Driving AI 2026 is a full-day conference for those who work with AI at a serious and ambitious level – and for those well on their way.
We’re looking for talks from people who are deep in the models, the code, the systems, and the consequences. Those who build, experiment, implement, fail, adjust, and learn. And those who bring strong perspectives on where AI is heading – technically, organizationally, and from a human point of view.
Have you been working on something new? Something difficult? Something that’s not “finished” yet, but truly matters? Then we definitely want to hear from you.
We want talks that go straight to the heart of AI – for an audience that builds AI or works closely with it. We love technically dense talks that are also engaging, current, and relevant.
We’re especially interested in talks based on what you’re working on right now – the difficult, the unresolved, the exciting. And especially the things you want feedback, pushback, or open dialogue on.
Examples of relevant topics include:
New or evolving models, architectures, and methods
Experiences from real-world AI projects – what worked and what didn’t
Using AI in software development, systems, and solutions. Vibe coding welcome.
Autonomous systems, agents, and complex compositions of AI
Security, trust, responsibility, and risk in practical AI
Ethics, regulation, and legal aspects – from a technical and applied angle
Provocative, alternative, or European perspectives on AI development
If your proposal is strong, timely, and relevant, we’d love to see it – even if it doesn’t fit neatly into a category.
Keynotes: Longer talks (approx. 45 minutes + Q&A). Only a few keynote slots are available.
Talks: Standard format is 20 minutes for the talk, followed by 5 minutes for Q&A and 5 minutes for transition. Clarity, substance, and clear takeaways are key.
Sales pitches and product demos: Driving AI is a professional conference – not a sales platform.
Historical overviews without present-day relevance. We're focused on what’s happening now – and what’s coming next.
Driving AI brings together a highly engaged, technically minded AI audience that listens, challenges, and asks good questions.
