AI is the hottest topic of the decade, and it’s not just ChatGPT and Claude grabbing the headlines anymore. Artificial Intelligence has evolved into a diverse ecosystem of innovative solutions designed to boost productivity, enhance creativity, and help us achieve more with less.
From logistics and supply chains, to entertainment, healthcare and finance, the global AI market is expected to reach a value of $4.8 trillion by 2033. That’s a 25-fold increase since 2023.
Whether you’re a startup founder, a software developer or a data scientist, AI events are where you’ll get the latest news, insights, and reports from leaders in the AI industry. So, which are the top events worth attending in the second half of 2025? Here are some of our top picks.
1) SuperAI
Date: June 18–19, 2025
Location: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Set in Singapore, where thought leaders are already shaping global AI ethics, governance strategies, and technology developments at breakneck pace – SuperAI is an event no-one can afford to miss. This two-day mega conference is a magnetic force for founders, researchers, policymakers, and enterprise leaders alike.
SuperAI combines the latest tech demos, with behind-the-scenes speaker sessions from companies leading the charge to an intelligent future. You can expect to hear from the likes of NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google, AWS, Zoom, Goldman Sachs, and countless others, all discussing the next wave of transformative AI tools. Speakers include Balaji Srinivasan (author of The Network State), Emad Mostaque (CEO of Intelligent Internet), and Sharon Zhou (CEO of Lamini AI).
Plus, SuperAI is home to the “Genesis” competition – the world’s largest AI startup competition, where pioneers compete for the chance to introduce the world to the next must-have app or system. Whether you’re into AI infrastructure, LLMs, regulation, AI newcomers, or investment opportunities, the agenda is stacked.
Make sure you set aside some extra time if you want to really make the most of this experience. Though the official event only lasts for two days, there’s a whole week of networking events, meetups, workshops and more to explore before and after.
2) RAISE Summit
Date: July 8–9, 2025
Location: Carrousel du Louvre, Paris
Want to rub shoulders with some of AI’s boldest visionaries? Head to Paris this July, for the incredible RAISE Summit. With 5,000+ attendees and 2,000+ companies, this conference brings together thousands of the brightest minds, unifying them in the quest to validate and explore new AI strategies through real-world use cases.
RAISE is where fearless dialogue takes place. The summit is bringing together the crème de la crème of AI this year, with 275+ iconic speakers including Nikesh Arora (CEO of Palo Alto), Jonathan Ross (CEO & Founder of Groq), Clément Delangue (CEO & Founder of Hugging Face), Benoît Dageville (Founder of Snowflake), Lip-Bu Tan (CEO of Intel), Matt Hicks (CEO of Red Hat) and many more.
Beyond the keynote sessions and product demos, you’ll have the opportunity to join a VIP dinner on the Seine or turn your visionary ideas into reality with the ‘RAISE the STAKES’ startup competition.
And if you want to flex your AI skills, RAISE will host the largest AI hackathon in Europe, where developers compete, collaborate, and build the future in real time. For companies looking to hire talent or scope out what’s next, this is ground zero.
RAISE puts a premium on design and curation. The venue itself – a historic Parisian landmark – is as much a part of the experience as the sessions. Think Michelin-grade networking, panels with poetic ambition, and a who’s-who of AI.
3) Ai4
Date: August 11–13, 2025
Location: MGM Grand, Las Vegas
With around 8,000 attendees, 600 speakers, and more than 250 exhibits, the Ai4 event is huge. First introduced in 2018, this has become the biggest conference in North America – and one of the most inclusive and educational learning experiences around.
Held at the MGM Grand, this conference will host some of the most impressive names in the AI scene. Speakers include Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI”, Sunita Verma, the CTO of Character AI, and Atul Dalma, the CAO of Morgan Stanley.
With beginner summits, job expos, and AI training sessions, this is a rare conference where you don’t need a PhD or startup to feel at home. Whether you’re an HR leader exploring AI hiring tools, or an educator incorporating machine learning into your curriculum, Ai4 meets you where you are.
But don’t mistake accessibility for lack of depth. You’ll be spoilt for opportunities to learn and grow here, whether you’re looking for demos of cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, or product showcases.

Location: Vilnius, Lithuania
Looking for a more technical, deep-dive experience into AI and its neighboring disciplines? The Big Data Conference Europe in Vilnius will definitely deliver. This four-day event dives into big data, high-load systems, data science, machine learning, and the evolving role of AI in modern applications.
Set in one of the world’s rising tech hotspots, this event doesn’t just look at how AI is evolving in isolation – it explores the impact of AI in real-world systems. Expect a packaged schedule with intensive workshops, expert sessions, and real-life use cases. The conference will cover topics ranging from quantum computing, to multimodal AI, and intelligent data discovery.
If you’re looking for thought leaders, just some of the confirmed speakers include Ricardo Sueiras (AWS), Bobur Umurzokov (Neon), Eugene Klyuchnikov (Zalando), and Jasleen Singh (Dell Technologies). As an added bonus, you can combine your ticket to the Big Data conference with a pass to the RPA Europe event – for insights into the next era of Robotic Process Automation.
All that, and you’ll have access to a host of pre-conference workshops where you can gain practical insights from industry experts, and network with likeminded professionals.
