2026 Atlantic AI Summit

Accelerating AI Adoption in Atlantic Canada

Join us June 3-5 in Fredericton!

The Atlantic AI Summit brings together leaders from industry, government and academia, alongside participation from ecosystems like Toronto, MIT and California. It provides a vital regional platform for applied AI collaboration, idea exchange, knowledge sharing and industry readiness.

This year’s theme is focused on practical AI adoption – how organizations are implementing AI today, and what that means for productivity, competitiveness, and growth.

An industry-academic connector kicks off the summit on the first day, followed by keynotes, panels and sessions over the next 2 days built around real-world use cases. More than 25 speakers!

If you’re government, industry, a researcher, innovator, early career professional or student, participate in the summit to:

  • Make new connections and create new collaborations
  • Be better prepared to adopt applied AI in your organization through exposure to real-world use cases, demonstrations, and hands-on sessions
  • Connect with employers, innovators and applied research opportunities
  • Increase visibility for Atlantic Canada’s AI capabilities, talent, and success stories at the regional, national and international level
  • Fuel momentum toward pilot projects, applied research, and commercialization efforts rooted in regional priorities and needs.

Registration closes May 20th.
