Excitement is building for the India AI Impact Summit 2026, set to unfold in New Delhi from February 16-20. With registrations exceeding 35,000, this gathering is poised to eclipse the scale of prior global AI summits, emphasizing practical, inclusive AI that delivers real-world impact.
Representatives from over 100 nations are expected, including a powerhouse lineup of 15-20 world leaders, 50+ ministers, and 40+ CEOs from top firms. The event will also host about 500 prominent AI ecosystem players, from startups to tech pioneers.
Diversity and depth define the participation. A dedicated showcase will feature 500+ AI startups, paired with 500 sessions integrated into the core program, cementing its status as a premier global AI platform.
Leading up to the main event, enthusiasm has been palpable: over 1,300 proposals for preparatory activities, 500+ events conducted worldwide, and seven key programs drawing 300,000+ attendees. This reflects the summit’s broad resonance.
The global AI summit series has matured—from Bletchley Park’s focus on risks, Seoul’s ethical dialogues, to Paris’s implementation frameworks. India now steps forward prominently, advocating for visionary execution over mere discussion.
Stakeholders across sectors—policymakers, executives, academics, NGOs, and multilaterals—will collaborate to forge the agenda. For full details on themes, schedules, and involvement, visit the official site.
