Canada's
Leading
AI Summit
+ Tradeshow.
Canada's AI Future Starts Here.
Core AI Summit brings together the people building artificial intelligence with the businesses, governments and organizations preparing to adopt it. Explore what AI can do today. Understand what's coming next. Build your path forward.
AI is moving fast.
Most organizations are still finding their way.
Artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations operate, compete and grow. But for many business leaders, the biggest challenge isn't understanding that AI matters — it's knowing where to begin.
Core AI Summit + Tradeshow is being built to help answer those questions.
We bring together researchers, technology companies, business leaders, government, investors and innovators to connect what is being developed with the organizations that need to understand and deploy it.
Understand where it's going.
AI is evolving too quickly for organizations to plan around today's technology alone. Core AI Summit + Tradeshow will look beyond today's tools and applications to explore what artificial intelligence could mean over the next three to five years — and what organizations should be doing now to prepare.
Core AI will cover a wide range of AI topics including:
AI Adoption & Enterprise Transformation
The Next 5 Years of AI
Canadian AI & Sovereign Technology
AI Infrastructure, Compute & Energy
Physical AI, Robotics & Autonomous Systems
Responsible AI, Security & Trust
Workforce, Education & AI Literacy
Startups, Investment & Commercialization
Built in Canada.
Connected to the world.
Canada helped pioneer modern artificial intelligence. Core AI Summit + Tradeshow is being created to connect Canada's extraordinary research and technology ecosystem with the businesses, governments, investors and international partners that can help turn Canadian innovation into economic opportunity.
The Summit will create a meeting place for Canadian AI companies, researchers and institutions while building connections with technology ecosystems around the world.
Connecting Canadian innovation with global markets and international collaboration.
Where our technology is developed matters.
The next chapter of AI will raise important questions about where our technology is developed, where our data is stored, where computing infrastructure is located and who controls the systems increasingly powering our economy.
Core AI Summit + Tradeshow will bring together technology, business and government leaders to explore Canada's role in building its own AI capabilities while remaining connected to global markets and international collaboration.
This is a constructive and forward-looking conversation — about building Canadian capability, not about limiting international partnership.
The technology behind the conversation.
Core AI Summit + Tradeshow will bring AI out of the presentation room and onto the show floor.
Attendees should be able to hear about a technology on stage, see it demonstrated on the trade show floor, meet the company behind it and understand how it could apply to their organization.
60+ exhibitors · 3 demonstration stages · Startup pavilion
From "we need AI" to "here's our plan."
For organizations that know AI matters but aren't sure where to begin, Core AI Summit + Tradeshow will provide practical education designed to turn uncertainty into action.
Through workshops, case studies, demonstrations and conversations with technology providers, attendees will be able to explore where AI fits within their organizations and begin developing a realistic path toward adoption.
