📍 London, United Kingdom 📅 June 10 and 11, 2026
In ten years, The AI Summit London has changed in nature. Long focused on the promises of artificial intelligence, the London summit now addresses a much more concrete question: how to integrate AI into the critical infrastructures of companies and States.
Organized on June 10 and 11, 2026 at the Tobacco Dock, this anniversary edition takes place in a context marked by rising tensions around computing, cloud infrastructures, digital sovereignty and energy capacities necessary for the massive deployment of AI. The event takes place during London Tech Week 2026
The profile of the speakers illustrates this evolution, large American infrastructures occupy a central place in the programming with Anthony Hills for NVIDIA, Benjamin Richardson for CoreWeave and Sasha Rubel for Amazon Web Services. The debates will focus less on the generative models themselves than on their industrialization: GPU infrastructures, orchestration of AI workloads, security, governance and scaling.
The summit also confirms the place taken by financial institutions in the operational adoption of AI. Davood Shamsi from JPMorgan Chase, Vivek Dak from Barclays and Mara Pometti from Mastercard will detail uses related to decision automation, risk, compliance and customer experience.
In healthcare, Anne-Claire Gerbaldi, Director of Digital, Data and AI at AstraZeneca, will discuss the integration of AI into pharmaceutical infrastructures and clinical research workflows.
The geopolitical dimension constitutes the other major axis of the 2026 edition. A round table will notably bring together Jim Carter from the British Ministry of Defense, Ollie Ilott from the British government and Sasha Rubel around a question that has become central for European economies: can Europe still build a sovereign capacity in artificial intelligence in the face of American and Chinese infrastructures?
The new positioning of The AI Summit London reflects the issues faced by leaders, CTOs, CIOs, investors, public officials and infrastructure operators. In ten years, The AI Summit London has gradually become an observatory of the new balance of power in the digital economy, and the 2026 edition confirms this trend, artificial intelligence is no longer just a software market, but an economic, industrial and geopolitical infrastructure.
