The UK's 2027 AI calendar already has several substantial events, with a notable concentration in London. This page records dates confirmed by organisers as of 13 September 2026 and will need updating as new programmes are announced.
February
3 to 4 February: AI & Big Data Expo Global, Olympia London. The programme covers enterprise AI, AI development, data and analytics, and related technologies through co-located events. February makes it useful for teams setting annual priorities and supplier shortlists.
March
9 to 11 March: Peak of Data and AI, QEII Centre, London. The event is positioned around data and AI leadership.
10 to 11 March: Big Data & AI World, ExCeL London. This is part of Tech Show London, linking AI and data with cloud, cybersecurity and technology infrastructure.
These events overlap. If both appeal, compare the detailed agendas, meeting opportunities and travel time before buying. A diary that looks feasible at month level may be impossible at session level.
June
9 to 10 June: The AI Summit London, Tobacco Dock. The organiser lists a large multi-track programme with 5,000-plus attendees. The event sits within London Tech Week, making June an especially dense period for technology meetings in the capital.
November
11 to 12 November: Women in AI Global Summit, London. The summit connects research, engineering, responsible AI, enterprise adoption, careers, investment and leadership. It is designed for women and allies across the global AI ecosystem, with both in-person and virtual participation.
Build a useful annual plan
An events calendar should be a portfolio, not a collection of attractive dates. Give each event a role:
one market-scanning event to understand vendors and direction; one specialist event for technical or governance depth; one relationship-led event for peers, talent and partnerships; one moment to publish, speak or demonstrate your own work.
Before approval, record the intended outcome, total cost, people to meet and how learning will be shared. After each event, hold a short review. Which assumptions changed? Which contacts deserve a follow-up? Which idea will enter a project, policy or career plan?
Planning for accessibility and travel
Check venue accessibility, captioning, quiet spaces, dietary provision and hybrid access directly with the organiser. International visitors should also confirm current UK entry requirements through official government guidance. Booking early can improve choice, but do not book non-refundable travel until the event and venue are confirmed.
The calendar will expand as organisers release 2027 dates. We include only events whose official pages provide enough information to verify at publication.
