That was Europe’s leading AI event of 2026.
Two days in which business, science and politics understood what is happening right now.
This was BBKIF 2026
AI made understandable, tangible and usable
As a combination of AI expo, AI conference and business festival, the 2026 programme ranged from hands-on masterclasses and new business models to health and the big political questions: security, protecting democracy – and how to put clear guardrails around this breakneck pace of development.
“Understanding what is happening right now – and taking away concrete ideas, valuable contacts and solutions that move you forward personally and professionally.”
