WELCOME
We invite you to explore this year’s theme: “How to trust AI? The Good, the Bad and the AI.”
AI Summit Brainport 2025 will take place on Thursday, November 13, at Evoluon in Eindhoven.
Join leading experts and innovators as we delve into the promise and peril of AI: from explainable AI and verifiable models that lift the veil on the “black box”, to the ethical implications, bias, and fairness that shape AI’s impact on society.
We will address existential risks posed by advanced AI, cutting-edge strategies for AI security, and practical ways to ensure safe deployment of AI models. Who bears responsibility when AI goes wrong, and how can we make accountability actionable?
Through interactive tracks and dynamic sessions, discover how to harness the good, confront the bad, and shape the future of trustworthy AI.
This year's summit introduces two exciting new tracks: Explaining AI and AI Implementation, replacing the Expert and Adoption tracks. Additionally, the AI Research track will return, along with the AI Pitch Competition Final.
Contrary to previous years the summit will start at 9.45h but the doors will open at 8.45h so you can have a coffee and do some networking.
Thank you for the overwhelming interest! All seats for the AI Summit Brainport 2025 are now taken.
If you have already registered but can no longer attend, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible to make room for others on the waiting list.
Unfortunately, new registrations can no longer be accepted.
