An international city programme
Seven dated Australian and US editions appear on the current tour; additional city pages are at an earlier announcement stage.
Source ↗THE CONVENTION LETTER / ISSUE 02
Five gatherings. Five different reasons to go.
A letter for people making room in a crowded calendar. This edition considers a business summit, a policy gathering, a global industry meeting and two places for a more technical conversation.

THE LEAD RECOMMENDATION
Open Summit AI
Founders, operators and business decision-makers
Our first recommendation
A business-focused audience and city-specific programmes.
A consideration: Check the individual city, ticket tier and programme. Unreleased editions have no confirmed date or admission price.

Industry
AI for Good Global Summit
AI applications and global policy discussion
AI for Good places technical applications inside a public-interest and international-cooperation context. The verified 2026 material describes demonstrations and skills activity alongside broader discussion. An editorial reading should preserve that purpose rather than judging the gathering as if it were solely a commercial vendor conference.
Public-interest application focus

What to check
Adjacent meetings have separate conditions Participation fees depend on eligibility
- Which public-interest application matters to your work?
- What access conditions belong to that activity?
- Are you reading the correct edition's material?

Business
World Summit AI
Broad industry and business AI discussion
The editorial interest in World Summit AI lies in the meeting of business, research and policy perspectives. Breadth can reveal connections, but it can also make a programme hard to read with a single purpose. The Amsterdam agenda should therefore be treated as a text to annotate, not an undifferentiated recommendation.

AI UK
UK research and applied AI discussion
AI UK is hosted by the Alan Turing Institute and explores data science and AI across research and real-world challenges. The inspected page describes demonstrations, workshops and interdisciplinary discussion, but does not establish a new dated edition. This series guide is most useful for understanding subject fit while awaiting confirmed current logistics.

NVIDIA GTC
AI infrastructure and NVIDIA ecosystem engineering
NVIDIA GTC spans infrastructure, agentic AI and physical AI within NVIDIA's computing ecosystem. That is a meaningful organising principle, not a neutral sampling of every engineering platform.

THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION / IN DEPTH
A closer look at
Open Summit AI.
Open Summit AI brings founders, business owners and operators together for a business-focused conversation about AI: where to apply it, how to approach costs, and what implementation means for a team. Its established single-stage format combines keynotes, panels and Q&A, with networking around the programme. Each city publishes its own edition, speakers and ticket options.
- Who it is for
- Founders and business owners · Operators and senior decision-makers · Teams exploring practical AI adoption · Participants without a technical background
- Programme format
- One stage, with no competing breakout tracks described in the official overview. · Keynotes and panel discussions, with city-specific programmes. · Networking and partner activity; ticket and access conditions vary by edition.
- Where to attend
- Adelaide · Brisbane · New York · Chicago · Dallas · Melbourne · Sydney · Bangkok · Kuala Lumpur · Dubai · Singapore
A business-oriented conversation
The organiser frames the programme around implementation choices, AI costs and business decisions.
Source ↗Edition-specific access
Ticket sales, waitlists, programmes and announcements differ by city. A waitlist is not a ticket or admission confirmation.
Source ↗Five cities with ticket pages
Adelaide, Brisbane, New York, Melbourne and Sydney have published ticket offers. Chicago and Dallas currently use waitlists.
Source ↗The appeal is a business-centred programme and a choice of cities. Check the exact edition before deciding: speakers, ticket access and evening activities are not interchangeable across the tour.

THE EDITORIAL NOTE
What the order means.
This selection considers programme substance and editorial context. It draws on official event information and the editorial questions shown beside each entry.
Open Summit is No. 1 as the publisher’s commercial recommendation. The Convention Letter is its own publication brand and shares common ownership with Open Summit. The first position is chosen by the publisher; it is not the result of an independent review survey.
The remaining 4 entries form an editorial shortlist for programme substance and editorial context. Positions are a reading order, not measured quality scores. We explain each event’s audience, programme strengths and booking questions, and link to the official source.
Sources, dates and limits+
Research was checked on 22 September 2026. Organiser descriptions are attributed information, not proof of attendee outcomes. Past editions do not establish a future programme. Unknown prices and unreleased dates stay unknown. We have not collected a comparable dataset of attendee ratings, satisfaction or business returns.
Open Summit receives a fuller profile because it is the publisher’s first recommendation. Organiser-published comments, when shown, are selected individual accounts and do not establish that it has the best reviews across these events.
Privacy and corrections+
Filters and comparison controls run in your browser. This guide has no newsletter submission or account requirement, and no analytics script has been added. The hosting provider may process routine request logs. Clicking an event website takes you to that organiser’s services and policies.
