AI Unlocked 2026, will bring together the brightest minds from academia, industry, and government to explore the power, promise and purpose of artificial intelligence.

This two-day conference, chaired by Dr. Anjulika Salhan, a global expert in AI-driven innovation and founder of Systems Holdings, will be held at the prestigious Hyatt Regency in Birmingham. We invite you to join a dynamic community of AI pioneers shaping the future of machine learning and intelligent systems.

World-class speakers from across sectors will share their research, breakthroughs, and real-world applications of AI, ranging from deep learning architectures and causal models to AI in finance, healthcare, governance, and regulation.

Key themes include:

  • The evolving architecture of AI systems: transformers, GNNs, diffusion models
  • The rise of foundation models, multimodal AI, and explainability
  • Bridging theory and application: from generalisation and convergence to robust deployment
  • Policy and ethics: AI governance, regulatory frameworks, and public-private collaboration
  • What's next? Symbolic reasoning, AI safety, causal AI, and hybrid intelligence

To celebrate innovation and talent, the congress will present four prestigious awards:

  • Best PhD Student Paper
  • Outstanding A-Level Project in AI
  • Best Industry Application of AI
  • Best AI Tool or Application Created

This is more than a conference. It is a collaborative platform for those who believe that understanding, designing, and governing AI requires vision, depth, and dialogue. Join us in unlocking the intelligence that will define our future.
