PauseCon London 2026 (4-7 Sep): PauseAIs third summit for activists, researchers and organisers working to pause the development of superintelligent AI — part conference, part workshop, part public action.
PauseCon London 2026 is the third edition of PauseAI's strategic summit, running 4-7 September 2026 in London. It is aimed at activists, researchers, policymakers and community organisers concerned about the risks of frontier and superintelligent AI, and describes itself as part conference, part organising workshop and part public action — so it sits at the advocacy end of the AI-safety calendar rather than the academic end.
Across four days the gathering blends talks and skill-building with hands-on campaign organising, reflecting PauseAI's focus on public mobilisation around a proposed pause on the most advanced AI development. It draws an international crowd of grassroots organisers and safety-minded technologists who want to coordinate strategy and action.
At the time of writing the venue and detailed programme were still to be announced, and there was some ambiguity in listings between a London and a Brussels edition, so treat the exact location as provisional and confirm the final details on the official PauseCon site before making travel plans.
