World AI Cannes Festival 2027 (WAICF)
📅 Wednesday, 10 February 2027 → Thursday, 11 February 2027 in 204 days
Major European applied-AI festival at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, Feb 10-11 2027, now delivered by Informa.
The World AI Cannes Festival brings the applied and enterprise side of artificial intelligence to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes on February 10-11, 2027. From 2027 the event is delivered by Informa as part of its global AI Summit series, alongside editions in London, New York, Las Vegas, Melbourne and Singapore.
WAICF gathers AI change-makers, enterprise decision-makers, researchers, startups and investors around keynotes, industry stages, workshops and a large exhibition floor. Typical themes include generative AI and large language models in production, machine-learning operations, responsible and regulated AI, and vertical applications across finance, healthcare, retail and industry.
For attendees the draw is the concentration of senior industry practitioners and vendors in one Mediterranean location early in the year, making it a practical place to benchmark tools, meet partners and gauge where enterprise AI adoption is heading. It sits distinctly on the industry/applied side of the calendar rather than the academic-research track, and its regional French Riviera identity makes it a rankable alternative to the very largest global tech expos.
