Aiba 2026

The AIBA conference serves as a bridge between AI innovators and business leaders, aligning organizations around AI-driven growth. After three editions, it is safe to say that it is the best place in the CEE region to share AI expertise and experiences in adopting AI tools for business.

The main theme of AIBA 2026: As AI systems evolve into agents and collaborators, success is no longer defined by technological capability alone, but by how well AI is embedded into business models, workflows, cultures, and societies. This year’s conference focuses on one challenge: how organizations move from AI experimentation to meaningful, scalable adoption that augments human reality and delivers measurable value.

Localization

Let’s meet in a place that symbolises adoption and progress

Situated in a repurposed coal mine, the museum has evolved from its industrial roots into a hub of cultural and technological innovation. Its architecture, where history meets modernity, sets an inspiring stage for discussions on AI’s transformative role in business. Blending historical legacy and futuristic vision, the venue mirrors our journey as we adopt AI in business; therefore, the Silesian Museum is the perfect home for the AIBA Conference.
