“Each year the AI Creative Summit grows alongside the industry it serves, but 2026 feels like a real turning point,” said Charlotte Wheeler, director of the AI Creative Summit. “The demand we’ve seen has been incredible, and expanding into the BFI allows us to match that energy with a format that truly reflects the scale and pace of innovation happening right now.

“Taking over the entire venue and introducing three content streams means we can go deeper, showcase more groundbreaking work, and create more meaningful connections across the creative community. It’s no longer just a conference – it’s a destination for anyone serious about the future of AI in creativity.”
