Data & AI Summit VIC 2026
The Data & AI Summit VIC 2026 convenes senior data and artificial intelligence leaders at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre for a focused examination of how organisations are embedding intelligent technologies into core business operations.
As Australian enterprises move beyond proof-of-concept projects toward production-grade AI systems, the summit addresses the strategic, technical and governance challenges that determine whether these initiatives deliver measurable returns or stall at the pilot stage.
