Riga to Host Major Artificial Intelligence Conference "AI Connect 2026"

Riga is preparing to host an artificial intelligence conference called AI Connect 2026, described as a large-scale event in the field. The conference's motto, "Build. Use. Explore.", points to three distinct content directions that will shape the event's program.

Three content tracks

In line with the chosen motto, the conference will feature three parallel content streams. This structure suggests organizers aim to reach different types of attendees — those who develop and build AI, those who already use it in their daily work, and those who are still exploring the technology and want to learn more about its possibilities.

Bilingual format

Conference content will be offered in both Latvian and English, signaling an intent to attract not only a local but also an international audience. Such a bilingual format is typical of larger technology-sector events aimed at bringing together local specialists with international guests and experts.

AI Connect 2026 fits into a broader trend in which artificial intelligence has increasingly become a central topic at technology events worldwide. With this conference, Latvia joins other countries seeking to build a platform for knowledge exchange and cooperation in this rapidly growing field.
