A one-day, practitioner-oriented conference on AI development, machine learning and large language models, held at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre for developers, architects and tech leaders in the Nordic region.
AI fokus is a one-day developer-oriented conference focused exclusively on artificial intelligence, including AI development practices, machine learning, AI tooling and large language models. It is organised by the team behind Jfokus, Sweden's long-running developer conference, and is positioned as a specialist AI event complementing the broader Jfokus programme. The conference is described by its organisers as a "no-nonsense" format aimed at developers, architects and tech leaders who want practical, technical content on AI.
The 2026 edition has concluded.
AI fokus 2026 took place on 19 May 2026 at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre. According to the organiser, the event attracted 2,000 participants. The conference ran as a single-day programme. Further details on the speaker lineup, session schedule and specific topics covered at the 2026 edition are not disclosed on the website as of last verification; the landing page has transitioned to a minimal holding state post-event.
AI fokus occupies a defined slot in the Nordic developer conference calendar in spring, following the broader Jfokus conference typically held at the same Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in late January or early February each year. As a single-day, AI-specialist event, it is distinct from general developer conferences and from large enterprise AI summits that target C-level executives. In the Nordic context, it sits alongside events such as Oredev (Malmo) and NDC Oslo as a practitioner-first conference, though with a narrower AI-specific scope. Internationally, it is comparable in format to AI-specific developer tracks at QCon or Devoxx.
The organiser describes the target audience as developers, architects and tech leaders. This indicates a primarily technical audience with a mix of seniority levels, united by an interest in applied AI and keeping current with rapidly evolving AI tooling. The "no-nonsense" positioning suggests a preference for technical depth over introductory or marketing-led content. The Nordic geography and the organiser's roots in the Jfokus Java developer community suggest a significant proportion of attendees from Swedish and broader Nordic technology organisations.
AI fokus is a single-day conference. Based on available information from the organiser's website:

AI fokus is a practitioner-oriented, single-day conference on AI with a developer-first positioning. It is organised by the same team behind the Jfokus developer conference and shares that event's community ethos. The "no-nonsense" descriptor used by the organiser signals a preference for technical substance over broad industry positioning or vendor presentations.
According to the organiser's website, AI fokus is run by the Jfokus team. Jfokus is Sweden's established annual developer conference, typically held at the same Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in January or February each year. AI fokus functions as a specialist, stand-alone complement to that event, not as a track within Jfokus itself.
The Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre is a purpose-built conference venue in central Stockholm, located adjacent to Stockholm Central Station. It regularly hosts major Scandinavian and European conferences and has capacity for large plenary sessions and parallel breakout tracks. Its central location and direct rail access make it accessible from across Sweden and from international destinations via Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
AI fokus is organised by the team behind Jfokus, a developer conference that has operated in Stockholm for over a decade. Jfokus historically focused on Java and JVM ecosystem development; the creation of AI fokus reflects an expansion into AI-specialist content. The organiser entity operating under the brand "AI-fokus" does not disclose further corporate details on the website as of last verification.
A focused, single-day AI conference for developers and architects, positioned as the AI-specialist counterpart to the Jfokus developer conference in Stockholm, with a practitioner-first format that resists the executive-summit positioning common among European AI events.
