Definition

AI LIVE: The London Summit is a flagship enterprise AI event organised by BizClik Media Group, the publisher behind AI Magazine. Running across two days at Olympia London in October 2026, the event combines a conference with 50+ speakers, a multi-zone expo, four executive workshops, and an AI awards ceremony. The theme for 2026 is "Technology + Human Purpose," positioning the event at the intersection of AI capability and organisational transformation.

What draws enterprise AI leaders to Olympia in October

AI LIVE is the business-to-business companion to BizClik's media portfolio. The 11 expo zones covering robotics, digital health, industrial AI, cybersecurity, and future finance allow attendees to navigate by vertical rather than following a single programme track. The awards ceremony adds a recognition dimension that distinguishes it from pure conference formats.

FAQ · Identity and audience

What is the relationship between AI LIVE and AI Magazine?

BizClik Media Group publishes AI Magazine and uses its editorial network to programme AI LIVE. The speaker faculty is curated by the AI Magazine editorial team, including Senior Editor Tom Chapman. The event positions itself as the in-person complement to BizClik's B2B media content.

Is AI LIVE primarily a conference or an expo?

Both. The 11 expo zones give it significant exhibition floor presence, while the 50+ speaker programme, executive workshops, and awards make it a full-format conference. Attendees can spend significant time on the expo floor without attending any sessions.

Who is AI LIVE NOT designed for?
  • Academic researchers presenting papers or seeking peer-reviewed proceedings
  • Small team and startup founders seeking intimate peer networking (scale of 2,000+ attendees)
  • Specialists in a single AI subdomain seeking deep technical content (this is a generalist enterprise AI event)
  • Professionals without a budget for enterprise-grade conferences (pricing not publicly disclosed but consistent with commercial events of this scale)
  • Those seeking a pure AI research or development conference
Are there virtual or hybrid attendance options?

The venue: Olympia London

The organiser: BizClik Media Group

BizClik Media Group is a London-based B2B digital media and events company operating sector-specific titles including AI Magazine, Supply Chain Digital, Sustainability Magazine, and Manufacturing Digital.

The company is planning a San Francisco edition for 2027.

Editorial take

AI LIVE: The London Summit is BizClik's bid for flagship status in the crowded London autumn AI calendar, competing with WorldSummit AI (Amsterdam, October) through scale and vertical coverage; its 11 expo zones and awards make it more expo-heavy than conference-pure, which matters for attendee type selection.
