The Bayes AI Global Forum 2026 is the first annual forum hosted by Bayes Business School and the Institute for Creativity and AI.
Designed as a warm-up event ahead of London Tech Week, the Forum reflects Bayes’ active engagement with one of the most
important conversations shaping business, education, technology, creativity, and society today.
Under the theme London as a Global Hub for AI Innovation, the Forum will bring together AI companies, technology practitioners, students, educators, entrepreneurs, alumni, and innovation ecosystem partners to explore how London supports global AI expansion, responsible innovation, talent development, creativity, and cross-market collaboration.
This year’s Forum is sponsored by Alibaba Cloud and Fotor. The event will focus on how AI companies translate technological capabilities into market relevance, how they adapt across different cultural and regulatory contexts, and how Bayes can help connect industry practice with future business talent.
The afternoon will include parallel discussion streams, a closing panel and Q&A, and a networking reception.
