AICON Belfast
Dates: 23 September - 23 September 2026 Venue: ICC Belfast Visit Event Website
AICON Belfast is a full-day artificial intelligence conference bringing together technology leaders, innovators, academics and industry practitioners. Curated by Kainos and taking place as part of Belfast Tech Week, the conference will explore how artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation into practical, large-scale deployment across organisations.
The 2026 theme, “From Possible to Proven: Agents at Work”, focuses on agentic AI systems that can make decisions, coordinate workflows and perform tasks. Sessions will examine the opportunities presented by these technologies alongside important questions around implementation, accountability, risk and responsible adoption. The event also provides opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing across Northern Ireland’s growing technology sector.
