AINext Awards & Conference Singapore 2026: Where AI Leaders, Innovators and Decision-Makers Shape the Future of Artificial Intelligence

Singapore | 3 November 2026 | Crowne Plaza (Changi Airport)

Singapore is set to welcome AI leaders, technology innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers and business decision-makers for the AINext Awards & Conference Singapore 2026, taking place on 3 November 2026 at the Ballroom of Crowne Plaza (Changi Airport), 75 T1 Boulevard, Changi, Singapore.

A Message from Our CEO

“AINext Singapore 2026 is about bringing the region’s AI conversation back down to earth — away from hype and toward the decisions leaders are actually making right now. This year’s programme reflects that shift: creative industries, sustainability, construction, workforce development, governance and autonomous agents are no longer separate conversations, they are all part of the same question every organization is asking — how do we put AI to work responsibly and at scale? We’re bringing together 35+ speakers from across enterprise technology, financial services, robotics and emerging tech to help answer that question, and I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone to Singapore on 3 November.”

— Anas Jawed, CEO, Next Business Media
