AI Disrupt Summit 2026
AI Disrupt Summit 2026
**Where Perth's AI builders, innovators and startups come together.**
AI Disrupt Summit returns in 2026, bringing together Western Australia's growing AI community for a full day of innovation, practical learning and connection.
Hosted by Perth AI, the summit is designed for people building with artificial intelligence — from developers, engineers and startup founders to product teams, investors and enterprise leaders.
Following its inaugural event in 2025, AI Disrupt 2026 will explore the technologies, ideas and people shaping the future of AI, with a program spanning three key areas:
**Builders & Startups** — Turning ideas into AI-powered products, projects and businesses.
**Product & Engineering** — Designing, developing and deploying AI solutions in the real world.
**AI-First Enterprise** — Moving beyond experimentation to integrate AI into organisations and operations.
Attendees can expect technical talks and keynotes, hands-on workshops and labs, startup showcases, an early-stage startup battle and opportunities to connect with the people driving AI innovation across Western Australia.
Whether you're building your first AI application, scaling a startup or exploring how AI can transform an established organisation, AI Disrupt Summit is an opportunity to exchange ideas, discover what's being built and make meaningful connections.
