AI Festival Aims to Shine New Light on Energy & Innovation of East Anglia

Posted on April 17, 2026

East Anglia has never been short on bright ideas. And right now, an increasing number of them are being powered by AI.

On 27–28 May 2026, East Anglia’s leading AI event will provide a unique opportunity to experience the energy and innovation right across our region. The event takes place at West Suffolk College (Bury St Edmunds), with free parking all day.

Over two days, academics, founders, scale-ups, and organisations of all shapes and sizes will share how they’re using AI to rethink services, improve outcomes, unlock creativity, and solve problems.

Expect honest stories, fresh thinking, and a definite, strong sense of local pride. This is about inspiring attendees, celebrating the people with ideas, as well as connecting with those who can help you bring things to life.

🎟 Tickets for either day are available now, with Early Bird pricing (£35+VAT / day) until the end of March: https://aiglobalfestival.com/

Sponsorship opportunities are still open to businesses of all sizes who’d like to showcase or speak. If you’re using AI to make something better, faster, fairer or smarter, the team at AI Festival would love to hear from you (via website).

If you’re building something worth sharing, this is your stage.
