As part of the preparations for the India - AI Impact Summit, to be held on 19 – 20 February 2026 in New Delhi, India, we are launching a Call for Proposals inviting organisations worldwide to host affiliated Pre-Summit Events.
These events will provide a decentralised platform for catalysing discourse aligned with the Summit’s priorities. By bringing together diverse stakeholders and leveraging collective intelligence on AI, they will ensure robust, inclusive, and comprehensive contributions to the Summit’s themes.
By hosting a Pre-Summit Event, organisations can actively shape the Summit’s deliberations and outcomes. Selected events will receive official co-branding and visibility as part of the Summit’s global programme.
Governments, Academic and Research Institutions, Multilateral Organisations, Private Sector Organisations, Non-profits, Think Tanks, Civil Society Organisations, and Industry or Professional Associations.
This Call for Proposals welcomes a diverse range of events that can contribute meaningfully to the Impact Summit's objectives. Eligible event types include, but are not limited to:
- Workshops
- Panel discussions
- Roundtables & Policy Dialogues
- Conferences and Symposiums
- Technology showcases or demonstrations
- Innovation challenges or hackathons
- Academic Seminars and Research Presentations
- Industry Forums and Business Summits
- Fireside chats or moderated dialogues
Eligible events must be held between 11th August 2025 to 31st January 2026.
Rolling submissions. International entities are recommended to apply at least one month before the date of the event
