The Global AI Show comes back on 8–9 December 2025 at Space42 Arena, Abu Dhabi, with its most ambitious one yet — AI:2031: Accelerating Intelligent Futures. Organized by VAP Group in partnership with Times of AI, the program this year gathers international leaders, imaginative thinkers, and trailblazing enterprises to discuss how artificial intelligence will reshape the world during the next ten years.
The UAE, with its visionary ambition to be the world’s most future-proof country, offers the ideal platform for this conclave. Hosted with the facilitation of the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau, with the National Program for Artificial Intelligence and the Cyber Security Council as strategic collaborators, the event mirrors the region’s commitment to becoming a research and adoption leader, as well as an ethical regulator of AI.
