TURKISH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUMMIT:
IGNITING INNOVATION THROUGH INQUIRY

Since 2018, the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Initiative (TRAI) has hosted the annual Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit (TRAI Summit), a dynamic gathering of distinguished experts, enterprising entrepreneurs, and industry professionals in the field of artificial intelligence. We’re excited to announce that this year’s summit will take place from October 26th to 28th, 2023. This year, we have chosen a simple yet thought-provoking theme: “Everything Starts with a Question.”
In the spirit of our theme, we aim to delve into the very heart of digital transformation – the curiosity that sparks innovation. We will discuss the formulation of successful projects born out of critical questioning and the impressive results of well-informed artificial intelligence investments. Together, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence is paving the way in various fields, contributing to sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
Attendees will get the chance to keep up-to-date with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, hear about groundbreaking projects and success stories from various sectors, and partake in networking activities on October 26th, the day of the physical summit. Additionally, participants can gain insights into promising career opportunities in the AI field and the growing AI startup scene.
Our three-day event program promises a comprehensive experience. On the first day at the Wyndham Grand Levent Hotel, you can learn about AI technologies from top-tier speakers, and interact with AI startups and leading Turkish companies in our foyer. The second day continues online, spotlighting key topics in AI, from sector-specific applications to the burgeoning AI startup ecosystem. The final day concludes with an engaging educational program on AI, marking the end of TRAI Summit.
We encourage all attendees at this year’s TRAI Summit to come prepared for innovative thinking and inquiry. With speakers and attendees from Turkey and around the globe, we will examine the future of our world through the lens of AI and technology.
Join us in this thrilling exploration of the AI landscape. Expand your knowledge and experience, and take a step closer to the technologies and ideas that are shaping our future. Register now to explore the world of AI together under the banner “Everything Starts with a Question.”
