About the Arabian Chatbot & Agentic AI Summit in Abu Dhabi

Conversational and agentic AI have moved quickly from pilot projects to everyday tools in banks, government services and customer support teams. This summit focuses on what it takes to make them work in real organisations, with a strong regional angle.

The audience mixes industry experts, enterprises, start-ups, government teams and researchers working in conversational, generative and agentic AI. Past attendee logos shown by the organisers include Adobe, HSBC, BMW, Google, IBM and Amazon.

It is a compact, single-day format, which makes it easy to fit into a working week without losing several days to a big trade show.

What to Expect

From Pilot to Production

A key theme is moving generative AI, large language models and AI agents from the testing stage into live use, with talk of the practical hurdles teams face along the way.

AI Sovereignty and Governance

An AI sovereignty session looks at strategy, governance and return on investment, a topic that matters to many organisations in the Gulf.

Conversational Design and Voice AI

Sessions on human-centric conversational design and voice AI agents explore how to build assistants that people actually enjoy using.

Safety, Ethics and the Future of Work

The agenda also covers safety and security, ethics, compliance and diversity in AI, plus how mindsets and roles are changing as agents take on more work.
