Hosted by University of Notre Dame / Universidad de los Andes

RISE AI Latin America Summit brings academia, industry and government to Santiago on 20–21 October 2026 to advance responsible AI across the region. Co-created by Universidad de los Andes and the University of Notre Dame, in partnership with institutions across Latin America, this two-day conference focuses on a defining question: how should AI be built, governed and shared so that it serves communities and the common good? It offers a regional forum for perspectives that can influence both Latin American priorities and the wider global conversation. The RISE AI framework The programme is organised around four connected principles: - Responsible: establishing accountability throughout the AI lifecycle, from data and model training to deployment and use, while aligning systems with human values and community needs. - Inclusive: reflecting different communities, languages, cultures, disciplines and lived experiences,and giving people affected by AI meaningful opportunities to shape it. - Safe: creating reliable, secure and robust systems that actively reduce harm, prevent misuse and address unintended consequences. - Empowering: using AI to expand human capability, strengthen communities, improve access to opportunity and augment rather than diminish human agency. These principles provide a practical basis for discussing innovation, governance and institutional change in a region where questions of access, sustainability and development are already urgent realities. Themes and perspectives The summit will convene contributors from universities, companies and public institutions across three highlighted tracks: - Education: skills development and institutional transformation - Health & Biotech: innovation spanning health and engineering - Business: AI adoption and governance models The wider context includes Latin America’s research capabilities, entrepreneurial momentum and public-sector demand. Attendees can expect a cross-sector conversation that connects technical progress with accountability, social impact and the realities of implementation. The event page also includes a call for abstracts, creating an avenue for relevant work to contribute to the summit discussion. Who should attend?… Register for this event

Hosted by Red Hat

Red Hat Summit: Connect Santiago 2026 explores how enterprises can adopt AI while retaining control of their data, infrastructure and technology strategy. Taking place on 27 October 2026 at Hotel Mandarin in Santiago, this Red Hat conference is designed for technology leaders and enterprise IT professionals working through the practical complexities of artificial intelligence adoption. It will be particularly relevant to teams operating at scale or within regulated industries, where governance, security and control cannot be treated as afterthoughts. What to expect The programme examines enterprise AI through an open-source lens, focusing on how organisations can pursue innovation without surrendering control of their underlying systems. The published themes include: - Data sovereignty and the enterprise AI challenge, considering the relationship between AI strategy, organisational data and infrastructure control. - Industry-specific applications, exploring AI in the context of real operational requirements rather than as a one-size-fits-all technology. - The open-source approach to enterprise AI, looking at how open technologies can support enterprise adoption and long-term flexibility. This is more than a high-level strategy conference. According to Red Hat, Summit: Connect offers access to technology experts alongside hands-on learning opportunities with Red Hat solutions. Attendees will also have options to meet Red Hat partners and exchange ideas with peers facing similar implementation questions. Who should attend? The event is aimed at technology decision-makers, enterprise architects, infrastructure and platform teams, cybersecurity professionals, and IT leaders responsible for introducing AI into complex organisations. It should also be useful for practitioners assessing how data sovereignty and industry constraints affect architecture choices. View the event and registration details
