⌖ Location TBC · Mexico City, Mexico

Hosted by WAN-IFRA LATAM

Mexico AI in Media Forum 2026 returns to Mexico City to address one of the most pressing questions facing journalism today: how can newsrooms strategically adopt artificial intelligence while preserving editorial integrity, audience trust, and journalistic values? This forum brings together media directors, editors-in-chief, managing editors, and digital transformation leaders to examine the real organisational and editorial impacts of AI adoption. What to expect The forum centres on eight strategic themes that reflect the current state of AI in newsrooms. AI in content creation explores how generative tools can support editorial production without compromising quality or trust. Sessions on generative search tackle how AI-powered search engines are fundamentally changing content visibility, traffic patterns, and distribution strategies — a critical concern as traditional search evolves. Data-driven storytelling sessions demonstrate how newsrooms are combining data analysis, visualisation, and AI to create compelling editorial narratives. The agent collaboration in the LLM era track examines new workflows emerging between journalists, editors, and AI systems, moving beyond simple automation to genuine human-AI partnership in the editorial process. AI governance is a cornerstone theme, addressing the frameworks and policies media organisations need to adopt AI responsibly. The forum explores what it means to become an AI-first newsroom — the cultural and strategic shifts required to embed AI across the organisation rather than treating it as a peripheral technology. Critical sessions on AI and disinformation examine the editorial risks posed by synthetic content, deepfakes, and manipulated media, alongside practical responses newsrooms can implement. The closing theme, the next chapter for AI and editors, looks ahead to the strategic decisions that will shape newsroom leadership in the coming years. Who should attend This event is designed for media executives and senior editorial leaders — directors, editors-in-chief, managing editors, section editors, and newsroom leaders navigating AI transformation. Digital journalists, data scientists, AI specialists, and teams working across product, technology, and editorial strategy will find sessions directly relevant to their work. Whether you're just beginning to explore AI adoption or already implementing advanced sy

Hosted by Posterity Global

Explore practical ways to procure, contract and manage AI systems at this free, participant-led unconference in Cardiff on 5 November 2026. Hosted by Posterity Global, this in-person event brings together commercial, technical, legal and operational decision-makers to tackle the fast-changing challenges surrounding AI products and services. Rather than following a fixed programme, attendees will create the agenda on the day, ensuring conversations focus on the real issues participants face in their organisations. What will be discussed? The unconference is designed as a cross-sector “big tent” gathering, with anticipated themes including: - Shifting from spending to investing: moving beyond rigid, transactional procurement and developing more dynamic commercial frameworks for rapidly evolving AI systems. - Evaluating hype versus reality: assessing vendor claims against genuine user needs while considering legacy infrastructure, data quality and risk constraints. - Contracting, risk and exit: creating agile contracts that support experimentation while addressing continuous model updates, data security, supplier lock-in and exit strategies from the outset. - Building capability and confidence: helping commercial and technical teams define problems, assess AI bids, govern supplier performance and evaluate whether AI delivers measurable improvements and public value.

⌖ Leeds · Sir William Henry Bragg Building GR.18

Hosted by Artificial Intelligence Society

Discover how agentic AI goes beyond chatbots to become your intelligent digital teammate at this beginner-friendly workshop hosted by the Leeds University Artificial Intelligence Society. Taking place at the Sir William Henry Bragg Building, this introductory session demystifies AI systems that don't just respond—they plan, execute, and learn from their actions. What Makes Agentic AI Different While traditional chatbots simply reply to prompts, agentic AI systems transform goals into tangible outcomes. These intelligent agents break down complex tasks into manageable steps, select and use appropriate tools—from search engines and code editors to spreadsheets, email clients, and calendars—then execute actions autonomously. What sets them apart is their ability to reflect on results, verify their work, and retry when needed. This fundamental shift from passive response to active execution represents a paradigm change in how we interact with AI. What You'll Learn This hands-on workshop covers the essential building blocks of agentic systems without requiring any coding experience. You'll explore how these agents leverage large language models (LLMs), integrate external tools, maintain memory across interactions, and employ sophisticated planning algorithms. The session breaks down the core feedback loop that enables agents to continuously improve their performance and adapt to changing requirements. You'll examine real-world student use cases that demonstrate practical applications, from automating research workflows to managing complex project timelines. The workshop also addresses crucial topics around safety considerations and evaluation frameworks, helping you understand both the capabilities and limitations of current agentic systems. Why Attend As the first workshop in the society's comprehensive Agentic AI series, this session provides the foundational knowledge you'll need for more advanced topics ahead. You'll leave with a clear mental model for understanding how agents operate, realistic expectations about their current capabilities, and insights into where this technology is heading. The society emphasises accessibility—no technical prerequisites are required, making this perfect for anyone curious about the next evolution of AI systems. Spots are limited for this popular workshop, ensuring an intimate learning environment where you can ask questions and engage directly with the material.

The event should be especially relevant to developers, data practitioners, technical leaders and others evaluating how graph-based approaches fit into contemporary AI projects.
