Join tech leaders from across Canada and from Europe for AICON Halifax – a groundbreaking international forum exploring the social impact of artificial intelligence.

Building on AICON conferences led by Belfast-based tech powerhouse Kainos in both Belfast and Silicon Valley, this inaugural Halifax edition brings together leading voices from business, academia, and government to ask: How can AI be harnessed to transform public services while building stronger, more prosperous and more inclusive communities?

Our People-First approach to NI will be distinctively Nova Scotian but include voices from Ireland, the UK and from across Canada.

Belfast and Halifax share deep-rooted connections through history, migration, and culture.
Now, AICON Halifax aims to reimagine those ties for the digital age – forging a new chapter
of transatlantic innovation and collaboration and shining a spotlight on the tech advances of both cities.

It’s our hope that AICON Halifax will spur efforts to make Halifax a national centre for AI research and adoption and usher in a new era of co-operation between Halifax and Belfast.
