AI and Games Conference
Bringing together the leading experts in AI for the video games industry.
The ‘AI and Games Conference‘ returns for 2025 as we continue our efforts to provide a high-quality venue for professionals across the games industry to learn, network, and discuss applications of artificial intelligence for video games.
Our inaugural outing proved to be a great success, with a strong turnout and well-received programme. For 2025 we have expanded our remit with a two-day event comprised of multiple tracks where you will hear from the leading minds in the sector on emerging trends, post-mortems, research breakthroughs, and broader business developments. In addition, we have expanded our venue floorspace to provide more opportunities for networking, business engagements, and demonstrating new and upcoming tools and projects.
We look forward to welcoming you to London this November!
The AI and Games Conference is organised by Game AI Events CIC - a UK-based non-profit - that seeks to provide accessible, high-quality events for the game AI community.
