Chicago AI Week

Scaling Responsible AI to Drive Enterprise Innovation

Chicago AI Week 2025 (June 16–19, 2025) marks the third edition of this premier gathering of global AI leaders from industry, government, and academia. Building on the success of 2024, which welcomed 500+ attendees for a week-long program featuring over 50 sessions and 120 speakers, this year’s event will further elevate dialogue on responsible AI, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.

The 2025 edition is powered by AI 2030 in partnership with 1871 and Banking Exchange, and is supported by a distinguished Advisory Group featuring leaders from both the public and private sectors across a wide range of industries. The program will include AI Industry Day, Responsible AI Day, hands-on workshops, executive roundtables, and high-impact networking events.

Together, we’re shaping the future of AI from Chicago to the world.
