The 4th Annual AI Regulation Summit

Innovate Finance is delighted to support City and Financial Global’s 4th annual AI Regulation Summit, which is taking place on 1st October in central London.

The year 2026 is a critical “turning point” for AI regulation because it marks the transition from theoretical legal framework to active enforcement. While previous years focused on drafting laws, 2026 is when significant global regulations – most notably the EU AI Act – become legally binding for many organisations. For businesses it means the end of the “wait and see” period and the organisations must now learn to navigate the complexities of international AI policies.

The summit will be bringing together government ministers, senior regulators, and industry leaders to discuss the fast-evolving landscape or artificial intelligence governance. Attendees will gain comprehensive insights into the UK Government’s approach to AI regulation, including updates on the proposed AI Bill and forthcoming policy frameworks, and will also get an expert analysis of different approaches to AI regulation being adopted across the world.
