FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When and where is the World AI Cannes Festival (WAICF) 2027 taking place?
The World AI Cannes Festival (WAICF) is a premier global artificial intelligence summit taking place on February 10–11, 2027, at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Last year, 10,000 attendees participated in the event, including corporate executives, tech founders, and venture capital investors. WAICF showcases enterprise AI innovation, emerging traveltech solutions, and strategic global partnerships.
How to connect with Travel industry innovators during WAICF?
The most heavily represented industries at WAICF typically include finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and telecoms. However, innovative travel leaders and traveltech entrepreneurs looking to adapt existing AI solutions to their sector are increasingly attending. But dedicated, industry-specific networking moments remain missing. To fill this gap, we decided to start a series of initiatives including a Travel Industry Networking event, to bring these profiles together.
Who can register for the networking event?
WAICF delegates and non-delegates alike are welcome to register. Please note that we carefully review each registration to ensure a balanced mix between supply-side leaders, cross-sector AI experts and innovators. Think you’d be a great addition to the mix?
