Turning the spotlight onto Australia's AI researchers

About the Kingston AI Symposium

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a cornerstone of the global economy. Ensuring that Australia develops and sustains world-class capability in this critical area requires coordinated national leadership, strong research communities, and visible platforms that recognise excellence.


Hosted by the Kingston AI Group of Australian AI professors, the Kingston AI Symposium establishes a national forum dedicated to advancing Australia’s standing in AI research and innovation. The event will convene Australia’s most accomplished AI researchers and practitioners to showcase outstanding work, strengthen domestic collaborations, and recognise emerging leaders shaping the future of the field.


We invite industry partners, talent acquisition professionals, researchers, and AI enthusiasts to participate in this national gathering and engage directly with Australia’s leading AI community.


The inaugural Kingston AI Symposium and gala dinner will be held on Thursday, 19 March 2026 at Adelaide Oval, South Australia.
