And just like that, AI Horizon 2026 is officially underway!
Day 1 at the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC) brought together an incredible mix of people, ideas and technologies — from industry leaders and innovators to businesses, students and AI enthusiasts.
With participants from more than 20 countries and representatives from over 120 technology companies, universities and organisations, AI Horizon 2026 is creating a space for people across different industries to connect, learn and explore what AI can do.
The day kicked off with our Opening Ceremony, officiated by YB Jagdeep Singh Deo, Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang and Organising Chairman of AI Horizon 2026, marking the official start of this inaugural two-day event.
We were also proud to welcome the support of our Gold Sponsor, SanDisk Storage, and Silver Sponsors, Exabytes (MY) and Intel.
Beyond the opening, the Industry AI Pavilion was buzzing throughout the day, with visitors exploring AI technologies, solutions and innovations across different sectors.
Our Day 1 workshops also brought AI into practice, with sessions covering AI automation and workflow systems and AI system thinking — giving participants the chance to dive deeper into how AI can be applied in real-world settings.
From inspiring conversations and industry insights to technology showcases and hands-on learning, Day 1 was a great start to AI Horizon 2026.
And we’re not done yet.
DAY 2 IS HAPPENING TODAY!
The AI Conference, Industry AI Pavilion and workshops continue today at PWCC, with even more opportunities to learn, connect and discover the possibilities of AI.
🎟️ Exhibition admission is FREE and open to everyone!
