AI Creative Summit expands to fill entire BFI Southbank venue

The AI Creative Summit will take over the full BFI Southbank on 11 November 2026, marking the first time the event has occupied the entire venue. The expansion reflects surging demand from media and creative companies attending the summit's fourth edition.

The event, presented by Broadcast, Screen International and Broadcast Tech, will operate as a festival-style hub across three parallel content streams. This structure allows attendees to explore different areas of AI application in media, entertainment and creative work simultaneously.

Early-bird tickets are available now at £415+VAT. The first 100 tickets are priced at this rate.

What attendees will find

The expanded format includes:

  • Live demonstrations and practical insights from industry experts
  • Real-world case studies from global leaders
  • Three parallel content streams covering different aspects of AI in creativity
  • Expanded networking opportunities across the sector

Previous events have drawn attendees from Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Apple TV+, BBC, Channel 4, Sony Pictures Television and NBC Universal, among others. All three previous summits sold out.

Why the venue change matters

Charlotte Wheeler, director of the AI Creative Summit, said the move reflects the pace at which AI is reshaping creative work. "Taking over the entire venue and introducing three content streams means we can go deeper, showcase more work, and create more meaningful connections across the creative community," she said.

The single-venue approach creates what organisers describe as a cohesive environment for industry leaders, creators and technologists to connect.

Further speaker and programme details will be announced soon. Sponsorship enquiries are being accepted.
