About this Event

Connected AI: Northern Ireland’s AI Support Ecosystem -

Connecting local employers to AI support, skills and innovation pathways


Connected AI is a practical conference for businesses at every stage of their AI journey, bringing together key partners from across Northern Ireland’s AI support ecosystem through a single, collaborative event.


Bringing together the region’s AI ecosystem, the conference will showcase the support, skills and opportunities available through industry-led programmes, education providers and hear from local business leaders.


Designed for local employers and SMEs keen to explore what AI could mean for their business, the conference will feature expert speakers, real-world case studies and breakout sessions tailored to different levels of AI adoption. Whether you are just starting to explore AI, looking to test new tools, or considering responsible deployment and governance, the event will help you understand what support pathways is available and what steps to take next.


Attendees will hear directly from business leaders already applying AI in practice, connect with education providers and ecosystem partners who can support innovation and upskilling, and leave with a clearer view of how to move from curiosity to capability.


This conference is delivered in partnership between Belfast Metropolitan College, the Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC), and Queen’s University Belfast, including the William J Clinton Leadership Institute, Momentum One Zero (MOZ), the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC).
