CogX THE UK'S LARGEST FESTIVAL OF AI AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY

Mission

CogX is the UK’s largest festival of AI and emerging technology. The latest edition brought together over 15,000 delegates to hear from the world’s brightest minds from industry, government and academia, for a series of debates and workshops that provide clarity and tangible insights on the fast-evolving world of AI.

Today, artificial intelligence is no longer an avant-garde concept – it’s a technological reality that industry and society need to prepare for.

CogX exists to bring clarity to the world of AI, as the forum to discuss how we can urgently deploy new technology – and learn to do so in the right way.

Momentum

By convening the brightest minds from industry, government and academia, CogX 2019 took an optimistic look at the challenges ahead and demonstrated the tremendous opportunity that AI and emerging tech provides for supporting a better world.

CogX 2019 encouraged those attending to point their Tools, Tech and Talent towards the 17 Global Goals of the UN and build a brighter future – for business, for humanity and for the planet.

Across 12 topics, CogX 2019 delivered 400 hours of content and explored a huge range of topics from the rise of digital beings and affective computing to how other emerging technologies such as DNA gene editing, autonomous transportation, blockchain, IoT, VR and AR are reshaping the way we move, learn and work.

CogX has a significant presence across international and national media – from Sky News, BBC TV and Radio, to Reuters, Bloomberg and the FT.
