World Summit AI Ticket Guide and discount code

World Summit AI returns to Amsterdam on 7 and 8 October 2026 for its 10th anniversary edition. The event takes place at Taets Art and Event Park and remains one of the most established gatherings for the global artificial intelligence community. Organisers expect more than 10,000 attendees, over 300 speakers, 100-plus exhibitors and 10 content tracks. The summit forms the centrepiece of World AI Week, which runs from 5 to 9 October and includes more than 100 affiliated events across the city covering business, science, technology and networking.

Inspired Minds, the organiser and a community of more than 500,000 members across 160-plus countries, brings together enterprise leaders, big tech, startups, investors, researchers, policymakers and ethics specialists. The 2026 programme focuses on practical deployment, governance and questions of AI sovereignty. Tracks include the Mainstage on shaping the new AI paradigm, Adopt AI for enterprise case studies, the Sovereign AI Forum, Pathfounders for founders and capital, Build AI, AI Labs, AI Media and interactive workshops. More than 40 small-group sessions and peer-to-peer roundtables add applied learning beyond keynotes.

Confirmed speakers include Daphne Koller (Founder and CEO of insitro and co-founder of Coursera), Zico Kolter (OpenAI board member and Carnegie Mellon professor), Harrison Chase (co-founder and CEO of LangChain), Mark Papermaster (CTO of AMD), Audrey Tang (Cyber Ambassador for Taiwan), Marietje Schaake (Stanford fellow and former MEP), Prof Simon See of NVIDIA and Diana Schildhouse of Colgate-Palmolive, alongside many others from research, industry and government.

Ticket options

The main Expo and Content pass gives access to the exhibition floor, all stages, workshops, networking areas, the AI-powered event app, CPD points and post-event materials (subject to speaker consent). Current listed pricing is €1,399 plus VAT. The Exclusive Member Bundle combines that pass with 12 months of InspiredMinds Community Hub membership for €1,099 plus VAT. VIP tickets add fast-track badge collection, reserved front-row seating, a private lounge, complimentary lunch and coffee, and automatic Hub enrolment, listed at €1,999 plus VAT. Solution-provider rates and reduced options for startups, academics, students, charities and associations are also available. Group discounts start at 10 percent for teams of five to nine and rise for larger groups.

A 20% reduction is available with the code DROOM20 on eligible individual tickets. This remains one of the most direct ways to lower the cost before prices increase closer to the event.

How to secure your tickets with Promo Code DROOM20 step by step

Follow these steps to apply the discount and complete registration:

1. Visit the official tickets overview page at https://worldsummit.ai/tickets/ to review current categories, inclusions and listed prices. You can also explore the organiser site at https://inspired-minds.co.uk/ for background on the community and events.
2. For the DROOM20 discount, go directly to the dedicated registration link: https://ti.to/inspiredminds/world-summit-ai-2026/discount/DROOM20. This route is set up for the code. Alternatively, start from the main tickets page, select your preferred pass and click the corresponding BOOK NOW button, which routes to the ti.to booking system.
3. Choose the ticket type (Expo and Content is the most common starting point) and the number of tickets required. Review the inclusions carefully so the pass matches your needs.
4. At the checkout stage, confirm that the code DROOM20 is applied or enter it in the promo or discount field. The system should display the 20% reduction on the eligible ticket price before tax. VAT is added at the local rate (currently 21 percent in the Netherlands for these sales).
5. Enter accurate personal details, company information and billing data. Double-check the email address, as the confirmation and subsequent ticket management links will be sent there.
6. Complete payment through the secure checkout. Once successful you will receive a confirmation email with your e-ticket.
7. Open the confirmation email and click the link to view or edit the ticket. Fully complete all required fields (full name, company, job title, country, postal code and any other requested information). This step is essential for badge printing on site. If you purchased multiple tickets, assign each one to the correct attendee email and ensure every recipient completes their own details.

After purchase you can also access hotel discounts and eligible flight offers through the official travel links provided on the World Summit AI site. The event app is released about two weeks before the summit and remains available for a month afterward.

Practical notes

The venue sits at Middenweg 62, 1505 RK Zaandam. Opening sessions start at 9 a.m. each day. High-security procedures and limited Main Stage capacity mean early arrival is recommended. Badge collection requires the completed e-ticket registration plus photo identification. Coaches run between central Amsterdam and the venue, and public transport options are available via the 9292 planner.

World Summit AI continues to serve as an independent forum for moving AI conversations from research and policy into real deployment. The addition of a dedicated Sovereign AI track and expanded workshops reflects the current priorities of the field. Applying DROOM20 through the links above secures both the 20 percent saving and a place at the 10th anniversary edition while inventory remains open.
