Submission Deadline

We're accepting talk proposals for the AI and Games Conference 2026 until 23:59 BST on Friday 1st August.

About the Event

The AI and Games Conference brings together leading experts from across the video games industry to learn, connect, and advance the conversation around game AI. The conference is organised by Game AI Events CIC — a UK-based non-profit dedicated to networking and knowledge exchange for AI professionals in games across Europe — in partnership with AI and Games Ltd. If this is your first time, take a moment to visit our website to learn more about the event and what we're building for the game AI community.

Submitting Your Talk

Use this form to submit your proposal. Accepted speakers receive a complimentary ticket to the event. We will be collecting following information in the form:

1. 💬 Information about the talk
2. 🗣️ Information about the speaker(s)
3. 📅 Information about the event

Please read our code of conduct before submitting. All participants at Game AI Events CIC events are expected to follow it.

Talk Selection and Mentorship

After the deadline, our editorial team reviews all submissions and confirms the final programme. Given the volume we receive, we can't provide individual feedback on proposals that aren't selected.

Every accepted speaker is paired with a mentor from the editorial team — someone who can help you understand audience expectations and give feedback on early drafts. We put extra effort into supporting first-time speakers and those with less presentation experience. The better the experience is for you, the better it is for the audience.

A few things that will strengthen your submission:

• Lead with takeaways. What will attendees learn? Why does your talk matter to them right now?
• Know the library. Browse our YouTube channel to see what we've covered before. Does your talk fill a gap, build on existing content, or push the conversation somewhere new?
• Focus on the how and why. Studios protect proprietary work — that's understood. But sharing good practice and lessons learned is what moves the community forward.
• If you're a tools or middleware company, show how your tool works and what value it delivers. Proposals that read as product pitches are unlikely to be selected.
• Pitch the weird stuff. Esoteric, niche, or unconventional topics are welcome. Our organisers are also a bit strange. We can relate.
