World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit 2026

The World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit is China’s flagship international gathering for the internet and AI industry, bringing together government leaders, global technology companies, AI researchers, investors and developers. The 2026 edition runs from November 2 to 5 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, under the theme “Open Source and Openness, Collaborative Development and Shared Benefits – Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.”

Artificial intelligence sits at the centre of this year’s agenda. A dedicated AI Wuzhen Dialogue in the main forum will bring executives from leading technology companies and developers of open source large models together to discuss building a global open source AI ecosystem. Across 27 sub-forums, sessions will cover trust, connectivity and interoperability among AI agents, robotics, embodied AI, spatiotemporal intelligence, and digital intelligence for green and low carbon development, alongside new research findings on frontier AI safety and governance.

The summit also hosts the WIC Awards for Pioneering Science and Technology, the WIC Distinguished Contribution Award and the Light of Internet Expo. Participation is through official registration and invitations via the World Internet Conference, and no public ticket pricing has been announced.
