Al, Technology & The Future: Innovation, Intelligence, and Human Impact
Join us for TechFest 2026, the South West of Ireland’s leading technology conference, taking place on Thursday, 21 May at the Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork.
TechFest 2026 will convene technology leaders, policymakers, innovators and industry experts for a high impact, in-person experience focused on one of the defining issues of our time: how Al and emerging technologies are reshaping business, society and public trust.
This dynamic one day conference will feature high-profile keynote speakers, expert panel discussions and real world industry case studies. The programme is designed to provide both strategic insight and practical application, addressing not only the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, but also the governance, regulatory and ethical frameworks required to scale it responsibly.
From Al-related societal risks, cybersecurity and criminal misuse, to regulation, innovation enablement and enterprise adoption, TechFest 2026 offers a balanced, forward looking agenda. Attendees will hear from leading voices across technology, academia, law enforcement, cybersecurity and government, alongside organisations already deploying Al solutions in live environments.
