Where Media Professionals Meet to Discuss the Future of AI in New Media
Media Futures Exchange 2026 is an industry gathering designed for professionals across journalism, publishing, broadcasting, digital media and technology to explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence in modern media.
Taking place in three months, the Exchange will bring together editors, producers, media strategists, product leaders, AI researchers and platform innovators for two days of structured conversations, networking and collaborative discussions about the future of storytelling, audience engagement and media business models.

Participants will engage in moderated roundtables, salon-style discussions and networking sessions intended to encourage thoughtful debate about the opportunities and challenges created by AI.
