Executive Overview
Please join us at the August DSV Fund AI Dinner on the 25th August 2026 in London. This August, we're doing something a little different. With the support of our headline sponsor DSV Fund, we're handing the stage over to members of the AI Dinner community for an evening of short, fast-paced talks showcasing how AI is being used, built and thought about right now. Our speakers will share real-world experiences, ideas and experiments covering everything from AI-powered software development and the emergence of “dark factories”, to building an AI foundry and why the human edge could become even more important in the age of AI. Expect practical insights, provocative ideas and plenty of conversation - delivered by people actively exploring what AI means for their businesses, their industries and the future. Multiple speakers. One evening. A showcase of what the AI Dinner community is thinking, building and doing with AI right now. We're delighted to welcome DSV Fund as our headline sponsor for the August AI Dinner, helping us bring together founders, entrepreneurs and AI innovators to share ideas, make connections and explore what's coming next.
