AIPIA — Italian AI Professionals Association
Events

Where AI practitioners meet, work, and decide together

AIPIA events are practitioner-led and policy-aware. We bring together engineers, researchers, regulators, and decision-makers in formats designed for honest exchange and concrete output — conferences, workshops, working groups, and international missions.

Why our events are different

Built for output, not optics

The AI conference circuit is saturated. AIPIA designs events on the opposite premise: fewer events, smaller rooms, sharper agendas. Every session has an explicit objective — a guidance document, a working-group decision, a peer-review outcome, a member briefing. Speakers are practitioners who ship and advise, not professional keynoters.

For international members, AIPIA events are a curated access point to the European AI ecosystem. Delegates meet European Commission staff, AI Office representatives, regulators, academic researchers, and operating practitioners they would otherwise struggle to reach. International missions reciprocate: AIPIA delegations to Boston, London, Dubai, and Brussels bring Italian and European expertise to partner hubs.

All events apply the AIPIA Code of Ethics to discussion content and participant conduct. Working-group output is peer-reviewed before publication.

Formats

Six event formats, one operating standard

International conferences

Annual flagship event gathering AIPIA members, European Commission representatives, partner universities, and international practitioners. Talks, panels, working sessions, and bilateral meetings. Recent editions in Rome and Milan with satellite sessions in Boston.

Sectoral workshops

Half-day or full-day events focused on a single sector — healthcare AI, financial services AI, manufacturing AI, public-sector AI. Closed Chatham House format for honest exchange of operational issues.

Working-group meetings

Regular sessions of the AIPIA working groups: AI Act compliance, ethical review, training curriculum, generative AI in enterprise. Output: open-access guidance documents and member briefings.

Member-only briefings

When the European Commission, Italian authorities, the EDPB, or the European AI Office publish guidance, AIPIA runs a member briefing within ten working days summarising operational implications.

International missions

Delegations to Boston (MIT, Harvard, MassRobotics), Dubai (UAE National AI Strategy events), Brussels (Commission and Parliament), and Latin American partner cities. Open to corporate members and qualifying individual members.

Local meet-ups

Informal gatherings at AIPIA hubs in Talent Garden campuses across Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Naples, and other Italian cities. Free, open to members and prospective members alike.
