About the conference

GAIA organises a one-day conference for people interested in artificial intelligence and all things data. We aim to create an environment for learning, networking, and knowledge-sharing around these common interests among individuals, organisations, academia, and the public sector. The conference focuses on applied machine learning and real-world data science. It introduces diverse content from enthusiastic domain experts and covers what is happening within the field in Gothenburg, as many speakers have local connections.

Watch our previous conference here. The GAIA Conference 2025 is already around the corner. See you there!

We serve breakfast and lunch, so you should not bring or buy any food during the day. We also serve something sweet ("fika") during the afternoon and, of course, coffee throughout the day. After the conference, we have our AfterConference mingle, during which we serve some sparkling wine and non-alcoholic options. We include everything in the ticket price. Make sure to register any food preferences when registering your ticket. We strive to accommodate all needs, but unfortunately, the kitchen cannot handle non-medical dietary preferences such as Ketogenic or Atkins.

The Gothenburg Artificial Intelligence Alliance (GAIA) is a Swedish non-profit organisation. As such, the Swedish tax authorities (Skatteverket) exempt us from charging VAT on our tickets. Thus, the VAT is 0% on all purchases from us.

How do I get to Svenska Mässan?

Our conference venue—Svenska Mässan—is the largest congress centre in Gothenburg and conveniently located in the Gothia Towers, Mässans Gata 24, next to Korsvägen, Scandinavium, and Liseberg.

If you go by car, you can park at the Focus parking garage, from which you have an indoor walk to Svenska Mässan. The closest airport is Landvetter Airport (GOT). The 2025 GAIA Conference is located in the Congress Foyer, Congress Hall, and room H1+H2 on the northwest side of Svenska Mässan. You enter through entrance 8, next to Scandinavium, unless you come by car and park in the Focus parking garage.

How do I register for the GAIA Conference?

Will you record the GAIA Conference?

Icon meaning Expand ContentIcon meaning Collapse Content

Yes, we record our talks and post them on our YouTube channel, usually within a few weeks after the event. We want to allow you to watch all talks across the tracks and revisit the key insights from the day after the event. However, individual speakers and companies may have restrictions on what we publish, so always attend the sessions you are most interested in. We do not record our workshops.
