The Great Digital for Good conference returns in 2026 with a focus on 'AI realities: the good, the bad, and the ugly of AI as it's used today'. This cross-sector event brings together digital teams from purpose-driven organisations to explore artificial intelligence from multiple angles—through the eyes of enthusiasts, sceptics, and practitioners working with AI in the real world.
The conference features a mix of talks and interactive workshops designed to deliver practical value. Key sessions include explorations of the digital trust crisis and AI-generated misinformation, real-world stories from designers, developers, and leaders about how AI has already changed their work, hidden workloads in AI projects, and strategies for maintaining the human touch when AI isn't the answer. There's also a workshop on AI capability gaps, a session on designing effectively in an AI-first world, an unconference stream chosen by attendees, and insights into cybersecurity in the age of AI-powered threats. An unconference session and social outing to a pub round out the day.
