Delhi’s premier tech spectacle, India AI Expo Summit 2026, tweaks timings for optimal impact. General admission halts February 19 during PM Narendra Modi’s keynote, with doors reopening through an extra day on February 21. IT Secretary S Krishnan confirmed this amid high excitement.
Hosting 20 heads of state including Emmanuel Macron, the VIP-heavy inauguration requires stringent security, prompting the public blackout. Krishnan emphasized avoiding disruptions: ‘We’re extending to Saturday, February 21, so everyone can experience the innovations.’
The expo’s draw—fueled by AI trailblazers—necessitated the stretch. Across 70,000 square meters and 10 arenas, it integrates global players: corporations, startups, researchers, governments, and 13-nation pavilions (Australia, Japan, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Serbia, Estonia, Tajikistan, African reps).
This gathering spotlights AI’s frontiers, from machine learning marvels to ethical frameworks. It promises dynamic exchanges driving India’s digital leap. The schedule shift underscores commitment to safety while amplifying outreach, ensuring the AI revolution reaches far and wide.
