Overview
About this event
SuperAI is Asia's largest AI conference, now in its third year. It took place at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on June 10 and 11, 2026, as the anchor event of Singapore AI Week, which ran June 8 to 14.
The conference is built around Singapore's position as a neutral intersection of US, Chinese, European and Asian AI development. As export controls tighten and sovereign AI strategies accelerate globally, Singapore is one of the few locations that can bring the full global AI stack into the same room.
The event spanned six areas: robotics and embodied AI, frontier models, AI infrastructure, biotech and healthtech, finance, and AI's broader global impact.
What Usually Happens at SuperAI?
SuperAI runs across two main conference days with keynotes, panels and exhibition sessions across three stages: the Plaud Main Stage, the WEKA Stage and The Forum. The format also includes a startup competition, a coding hackathon, investor hour matchmaking, and side events throughout Singapore AI Week.
