How to Get Involved

 

Partners

 

The AI CityXchange content hub and workshops are enabled by the support of our partners, who you can find out more about here. Throughout our partner network are city governments and local authorities, technology innovators, plus NGOs and industry experts who help shape our content and workshops. We’re proud to work on the AI CityXchange with Microsoft as a strategic partner at launch, as well as Bentley Systems as a content partner. The AI CityXchange workshops are not possible without the help of our first city workshop partners, Sunderland City Council and Smart Dublin, who will co-host these events with the SmartCitiesWorld team, and help shape conversations that will carve a path forward for other cities.

Events and workshops

 

AI CityXchange also extends beyond content. It is a platform for collaboration, dialogue, and shared learning through a programme of in-person and virtual events, workshops, and city-led exchanges. These Xchange sessions are hosted in partnership with cities around the world and are designed to be practical, peer-driven, and rooted in real challenges. There are already two standalone workshops taking place this year in Sunderland (March) and Dublin (September), plus as part of the SmartCitiesWorld Summit (London) and Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona (November) setting the tone for a global series that brings city practitioners, policymakers, and partners together to explore AI in action.

 

Whether you are exploring AI for the first time, refining governance frameworks, or scaling mature deployments across your city, AI CityXchange is designed to support every step of the journey – connecting insight, experience, and collaboration in one place.
