Registration has opened for the ETSI AI and Data Conference 2026, set for 09–11 February 2026 in Sophia Antipolis, France, in what analysts now describe as a significant moment for global standardisation around artificial intelligence and data governance, areas increasingly critical for African markets positioning themselves inside emerging technology value chains, reports ITREALMS.
The event, which is free but requires mandatory registration due to limited seats, will gather industry leaders and standards bodies shaping how AI systems are built, governed and deployed. ETSI will spotlight areas ranging from semantic data models to agentic AI architectures, reflecting both regulatory urgency and commercial interest as adoption accelerates.
