Turkey AI Summit on Nov 11-12: 'Agents Among Us'

The Turkey AI Initiative (TRAI) has announced the ninth edition of the Turkey AI Summit for November 11 and 12, 2026. This year's theme is "Agents Among Us" (Ajanlar Aramızda). Day one, on November 11, is in person at the Wyndham Grand Istanbul Levent; day two, on November 12, is online.

How the programme is built

According to TRAI's announcement, November 11 has three parallel stages:

• Vision Stage: global developments and strategic outlook.
• Impact Stage: sector applications, business results and transformation stories.
• Innovation Stage: startups, new products and technologies.

Over the two days there will be more than 65 sessions and more than 110 speakers. More than 2,000 attendees from over 420 organisations are expected on the first day. Companies and startups will run booths in the foyer, and the results of TRAI's 2026 AI Survey will be shared at the summit. The November 12 programme combines international sessions with training and practice-focused content; the announcement describes it as "online and free".

Why the agents theme stands out

The announcement describes agents as AI systems that can break tasks into steps, use different tools and track processes. Which work can be handed to agents, how human oversight is set up, and questions of security and accountability are at the centre of the programme. That fits the picture in TRAI's October startup map, where agentic AI was the most crowded category among newly added startups.

If you are thinking of attending

The full programme and registration are on the summit's official site. The announcement text does not list speaker names or a ticket price. Some event calendar sites show different dates; the official announcement and the summit site both say November 11-12.
