Regional rate — 50% reduction for online attendance

Participants based in India, in any country in Africa, or in any other lower- or middle-income economy may claim a 50% reduction when attending online, on the online delegate rate and the online presenter rate. In-person attendance is at the standard rates for everyone. This is a published entitlement, not a negotiated discount: the same reduction is available to everyone who qualifies, whether or not they think to ask.

With the reduction applied, the online delegate rate is USD $275 early bird and USD $325 thereafter, and the online presenter rate is USD $245.

To claim it, email info@abiedu.com with your country of residence and institution before paying. The rate applies to participants resident in India, in any African country, or in any economy classified by the World Bank as low-, lower-middle- or upper-middle-income — which includes, among others, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. It follows your country of residence, whatever your nationality. If you are unsure whether you qualify, simply ask. The reduction does not affect peer review in any way: acceptance is decided before payment arises, and what you pay plays no part in it.

⏰ Registration does not guarantee acceptance or publication. All submissions are evaluated through the stated peer-review process. Registration payment is required only at the appropriate stage described in the registration policy. Early-bird pricing ends February 1, 2027. From February 2, 2027, the standard registration is USD $690 and the delegate rate is USD $650. In-person seats are capped by venue capacity. Refunds are available on a tiered schedule — see our Refund Policy.

By completing registration and payment you confirm that you have read and agree to the AIIC 2027 Registration Policy and the full Terms & Conditions (Compliance & Legal), including the refund and cancellation policy.

Policies & Terms

AIIC 2027 Registration Policy

Co-Author Registration (Max. 2 per Paper)

A maximum of two individuals may register per accepted research work — either two authors of the same paper, or one author and one accompanying participant. Registration fees are charged per person, not per paper: each registrant must pay the full applicable registration fee individually, and the fee is the same for everyone regardless of how many people register for a paper.

Eligibility:

  • Two authors of the same accepted paper; or
  • One registered author and one accompanying participant.

Conditions:

  • The registration is non-transferable and may not be assigned to a third party.
  • The names provided during registration are final and cannot be changed after registration is completed.
  • No cancellations, substitutions, or refunds are permitted under the Co-Author Registration (Max. 2 per Paper) option.
  • If the presenting author is unable to attend, another listed co-author may present the paper. If neither registered individual attends, the paper may be withdrawn from the programme. Group & Institutional Registration (10 participants) payments are likewise non-refundable: if any or all group members do not attend, no refund or credit is issued for unused places.

Registration Policy

  • All individuals wishing to attend the conference — whether presenting a paper, speaking, or attending only — are required to pay the applicable registration fee. This applies to all speakers and presenters: speaking at AIIC 2027 requires a completed, paid registration at the standard rate of USD $590, and the Conference does not pay speaker fees or honorariums unless expressly agreed in writing by the Organizer.
  • Registration fees are refundable on a tiered schedule (100% minus a USD $100 admin fee more than 4 months before the conference, 75% within 3 to 4 months, 50% within 2 to 3 months, no refund within 2 months) — see the Refund and Cancellation Policy below.
  • Only registered authors will have their papers included in the final conference programme and proceedings.
  • At least one author of each accepted paper must complete registration by the author registration deadline.
  • Participants who are not presenting a paper may register as attendees and will have access to keynote sessions, technical sessions, workshops, networking events, and conference activities.

Any applicable taxes or payment processing charges will be displayed during checkout.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

  • More than 4 months (120 days) before the conference: 100% refund, less a USD $100 administrative fee.
  • 3 to 4 months before the conference: 75% refund.
  • 2 to 3 months before the conference: 50% refund.
  • Within 2 months (60 days) of the conference: No refund.

AIIC shall not be responsible for any travel, accommodation, visa, insurance, or other expenses incurred by participants.

Programme Changes

While every effort will be made to deliver the conference as advertised, AIIC reserves the right to modify the programme, schedule, speakers, session formats, venue arrangements, or conference activities where necessary.

Any changes will be communicated through the official AIIC website and conference communications channels.

Only papers associated with a completed registration will be included in the Final Conference Programme and any conference proceedings, abstract book, or related publications.

By registering for AIIC 2027, participants agree to comply with all conference policies and terms and conditions.

Policy updates: All registration policies, fees, and programme details are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Organizer, Alphabets Business Innovation Ltd.; updates take effect upon posting to this website. In the event of an emergency — such as a pandemic, war, natural disaster, or government restrictions — the conference may be switched to a fully online format (via Zoom or a comparable platform); all registrations remain valid for the virtual event and presentations and certificates are delivered online. This summary is provided for convenience — the full terms, including refund, force majeure, limitation of liability, and governing-law provisions, are set out in our Compliance & Legal page, which prevails in the event of any inconsistency.

Yes — a maximum of two individuals may register per accepted research work: either two authors of the same paper, or one registered author and one accompanying participant. Each person pays the full applicable registration fee individually — fees are per person, not per paper. The registration is non-transferable, names are final, and no cancellations, substitutions, or refunds are permitted under this option.
Are session recordings available?
Yes. Registered attendees receive post-event access to recordings of selected sessions, so you never miss a talk even across time zones.
Are sponsorship or exhibition opportunities available?
Yes. A range of sponsorship and exhibition packages is available, including Platinum, Gold, Academic Partner, and Media Partner options. To partner with AIIC 2027, please email conference@aiinnovationconference.org.

About the Organizer

A conference built and backed by an established education and innovation company.

The International AI Innovation Conference is organized, operated, and maintained by Alphabets Business Innovation Ltd. (ABIEdu Academy), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

Institutional independence. AIIC 2027 is independently organized and administered by Alphabets Business Innovation Ltd. Yorkville University, the University of British Columbia, University Canada West, and other institutions listed through individual participant affiliations are not organizers, sponsors, partners, or endorsers of the conference unless a formal written agreement is expressly identified.

Venue. UBC Robson Square is the rented venue for AIIC 2027. Venue rental does not constitute sponsorship, partnership, endorsement, or academic oversight by the University of British Columbia.

Role of the General Chair. Dr. Sriram Ananthan serves as General Chair through Alphabets Business Innovation Ltd. He is separately employed as a faculty member at Yorkville University and participates in the conference in his individual professional capacity. Yorkville University has no role in organizing, funding, administering or endorsing AIIC 2027.

ABIEdu Academy is dedicated to advancing knowledge, professional development, and international collaboration across education, technology, and business.

Our mission for AIIC is to create a rigorous, welcoming, and globally connected forum where researchers, educators, students, industry leaders, and innovators can share ideas, present peer-reviewed work, and shape the responsible future of artificial intelligence.

Accessibility and accommodations. If you require accessibility accommodations — mobility access, seating, captioning or interpretation for online sessions, dietary requirements, quiet space, or anything else — please write to conference@aiinnovationconference.org by 10 March 2027 so we have time to arrange them. Requests after that date are still welcome and we will do what we can. Venue access details for UBC Robson Square can be confirmed with us on request. We will tell you honestly what we can and cannot provide.

Commitment to accessibility & inclusion: AIIC is an inclusive, respectful, and harassment-free event for everyone, regardless of background, identity, or discipline. We are committed to providing an accessible experience for all participants both in person and online. If you have accessibility requirements or questions, please contact us at conference@aiinnovationconference.org and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
