Swiss AI Safety Days 2026 returns to ETH Zurich with 300+ participants

Swiss AI Safety Days 2026, the next chapter of the Zurich AI Safety Day, will take place on November 7-8 at ETH Zurich. The inaugural 2025 event was named Best Event in Swiss AI Weeks and drew 200+ participants from 20+ organizations including UK AISI, Apollo Research, FAR.AI, and Palisade Research. Attendees rated it 4.6/5, and 80% left with concrete next steps for their AI safety careers. This year’s ambition is significantly higher: two full days, 300+ participants, 30+ organizations, and an expanded program covering technical research, governance, field-building, and career development. Organizers have invested in more networking sessions and career conversations—the top-rated elements from 2025. They also increased planning capacity to deliver a more structured experience.

The event targets professionals looking to expand their network, gain insights from leading AI safety experts, and find their next career move. Confirmed speakers and participating organizations are listed on the event’s website. Attendees can RSVP on Luma to stay updated when registrations open. The event builds on the success of the 2025 edition, which helped establish a replicable format for AI safety conferences across Europe. With growing interest in AI alignment and governance, Swiss AI Safety Days 2026 positions itself as a critical gathering for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to shape the future of safe AI development.
