On 24 June 2026, Milan hosts the seventh edition of AI CONF 2026, Italy’s first conference dedicated to artificial intelligence, launched in 2019 to bring AI topics to Italy with both Italian and international speakers. An event designed for CTOs, data scientists, builders and decision makers who want to tackle the technical and ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. IT4LIA AI Factory will be present with two interventions in the Executive track, dedicated to strategy, governance and market.
Our interventions
At 15:30, Andrea Margheri, Head of Division at the National Cybersecurity Agency, will join the panel «La governance del dato» alongside Paola Annunziata, Head of Data Protection at Generali Investments. A conversation on one of the most pressing topics for those working with AI: how to manage data in a secure, compliant and strategically effective way.
At 17:30, Sanzio Bassini, Technical Scientific Coordinator of IFAB – International Foundation Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Human Development and Senior Advisor at CINECA, will take part in the panel «AI, il sistema Italia» alongside Marco Bani, Head of Institutional Affairs of the Senate of the Republic. A conversation on Italy’s role in the European AI ecosystem: infrastructure, policies, opportunities and responsibilities.
What is IT4LIA AI Factory
IT4LIA AI Factory is Italy’s AI Factory, part of the European network of AI Factories promoted by EuroHPC JU. It provides access to European-level supercomputing infrastructure for training and inference of advanced AI models, alongside a full range of services supporting the entire AI project lifecycle: from initial advisory to data preparation, from model development and testing to training, through to matchmaking with investors, accelerators and industrial partners.
Our services are open to startups, SMEs, large companies, public administrations and research institutions looking to develop artificial intelligence solutions, with the support of a dedicated expert team and a sovereign European infrastructure.
Why AI CONF 2026 is a key event for the AI ecosystem
AI CONF is a technical and strategic conference, attended by those who build AI and those who decide how to adopt it. Being present with two interventions in the Executive track means bringing the voice of IT4LIA AI Factory — and of the European supercomputing infrastructure — into the heart of the Italian debate on artificial intelligence.
The topics of our panels — data governance and the Italian AI system — are exactly the questions that the most forward-looking organisations are asking today. And they are the questions that IT4LIA AI Factory works on every day to provide concrete answers.
