Oxford will host one of the UK’s most anticipated technology gatherings this month when the Oxford Generative AI Summit 2025 takes place at Jesus College on 16 to 17 October.
Hosted by OxGen AI, the two-day event will bring together more than 200 leaders from business, government, academia, and the media to explore the rapid evolution and growing societal impact of generative AI.
The Summit will be held at the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, a state-of-the-art venue within Cheng Yu Tung Building at Jesus College, University of Oxford.
The OxGen AI Summit is designed to foster multi-stakeholder dialogue on the future of AI through keynotes, panels, and fireside chats.
Over 50 distinguished speakers from the UK and around the world will share insights, including Matt Clifford CBE (Entrepreneurs First), James Manyika (Google and Alphabet), Kanishka Narayan MP (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology), Peter Hill (Synthesia), Euan Blair MBE (Multiverse), and Gina Neff (Minderoo Centre for Technology & Democracy),

The agenda will focus on two central themes: The Frontier of Generative and Agentic AI Adoption, examining how organisations can unlock value and stay ahead of developments; and Generative AI & Society, exploring how AI is transforming the way people work, learn, and create.
“As AI is increasingly integrated into our society and the economy, the OxGen AI Summit has emerged as a leading forum for leaders to share insights on how they are harnessing this technology and how it is transforming the ways we live and work,” said Cassidy Bereskin, founder of OxGen AI.
