Welcome to GEN-AI: Global Conference on Next Generation Artificial Intelligence – Applications, Impact, and Innovations.

4 – 5 August 2025, Bolton. Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
(Hybrid Conference)

About the Conference

In recent years, the rapid evolution of emerging technologies has been profoundly influenced by the growing global population, particularly in urban centres. This demographic shift has catalysed research and innovation, giving rise to the concept of the smart city—a synthesis of urbanization and the digital revolution. Modern cities are increasingly integrated with information and communication technologies, which serve as essential tools for enhancing urban decision-making and functionality.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become vital components across multiple sectors, including agriculture, industry, and healthcare. The potential applications of these technologies are vast, yet their adoption in developing nations remains nascent. Following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, these countries are now under pressure to implement innovative solutions that address sustainable development challenges.

The GEN-AI conference will also spotlight interdisciplinary research, akin to the mission of the Centre of Intelligence of Things (CIoTh) at the University of Bolton, United Kingdom. Our goal is to advance the frontier of AI in conjunction with related domains such as big data, network security, robotics, and medical applications. By fostering collaboration among experts from diverse fields, we aim to explore and push the boundaries of intelligent AI for the benefit of society.

Join us for this exciting event on 4 – 5 August 2025 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (Hybrid Conference). This gathering will unite visionary scientists, professors, researchers, students, and industry leaders in the fields of Computing and Communication, creating a dynamic platform for dialogue and discovery. Join us on this exciting journey where knowledge meets innovation!
