The upcoming Digital Transformation Kuwait conference will convene on 9 and 10 November 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Kuwait. Organised under the theme of designing an intelligent future, the two-day event gathers government officials and technology leaders to discuss national digital strategies.

Sheikh Mohammed Ahmed Al Sabah, Honorary President of the event and Chairman of the Association of Artificial Intelligence of Things, will deliver the opening keynote address. In addition, the sessions will explore secure connectivity, data centres, and cloud computing networks.
Discussions will also focus on integrating modern tools into banking, healthcare, education, and transport. Industry specialists will evaluate connected mobility, utility upgrades, and smart municipal planning. Consequently, participants will assess how automated systems can support long-term economic diversification goals.

Security and Digital Trust Priorities
Data governance and digital identity form crucial parts of the event agenda. Officials plan to examine methods to protect national systems through stronger cybersecurity standards. Furthermore, industry experts will review strategies for maintaining institutional trust across shared government databases.
Municipal authorities will review methods to deploy data-driven urban planning. Modern monitoring networks and smart city platforms will receive detailed attention during infrastructure sessions. Therefore, public agencies can coordinate operational responses across municipal utility grids.
