Finding the right AI event in the Nordics can feel overwhelming. You could spend months tracking down the perfect conference for your specific niche.
I often look at several Nordic AI news websites, to see what events are up and coming. However, it is very rare that you get a full list of the hottest events that are expected in Scandinavia and the Nordics.
With no further due, I've put together this list together on my own. Here are eight Nordic AI events I would shortlist for 2027. Each one serves a unique professional purpose.
1. Digital Scholarship Days 2027
5-8 JANUARY 2027 | OSLO, NORWAY
Start the year at the University of Oslo if your work intersects with digital methods and research data. This event covers generative AI and machine learning in an academic context.
I would attend if you need to understand how open research is evolving alongside new AI tools.
2. Northern Lights Deep Learning Conference (NLDL) 2027
11-15 JANUARY 2027 | TROMSØ, NORWAY
Tromsø is the ultimate destination for deep learning specialists. NLDL combines rigorous scientific presentations with an industry event and a dedicated winter school.
I would bring your hardest computer vision or NLP problems here. The tutorials led by deep-learning experts offer a great chance to troubleshoot your models.
3. AI-dagarna på Örebro universitet 2027
9-11 FEBRUARY 2027 | ÖREBRO, SWEDEN
Choose Örebro when your AI initiatives overlap with robotics and cybersecurity. This three-day university event dives into how these fields intersect in practice.
I would use this gathering to ask how researchers are securing autonomous systems against emerging threats.
4. Nordics Identity Impact Day 2027
9 FEBRUARY 2027 | GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN
Identity and access management is changing rapidly thanks to AI. This practitioner event focuses heavily on AI governance and securing machine identities.
I would attend if your team is struggling to manage permissions for autonomous agents. Bringing a specific security use case will help you get actionable advice.
5. KI-Dagen 2027
10 FEBRUARY 2027 | OSLO, NORWAY
KI-Dagen is a highly specialized conference for the real-estate brokerage industry. It explores the direct, practical applications of AI in property markets.
I would look for ways AI can streamline property evaluations and client interactions. If you are also curious about the broader property sector, my hotel technology events guide offers complementary insights.
6. DHNB 2027: Human(ities) in the Loop
1-5 MARCH 2027 | UMEÅ, SWEDEN
This interdisciplinary conference examines the crucial role of the humanities in understanding AI technologies. It is the perfect place to discuss human-AI collaboration.
I would bring questions about ethics, bias, and how humans interact with large language models in daily workflows.
7. Stora AI-dagen 2027
16 MARCH 2027 | STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
Stora AI-dagen is a professional forum focused on community building and sustainable AI solutions. It highlights how technology can drive large-scale societal improvements.
I would use this event to network with public sector leaders and sustainability experts. If your work involves public infrastructure, check out my transport analytics events guide as well.
8. AI in AEC 2027
17-18 MARCH 2027 | HELSINKI, FINLAND & HYBRID
Finish your Nordic tour in Helsinki to explore AI in the built environment. This hybrid conference targets the construction and real-estate sectors.
I would attend to learn how generative AI is transforming architectural design and project management. Prepare to ask exhibitors how their tools handle complex compliance codes.
Where I would start in your shoes
If you are a PhD student looking for deep technical immersion, I would head straight to NLDL in Tromsø. Practitioners focused on security and governance should prioritize Nordics Identity Impact Day in Gothenburg.
For professionals in construction and property, KI-Dagen and AI in AEC offer targeted, industry-specific insights. Senior engineers managing infrastructure should consider AI-dagarna for its focus on robotics and cybersecurity.
Before booking flights, decide what specific problem your team needs to solve this year. I would pick the one event that directly answers your most pressing question.
