The 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) took place in Bremen, Germany from 15-21 August. In the second of our social media round-ups we find out about the doctoral consortium, drop into the keynotes, and look back on an action-packed week. If you missed it, you can catch our round-up part 1 here.
