ALL IN at the Palais des congrès de Montréal: the third edition of the largest AI event in Canada

MONTRÉAL, Sept. 24, 2025 /CNW/ - The Palais des congrès de Montréal is hosting the third edition of ALL IN, the largest artificial intelligence event in Canada, on September 24 and 25. The brainchild of Scale AI, Canada's AI Global Innovation Cluster, the event has quickly become a first-class international showcase for Montréal, attracting major players in the global AI ecosystem to the metropolis.

Since the first edition at the Palais des congrès de Montréal in 2023, ALL IN has experienced phenomenal growth: 2,300 participants the first year, 4,000 in 2024, and an anticipated 6,000 participants from more than 40 countries this year. Among them, leading AI service and product providers, investors from here and beyond, renowned researchers, data scientists, members of the business community and Canada's top 100 AI start-ups.

Each year, through ALL IN, Montréal is increasingly asserting its status as a Canadian artificial intelligence hub on the world stage. The metropolis stands out not only for its excellence in basic research, but also for its capacity to transform this knowledge into concrete solutions. By promoting projects, talent and organizations from here that are shaping an AI-powered economy, ALL IN's ambition is clear: enhance Canadian expertise in applied AI and affirm Montréal and Canada's leadership as key AI players on the global scene.

Since the inaugural edition in 2023, the ALL IN and Palais teams have been working hand in hand to push the boundaries of event management. Each year, this collaboration paves the way for transforming the Palais's spaces and bringing to life original immersive experiences, highlighting ALL IN's creativity and the Palais' versatility. Thematic pavilions, demonstration areas and a studio to record podcasts in front of a live audience are just a few examples of the various spaces that make up the ALL IN "village" in the heart of the Palais. And as further evidence of this fruitful dynamic, another edition has already been confirmed for 2026 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.

An event that pushes the boundaries

For the 2025 edition, ALL IN is bringing together more than 200 speakers and offering a varied program of panels, workshops and immersive experiences around major issues related to AI. The event assembles Canada's entire AI ecosystem, from ocean to ocean, to support its growth and affirm its role on the international stage.

Representatives from all three levels of government—municipal, provincial and federal—will participate in a series of strategic activities at the event, testifying to a concerted commitment and further enriching this edition and strengthening Montréal's place at the centre of international discussions on the future of AI.
