Hosted by The Center for Trustworthy AI,

The Brasov Forum is a 3-day conference taking place in December 2025, bringing together executive leaders, technologists doing ground-breaking work in AI, lawyers, public officials, and other luminaries as we focus on topics in Trustworthy AI. These include AI’s strategic, legal, regulatory, and ethical landscape, as well as adoption and engineering.

Session Types

Symposium Session

More traditional presentation-style session where the expert presenter will share their latest work, ideas, research, etc. in the form of slides, demonstration, or some other prepared content. These sessions showcase original, innovative, or otherwise notable work in the areas of AI engineering, adoption, legal and regulatory, ethics, or other similar topics that the presenter may put forward. They are not focused on training or basic concepts. The goal is to stimulate attendee thinking around Trustworthy AI by exposing them to new ideas.

Selection Criteria

Successful session proposals will:

Be led by a presenter whose proposal demonstrates their expert knowledge or experience

Showcase original, innovative, or otherwise notable work

Focus on a topic in AI engineering, adoption, legal and regulatory, ethics, or similar

Clearly put forward the new ideas to which attendees will be exposed

Attendance

Open to all, up to the capacity of the room.

Open Working Session

The goal of an Open Working Session is to present a challenge in some combination of AI engineering, adoption, legal and regulatory, ethics, or similar so that attendees may collaboratively discuss, ideate, design, etc. in order to produce answers, solutions, or a shared path forward. These are 2.5 to 4-hour collaborative working sessions featuring some combination of roundtable discussion, whiteboarding, design thinking, etc. Think of them as a working session that the session leader might hold with their colleagues, but in this case, the collaboration is with brilliant people from diverse backgrounds attending the Forum.

Selection Criteria

Successful session proposals will:

Be led by a presenter whose proposal demonstrates their expert knowledge or experience

Focus on a specific challenge in AI engineering, adoption, legal and regulatory, ethics, etc.

Include a proposed agenda, session length (2.5 - 4 hours), and desired outcome

Include the presenter's commitment to prepare a content "artifact" (e.g., white paper, article, slides, technical solution, etc.) that can be publicly shared. These artifacts will carry the "Center for Trustworthy AI" and "Brasov Forum" brands, clearly identify the author(s) including their role and employer if desired, identify the collaborators (those who attended the session), and be submitted to The Center no later than 28 February 2026.

Attendance

Open to all, up to the capacity of the room.

Topic Town Hall

A Topic Town Hall session is similar to a Symposium Session, but focuses on open discussion with attendees rather than the presentation of content. These sessions may take the form of a single facilitator guiding discussion on a particular topic or set of topics, or may include a panel of experts discussing 

Selection Criteria
