Get involved

GAIA is run by volunteers and decided by its members. You can take part as a member, who votes at the annual meeting; as a volunteer, who helps run the conference and the meetups; or as a partner of the conference.

    How to become a partner

Membership

Together, our members are GAIA. As a member, you vote at the annual meeting, which elects the board and decides how GAIA is run. The membership fee, set by the annual meeting, is 50 SEK. A membership lasts until the next annual meeting, after which everyone joins again. Our statutes (PDF) require members to register with their name, Swedish personal identity number, and email address, so you need a Swedish personal identity number to join. Our privacy policy says who may see these details.

To join, fill in the membership form.

Partnerships

The conference depends on its partners. As a partner, you meet the people who build AI in Gothenburg and beyond: practitioners and students in machine learning, data science, and data engineering, mostly from the Gothenburg region, along with business people and visitors from across Sweden and abroad. In 2026, 70% of attendees worked as practitioners. Every conference so far has sold out.

At the conference, partners meet attendees in the exhibition area, where we serve all meals and coffee. Our meetups are typically hosted by one or two partners, who offer talks and a venue. Past partners include Recorded Future, AstraZeneca, Zenseact, Saab, Ericsson, and Skatteverket.

On 27 April 2027, we return to the Congress Hall at Svenska Mässan, with room for 1,400 attendees across three tracks. Besides a booth, partners can host the barista station or the After Conference.

The tiers, their prices, and the terms are in GAIA Partnership Information 2027 (PDF). To talk about a partnership, write to us through the partner form.
