A.I. For Disasters + Emergencies (AIDE) Summit 2026

About the Summit

As natural disasters grow in frequency and intensity, communities across the U.S. face growing challenges with fewer resources. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to help meet this challenge by saving lives, protecting property and livelihoods, and strengthening the frontlines of emergency management.

The AIDE Summit will gather practitioners and leaders across state and local government, technology, private sector, civil society, volunteer organizations, community groups, and academia to share, learn, and commit to action to save lives.

During this one-day event hosted by AIDE, an Initiative of the Markle Foundation, in collaboration with Aspen Digital and RAND, we’re not just disseminating findings—we’re building the coalition dedicated to saving lives and protecting communities aided by trusted applications for AI guided by human values.
