RAISE is the brainchild of two dynamic leaders, Henri Delahaye and Hadrien de Cournon, whose combined expertise and passion for innovation have shaped the summit into a world-class platform. Together, Henri and Hadrien have built RAISE into a summit that bridges the gap between innovation and implementation, drawing on Chain of Events’ proven track record to deliver an unparalleled experience.

About Us

The RAISE Summit was born from a vision to unite the world’s most influential minds in artificial intelligence (AI) and create a platform where innovation meets action.

Conceived by Chain of Events, the organisation behind the acclaimed Paris Blockchain Week, RAISE emerged in response to the rise of AI as the defining technology of our time. After years of hosting successful events focused on blockchain and emerging tech, Chain of Events and its co-founders recognised the need for a dedicated, international, agnostic, and premium B2B conference that could both explore AI’s transformative power and spark real business opportunities.

Launched in 2023, RAISE is a cross-industry summit that brings together visionary builders, tech giants, regulators, and political leaders.

“What began as an idea has grown into an exclusive annual event that redefines how the global AI community connects, collaborates, and creates.” 

From startup competitions and hackathons to keynote speeches and high-level panels, RAISE is where the AI ecosystem comes alive.

Join us at the RAISE Summit and be part of the movement shaping the destiny of humanity through artificial intelligence.
