AICON 2025, the world’s leading consumer AI festival, is teaming up with BeyondXpo to launch a brand new tech-meets-lifestyle showcase in Singapore. Happening from 3 to 4 October at the BeyondX Living Lab & Incubation Space (21 Keppel Road), the festival carries the theme “AI for Everyone” — making the future of technology accessible, fun, and inspiring for all. For the first time, entry to the festival is free, with VIP passes available for access to workshops and talks.
Over two days, the event will feature symposiums, workshops, showcases, and live entertainment across three immersive zones — LIVE, focused on everyday applications of AI in health, education, and mobility; WORK, highlighting enterprise, skills, and productivity through keynotes and business networking; and PLAY, where AI meets creativity, pop culture, cosplay, eSports, and the GenTube AI Film Fest.
Day one, themed AI in Business: From Hype to Real Impact, will open with a keynote by Guest of Honour Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, followed by fireside chats on AI in business, trust, and governance. Workshops by Temasek Polytechnic, Dear.AI, and Nanyang Polytechnic will run throughout the day, while the GenTube AI Film Fest kicks off with its premiere showcase. On day two, AI in Action: Creativity, Inclusion & Future Skills takes the spotlight with talks on AI in governance, media, and the creative industries, alongside workshops by Singapore Polytechnic, CreativesAtWork, and SUSS. The festival will also see hackathon awards, outdoor showcases featuring Tesla’s latest tech, cosplay competitions, and eSports battles, before closing with AI Beats x Street Eats x Digital Art Jam, where Tesla Optimus makes its debut as DJ.
“This is about turning fear of AI into knowledge,” shared Jaze Phua, Co-Founder of AICON and Creative Director at Dear.AI. “What makes AICON different is our unique blend of education and entertainment. We’re empowering people to embrace AI for smarter living.” Co-founder Dr. James Ong added: “AI literacy is a global priority — not just for technologists but for parents, educators, and leaders. Understanding AI’s role in daily life and how to govern it responsibly is the foundation for tomorrow’s world.”
General admission is free with pre-registration required, while VIP passes are priced at S$25 for a one-day pass and S$40 for a two-day pass, both including access to exclusive workshops and talks. With limited seats available, early registration is strongly encouraged.
With its mix of technology, creativity, and culture, AICON x BeyondXpo 2025 is shaping up to be more than just a conference — it’s a festival for the future.
