Remington Technology has confirmed its Platinum Sponsorship of the 2026 AI Summit, hosted by International Training Institute (ITI), Papua New Guinea’s largest private training institution. The Summit will take place on 6 March 2026 at the Stanley Hotel, Port Moresby, and is expected to attract more than 300 participants from across government, education, business and the technology sector.
Returning for its second year following a successful inaugural event in 2025, the AI Summit is hosted by ITI, an institution recognised by the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST) and now in its 27th year of operation. The Summit aims to strengthen understanding of artificial intelligence and highlight its practical value within the Papua New Guinean context.
ITI Chairman and Co-Founder Senthil Kumaran said the Summit was created to respond to growing interest in AI while addressing widespread misunderstanding around the topic.
“AI is widely talked about, both positively and negatively, but many people don’t really understand what it is or how it can be useful,” Mr Kumaran said.
“This event brings together experts, industry leaders and learners to openly discuss AI, share experiences, and help PNG adapt in a positive and practical way.”
The 2026 program will focus on four key areas: AI in healthcare, ethics and governance, generative AI, and AI in higher education. The Summit will also feature practical demonstrations and an expo, where organisations will showcase AI-related products, services and real-world applications relevant to Papua New Guinea.
Remington Group CEO Justin Kieseker said Remington Technology’s continued support of the Summit reflects the growing importance of artificial intelligence across the technology sector.
“We were involved in the Summit last year and saw the strong interest around this topic,” Mr Kieseker said.
“AI is becoming increasingly important in the systems and technologies we work with, and over the next five years its impact will be even more significant.”
Remington Technology has partnered with ITI for more than 12 years, supporting its production printing operations in Port Moresby and Lae. According to Mr Kieseker, backing the AI Summit aligns naturally with Remington Technology’s role as a technology leader in Papua New Guinea.
“We want to support initiatives that build capability, encourage learning, and prepare the next generation of graduates,” he said.
“The workforce of the future will look very different, and we want to play our part in supporting PNG’s people and positive national development through technology.”
Remington Technology looks forward to contributing once again to the national conversation around how artificial intelligence is understood, applied and adopted in Papua New Guinea.
