July is not usually associated with packed auditoriums and high-energy product demos, but in the tech world, things rarely slow down—especially in 2025. From coast-to-coast conferences in the United States to thoughtful webinars hosted across Europe, this month offers a surprising number of opportunities to dive into innovation, policy, and real-world AI deployment.
So whether you are in Europe, New York, or simply tuning in from home, here is where attention is turning in the tech world this July.
A two-day tech burst in Brooklyn
New York is set to host one of the most high-profile gatherings this summer. TECHSPO New York 2025, taking place on 7 and 8 July at the Brooklyn Bridge Hotel, promises more than just the usual trade show atmosphere. With a strong focus on Internet tech, mobile platforms, SaaS, and advertising tools, it offers a chance to see what is gaining traction in product design and digital strategy.
It is not just about wandering exhibition halls either. The event runs in parallel with DigiMarCon East, creating a crossover space where marketers, technologists, and creators can engage in both practical demos and strategic conversations. If you are working in digital transformation or running a startup looking for your next toolset, this is one worth circling on the calendar.
San Jose puts enterprise AI in focus
Later in the month, from 15 to 16 July, Momentum AI San Jose 2025 takes the stage. Hosted by Reuters Events, this conference is less about prototypes and more about applied artificial intelligence—specifically, how some of the world’s largest companies are using AI to run smarter operations and build better services.
Enterprise leaders, data scientists, and policy experts will converge to discuss what it really takes to scale AI across departments. Topics range from automation and internal tooling to ethics, compliance, and building trust within and beyond the organisation.
There is a certain practicality to Momentum AI. It is not a vision-board event—it is designed for people to make decisions in real-time. If you are involved in deploying or governing AI at scale, this one might feel more like a workshop than a spectacle—and that is its strength.
Learning without travelling: July’s best online events
Of course, not everyone has the time (or budget) to hop between hotel lobbies and conference stages. Thankfully, a handful of standout virtual events this month offer depth, substance, and a change of pace.
Open Science with the 4EU+ Alliance: A series of sessions exploring open-access research, collaboration across institutions, and the evolving role of transparency in academia.
Sprinto’s Compliance Series: With risk and regulatory frameworks becoming more complex, this webinar collection helps break down standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. It also brings in highlights from the ISACA GRC Conference for those managing audits or security posture.
AI Weather Quest by ECMWF: An intriguing blend of meteorology and AI, these sessions help participants prepare for ECMWF’s machine learning challenge on forecasting and climate modelling.
Education beyond borders: A live webinar by futuredoctor offers a guide for students considering medical studies abroad—a niche but timely session as application deadlines approach.
UNESCO and the power of books: The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning is hosting a conversation titled “Reading behind bars in Cambodia”, reflecting on the role of literature in prison education programmes.
This July may not bring the splashy headline events of spring, but it offers something more useful: focused gatherings, practical insights, and space to think about how technology is actually being used—and where it might be going next. Whether you are attending in person or joining from your desk, the calendar is full of chances to engage, question, and perhaps even pivot your approach to tech.
