As organizations race to operationalize AI, HumanX 2026 is positioning itself as the must-attend gathering for leaders focused on practical, scalable, and return-driven adoption. Often referred to as the #1 AI conference, HumanX has become the most talked-about global AI event, featuring 6,500+ attendees (60% VP level and above), 350+ speakers, 400+ sponsors, and journalists from around the world. The world’s most impactful stage is now preparing for its April gathering—where real-world agentic AI takes center stage.

The event’s HumanX Promise reflects this mission: every attendee should leave better equipped to lead in the age of AI. Through keynotes, workshops, case studies, and hands-on ROI labs, participants will learn directly from global AI leaders who are building and deploying systems in production environments today. Speaker selection is deeply curated, with no pay-to-play, ensuring every voice on stage is chosen for insight, expertise, and the ability to instill confidence in attendees’ AI strategies.

HumanX also emphasizes meaningful connection through programs like SolutionBridge, VentureConnect, and Peer [X]change—purpose-built spaces where the right people meet with intent, whether to explore partnerships, secure investment, or exchange best practices in deploying intelligent systems.

AiNews will also participate, with Alicia Shapiro, CMO & Head of News Reporting, moderating select conversations and connecting with attendees throughout the event. If you plan to be there, Alicia would love to meet fellow readers, founders, and enterprise leaders exploring the next chapter of intelligent workflows.

Designed as a working conference—not just a listening experience—HumanX 2026 aims to give leaders the clarity, relationships, and execution pathways needed to bring agentic AI initiatives to life.

HumanX positions itself as the C-Suite’s AI strategy and value realization partner. Its programming is built to guide entire leadership teams—from vision to execution—across content-rich sessions, immersive labs, and partner-led solutioning tracks. Rather than focusing on isolated roles, HumanX emphasizes unified leadership alignment, enabling companies to advance AI initiatives as cohesive teams.

Most AI events are heavily technical, leaving crucial decision-makers—such as CFOs, CMOs, COOs, and CHROs—without the context needed to lead AI transformation.
HumanX addresses this gap by providing role-specific learning pathways that elevate AI fluency across every member of the executive team. This approach ensures organizations gain the institutional knowledge needed to operationalize AI effectively.

Non-technical leaders often struggle to quantify AI initiatives in tangible business terms.
HumanX’s hands-on ROI modeling workshops and immersive labs—many delivered as part of Peer [X]change—equip executives to tie AI investments to real outcomes. The result is an environment focused on value realization, not abstract exploration.

AI initiatives stall when C-Suite teams remain siloed.
HumanX bridges this divide with AI Strategy Clinics, developed in partnership with organizations such as Section and Mindstone, that guide multi-role teams to build, refine, and align their AI strategies. These sessions help leadership teams move from fragmented approaches to integrated, enterprise-wide plans.

Typical tech conferences offer generic networking experiences that rarely meet the needs of senior business leaders.
HumanX solves this through its structured Peer [X]change program, which enables role-specific, high-trust conversations—CFOs with CFOs, CMOs with CMOs, CHROs with CHROs. These interactions are designed for relevance, depth, and strategic relationship building.

While many conferences focus on AI trends and visionary ideas, HumanX emphasizes how to execute.
Through partner-led workshops and practical solutioning sessions, attendees leave with roadmaps and execution frameworks they can put into practice immediately when returning to their organizations.

HumanX 2026 takes place April 6–9 at Moscone Center South in San Francisco.
