HumanX, the premier AI strategy summit, is expanding to Europe with the announcement of HumanX EMEA, set for September 22-24, 2026, at The RAI in Amsterdam, bringing global AI insights to the region's thriving ecosystem.
HumanX, established as the leading ecosystem for enterprise AI strategy, implementation, and cross-sector collaboration in the United States, is now extending its proven platform to Europe amid historic momentum in the region's AI landscape. This expansion follows rapid growth in the U.S., where the next event anticipates over 6,000 attendees, 350 speakers, 400 vendors, and more than 300 media from around the world. HumanX EMEA aims to unite Europe's AI community with global leaders, emphasizing responsible and high-impact AI adoption tailored to European strengths.
The event will gather 2,500+ senior practitioners, partners, and 200+ media, alongside speakers from the U.S., Asia, and Europe, to foster solutions, partnerships, and action. “Europe is at a pivotal moment in AI, and it deserves a world-class platform that reflects its growing influence in shaping the future of artificial intelligence,” said Stefan Weitz, CEO of HumanX. “European companies are incredibly innovative, but they need access to the same caliber of strategic insights and proven playbooks that are accelerating AI adoption globally. HumanX is built to meet this moment: a platform for solutions, partnerships, and action that helps leaders cut through barriers, align global momentum with European strengths, and drive AI forward in a way that’s responsible, ambitious, and uniquely European.”
HumanX EMEA announces its first 50 speakers, highlighting executives from over 15 unicorns including Quantexa, Owkin, and Decagon, as well as leading venture capital firms such as Lightspeed, Renegade Partners, and Radical Ventures. Notable figures include Clay Bavor, Co-founder at Sierra and former Google AR/VR leader; May Habib, co-founder & CEO at Writer; and Douwe Kiela, Co-founder & CEO of Contextual. This diverse lineup underscores the event's commitment to actionable insights and innovation in AI strategy.
Amsterdam serves as the ideal European hub due to its position as a gateway between Europe, the Middle East, and global markets, bolstered by the Netherlands' progressive AI governance and multilingual tech infrastructure. "We welcome HumanX and its global community to The Netherlands. Hosting the EMEA event in Amsterdam will facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and help our ecosystem to connect and thrive in this fast-changing field," said Constantijn van Oranje, special envoy of Techleap, which has become an event supporter. “We are thrilled to welcome HumanX to Amsterdam, a city that thrives on creativity and connection. Artificial Intelligence is not just a technology; it is a force that will shape how we live, work, and solve global challenges,” said Maurits van der Sluis, Member of the Board RAI Amsterdam. “By bringing the world’s AI community together, HumanX helps unlock new ideas and inspires collaboration that can drive a better future for Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and beyond.”
In preparation, HumanX will host various events, dinners, and gatherings across Europe to build community. Registration for HumanX EMEA 2026 opens in early 2026, with ongoing announcements for additional speakers and partners.
