HumanX is the premier AI conference built for builders and adopters turning AI strategy into real business outcomes

HumanX is the premier AI conference built for builders and adopters turning AI strategy into real business outcomes. 22-24 September 2026. RAI Amsterdam.

What is HumanX Amsterdam

Three days. The right people. The right conversations.

HumanX Amsterdam brings together Europe's AI builders and adopters for a programme that moves between keynote-scale insight and room-sized problem-solving. Days open with discussions from the most consequential voices shaping AI, then break into 100+ track sessions across five content programmes, and 50+ small group sessions built for practical, role-specific work.

This isn't a vendor showcase. Every speaker is selected on merit. No pay-to-play slots, no filler panels, no recycled content. Just the people with something real to say.

AI transformation touches every part of the business. HumanX gives every function leader the tools, the language, and the real-world examples to move from roadmap to results.

The Numbers

2,500+ attendees (60% VP and above) 200+ speakers 150+ sponsors 150+ journalists

The Programme

Five tracks. Each one built around a different part of the enterprise:

  1. Builders: How AI gets made. From model design and infrastructure to deployment at speed and scale. For Technology and Product leaders.

  2. Command Desk: How executive leaders turn AI into organisational leverage, aligning capital, governance, and ethics with opportunity. For Corporate Strategy, Legal & Compliance and Policy.

  3. Control Room: How AI transforms core operations: finance, HR, and the workflows that don't scale without it. For Finance, HR, and Business Operations.

  4. Customer Engine: How customer-facing teams use AI to engage smarter, sell faster, and deliver better service at scale. For Marketing, Customer Experience, and Sales.

  5. Ecosystem: Where founders, funders, and platform builders shape what comes next. The strategies, capital, and decisions driving the next wave of AI innovation. For Startups and Venture Capital.

A packed keynote room at HumanX, with the audience facing the main stage.

Beyond the Main Stage

  • Extended content: Deep-dive masterclasses, Startup Pitchoffs, speaker Q&As and roundtables.

  • SolutionBridge & VentureConnect: Pre-scheduled, double opt-in meetings between enterprise buyers and solution providers, and between investors and founders. In 2025: 451 buyer–vendor meetings and 361 investor–startup sessions.

  • Expo hall: Hundreds of AI solutions in one space. Turnkey booths, startup kiosks, and demo pavilions across every enterprise function.

  • Signature spaces: The Speakeasy. 1:1 Meetings. The Wellness Lounge. Happy-hour Networking. Conversation doesn't stop when the sessions do.

  • HumanX Connect: Arrive knowing who you need to meet and where with the AI-powered app and dedicated lounge. 19,378 peer connections made in 2025.

For Startups

HumanX Amsterdam is where Europe's most ambitious AI startups meet the investors, enterprise buyers, and ecosystem builders that matter.

VentureConnect delivers pre-scheduled, double opt-in meetings with investors who have asked to meet you. The Startup Exhibition puts your company in front of 2,500+ senior decision-makers. The Ecosystem Track puts founders and investors in the same room for sessions that cover what actually moves the needle: capital strategy, scaling, and the relationship between innovation and investment. Exhibiting startups can also apply to pitch on the show floor.

No cold outreach. No wasted time. Just the right conversations, structured to deliver.

Why HumanX

The best of Silicon Valley and European AI are converging in Amsterdam this September. If this is your market, this is where you need to be.

Connect with the AI tools and services that you need to know, not merely nice to know. Leave with roadmaps and practical support to get AI out of the presentation and into production.

Most conferences tell you what's possible. HumanX is built for the leaders who have to make it happen.

HumanX

HumanX Amsterdam runs from 22 to 24 September 2026 at RAI Amsterdam. Registration goes straight to the organisers.
