HumanX, the world’s leading enterprise AI event series, is officially coming to Europe. The inaugural HumanX EMEA will take place September 22–24, 2026, at The RAI in Amsterdam, marking a major milestone for the region’s AI ecosystem.
Founded by the team behind Money20/20, Shoptalk, and HLTH, HumanX has established itself in the U.S. as a premier platform for AI strategy, implementation, and cross-sector collaboration. Its U.S. edition attracts over 6,000 attendees, 350 speakers, and 400 vendors, drawing more than 300 media from across the globe. The European launch aims to replicate this impact while tailoring content to the continent’s unique AI landscape.
Connecting Europe to the Global AI Ecosystem
HumanX EMEA is designed to bring together 2,500+ senior AI practitioners, partners, and 200+ media members, featuring speakers from the U.S., Asia, and Europe. The event emphasizes responsible, high-impact AI adoption, acting as a bridge between Europe’s burgeoning AI community and global innovation leaders.
“Europe is at a pivotal moment in AI, and it deserves a world-class platform that reflects its growing influence,” said Stefan Weitz, CEO of HumanX. “European companies are incredibly innovative, but they need access to the same 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 and drive AI responsibly.”
First Wave of Speakers Announced
The first 50 speakers 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. Executives from over 15 unicorns—including Quantexa, Owkin, and Decagon—and top VC firms like Lightspeed, Renegade Partners, and Radical Ventures will also participate.
Why Amsterdam?
Amsterdam was selected as the European hub for its strategic location connecting Europe, the Middle East, and global markets, combined with the Netherlands’ progressive AI governance and strong multilingual tech infrastructure. Local stakeholders are enthusiastic about the event’s potential impact.
“Hosting the EMEA event in Amsterdam will facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and help our ecosystem connect and thrive,” said Constantijn van Oranje, special envoy of Techleap.
“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,” said Maurits van der Sluis, Member of the Board, RAI Amsterdam.
Building Momentum Pre-Event
Leading up to September 2026, HumanX plans multiple events, dinners, and gatherings across Europe to cultivate community and foster meaningful connections. Registration opens early 2026, with additional speaker and partner announcements set to roll out throughout the year.
