Human+Agents Co-Evolution Symposium 2026
By invitation only
Building the Successful Future of Human+Machine Intelligence
During Human+Tech Week 2026
How do we ensure humanity flourishes in the age of AI?
Human+Tech Week is the global platform where human potential and technology converge to solve our biggest challenges in health, work, and society.
We convene the leaders, builders, and investors advancing applied AI. Together, we are reshaping work, health, and cities to help humanity thrive.
What This Day Is
An intimate, curated day of real conversation
An invitation-only forum convened by AI pioneer Barney Pell and Human Tech investor Nichol Bradford to go deep on how humans and AI agents can optimally collaborate in real-world systems: in personal use, inside organizations, and across cities.
We'll move from live case studies to open design questions to the hard conversations that don't happen on stage.
What emerges here will directly inform the year-long implementation labs, amplify impact across 5,000+ attendees, and drive the movement forward for 2026 and beyond.
"I count last year's event as the most insight-packed set of conversations of the year on our communal challenges in shaping the human/AI/agent moment and future." — Lewis Shepherd , Federal CTO, Broadcom
