​As part of Human Tech Week, we are launching the HTW Author Salon Series on the second floor of the historic Hibernia Bank Building.

​Throughout the summit, the second floor of Hibernia will transform into an intimate salon space for authors, researchers, technologists, founders, philosophers, and cultural thinkers to host live conversations, book talks, signings, and fireside-style gatherings.

​These sessions are designed to feel human, immersive, and conversational. Smaller rooms. Real dialogue. The kind of space where people can slow down, exchange ideas deeply, and actually connect beyond the main stages.

​​​How the Week Works

​Human+Tech Week takes place in San Francisco from May 11–15, 2026 and is anchored by three ticketed Summit days, each focused on one of the core domains defining the human+technology future: work, health, and cities.

​The Summits are full-day, in-depth experiences designed for leaders and builders who want to engage seriously with the ideas, challenges, and decisions defining these domains in the age of AI.

​Surrounding the Summits, partner-led and city-wide events extend conversations across the city, creating space for continued learning, exchange, and collaboration throughout the week.

​Stay tuned! More exciting speakers to be announced soon.

​​​We Look Forward to Seeing You

​Human+Tech Week brings together builders, leaders, and investors focused on advancing human-centered outcomes across work, health, and cities.

​As AI reshapes every layer of society, this is a moment to focus deliberately on human capability, wellbeing, and long-term impact.
