MARCH 8 - 10, 2027 · LAS VEGAS
Built from what 2026 told us.
Last year's audience wasn't asking whether to deploy AI. They had deployed it, it wasn't working the way they expected, and they came to find out why. The 2027 program starts there.
Seven Problems We're Programming Around
Not technology categories. The problems attendees told us they're living with.
1.
It Breaks at the Handoff
We deployed. It's not working. Why? Context gets lost between systems, ownership gets lost between teams, and trust gets lost with the person on the other end.
2.
Who's Accountable When the Software Decides
Agents are taking real actions. Leaders want to hand them responsibility without losing control, and they value reliability over raw intelligence.
3.
The Ground Moved Under Security
Security models were built for a stack that no longer exists. CISOs want to compare notes with peers, not sit through vendor talks.
4.
Being Found by Machines
What happens to your brand when an LLM answers the question before anyone clicks. Nobody has the playbook yet.
5.
Where Do My People Fit
Who owns reskilling, how to bring a workforce along, and how to lead through the anxiety, including your own.
6.
Show Me How the Winners Actually Work
Inside the operating models of the companies moving fastest: how they organize, ship and decide. Not product pitches.
7.
Is Any of This Real?
Separating durable value from the hype cycle, for the investors writing checks and the operators signing contracts.
Plus a growing physical AI thread: robotics, autonomy and spatial intelligence, from the teams putting AI into the real world.
Six tracks. One is built for you.

What's next for marketing in an AI-first world?
IN DEVELOPMENT · FORMATS AND SPEAKERS TO BE ANNOUNCED
Sessions we're building for 2027
CORPORATE AI · MAIN STAGE CASE STUDY
The Handoff Autopsy
Their agent worked in the demo. It worked in the pilot. Then it hit the org chart. A Fortune 500 AI leader and the business owner on the other side walk through exactly where it broke, who should have owned it, and what fixed it.
For CAIOs, CIOs and CDOs
SECURITY · CORPORATE AI · LIVE TEARDOWN
Who Signed Off? The Agent Accountability Stack
Your agent just approved a $40K refund. Who signed off? Four executives from one company show how they divided ownership, liability and kill-switch authority, and where they still disagree. You leave with their RACI.
For CAIOs, CISOs and general counsel
MARKETING · SALES · DATA-LED SESSION
Year Two of Being Found by Machines
Last year everyone was guessing at GEO. Now there's a year of data. Brands open the books on what LLM visibility did to traffic and pipeline, and what happens when the buyer is an AI agent with a budget.
For CMOs and CROs
SECURITY · CISO PANEL
The Agent Incident Postmortem
Everyone has an AI security policy. Three CISOs walk through a real incident from their own company: what the agent did, how they caught it, and the controls they added after. Paired with a CISO roundtable the same day.
For CISOs and security leaders
ECOSYSTEM · LIVE DEBATE
The Bear Case, Argued Properly
Every panel says it's not a bubble. This one makes someone argue that it is. Two investors, one claim, a live audience vote before and after, and no hedging allowed.
For founders, investors, and operators
Every speaker is chosen by our editorial team. No paid stage time. That's why you'll hear what broke, not just what shipped.
What the 2026 Room Actually Wanted
1,648
Favorites for the #1 session of 2026. It wasn't a keynote. It was a peer roundtable on why AI breaks between systems, teams and people.
5x
Peer roundtables organized by function drew roughly five times the interest of general-topic roundtables. Peers beat presenters.
879
Favorites for a roundtable on being found by AI search engines. More than any marketing keynote on the agenda.
Based on session favorites in the 2026 HumanX app.
Five Ways to Experience the Program
From the main stage to a single table of peers. Pick the format that fits the problem you came to solve.
STAGE SESSIONS
Keynotes, interviews and case studies across every stage. Operators showing what they built and what broke, not vision decks.
ROUNDTABLES
Peers Only
Closed-door, peer-only, organized by function. Your peers, your problem, one table. Last year's most-favorited session was a roundtable.
LABS
Build don't watch
Hands-on rooms where you build, not watch. Leave with something you can use Monday: a template, a workflow, a working agent.
Pitch Showcase
The startups worth watching, pitching live to the investors who fund them and the enterprise buyers who might sign them.
Executive Lunches
Senior Leaders, One Table
Smaller hosted conversations over lunch for senior leaders working through the same problem, in a room built for candor.
