AI-CONNECT 2026: The Human Edge in the Age of AI is an event that places at its core the most important question of modern business – what role does the human being play in a world shaped by artificial intelligence?
The conference addresses the challenges related to increasing automation, showing where the capabilities of technology end and where the advantage arising from human experience, intuition, and responsibility begins.
It is a space for leaders and practitioners who want to consciously leverage the potential of AI to build competitive organizations. The event program includes not only practical applications of artificial intelligence – from process automation, through data analysis, to customer experience design – but also key areas such as cybersecurity and digital transformation, which today define the resilience and growth of companies.
AI-CONNECT 2026 emphasizes the role of the human being as the foundation of future-ready organizations – capable of making sound decisions, responsibly implementing technology, and effectively managing change.
Join the event and discover how to combine the capabilities of AI with human potential, creating companies that are strong, secure, and prepared for what lies ahead.
