Building an AI startup is tough enough. Finding customers, capital, and coverage shouldn’t be. That’s where HumanX 2026 comes in—the premier global AI gathering where startups get a rare opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the leaders shaping the future of the industry. This isn’t just another conference; it’s where ideas meet investors, pilots turn into deals, and early traction becomes momentum.


Here’s why your startup can’t afford to miss it:


Showcase to Thousands of Decision-Makers

Get in front of 6,000+ AI leaders, investors, corporate buyers, and global media. HumanX is where enterprise budgets, policymaker attention, and venture capital converge—all in one place.


Pitch in Front of Top-Tier Investors

Apply for the HumanX Startup Pitch Competition (application coming soon!), powered by Google Cloud. Present in front of leading VCs, industry executives, and media, with winners receiving press coverage, a dedicated press conference, and a professionally produced pitch video to use long after the event.


Even if you don’t make the pitch finals, every participating startup gets 2 minutes on the Startup Showcase stage to present their solution to a live audience of investors and buyers.


Global Media Exposure

With 500+ top-tier journalists on-site from Bloomberg, The New York Times, CNBC, and more, HumanX gives startups unparalleled access to coverage that can amplify your story around the world.


Exclusive Startup–Investor Mixer

Rub shoulders with 500+ confirmed investors at our invite-only opening night mixer. It’s one of the highest-density investor networking opportunities you’ll find anywhere.


AI-Matched 1:1 Investor Meetings

Through our free VentureConnect program, you’ll get curated, one-on-one meetings with investors who are actively scouting new deals in your space.


Hands-On, No-Fluff Content

HumanX isn’t about theory, we’re about execution. Learn directly from founders, C-suite leaders, and technical pioneers in Mindstone’s “Practical-AI” masterclasses, a.k.a. sessions designed to give you frameworks and tactics you can use the moment you’re back at your desk.


Year-Round Value

HumanX doesn’t end after four days in San Francisco. Through follow-up channels, curated investor networks, and year-round engagement, you’ll keep building relationships and visibility long after April.


HumanX 2026 is more than an event. It’s your launchpad. Whether you’re raising capital, landing your first enterprise deal, or looking to scale globally, this is where it starts.


Join us April 6–9, 2026 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
