SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw invites participation in the international conference HumanTech Summit 2026, which will take place from December 3 to 5, 2026. The event will bring together scientists, practitioners, designers, and representatives of business and the public sector in a single space, creating a platform for exchanging knowledge and experience in interdisciplinary research on technologies.
The main theme of this year's edition is the slogan “Beyond Intelligence: Human Futures in a Technological World.” The organizers focus on reflecting on the role of new technologies as a force that actively shapes human thinking, behavior, and social relationships. The goal of the conference is not only to present technological novelties but, above all, to analyze their impact on the social and psychological sphere.
The thematic scope of the event covers a wide spectrum of issues concerning the relationship between humans and technology. The central point of discussion will be the impact of artificial intelligence on society and decision-making processes. Participants will analyze the development of generative AI and its effect on human creativity and cognitive processes. An important aspect of the deliberations will also remain the role of social media and the phenomenon of technostress, which is becoming increasingly significant in the age of digitization.
In addition to AI-related issues, the conference will address human interaction with robots and immersive technologies such as VR, AR, and XR. Special attention is being paid to mental health and well-being in the context of daily use of new technological solutions. The event program also includes digital safety, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems. The discussion will also cover the application of technology in crisis situations, issues related to human augmentation, and user-centered design.
