Responsible Tech Summit 2026

Responsible Tech Summit 2026 brings 375 global leaders to New York on 29 October to turn responsible AI principles into practical accountability. ## From principles to power Hosted by All Tech Is Human, this highly curated, one-day summit will convene bridge-builders and decision-makers from civil society, government, industry and academia. The central theme,“From Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era”,moves the responsible technology conversation beyond broad commitments and towards the relationships, influence and action needed to make accountability meaningful. Taking place at The New York Times Center in New York, the summit is designed for people working across organisational and sector boundaries in the Responsible Tech ecosystem. It will be particularly relevant to policymakers, researchers, civil society leaders, technology professionals, academics and others shaping how AI is developed, governed and used. The global, cross-sector mix offers attendees an opportunity to compare perspectives and build connections with people approaching AI accountability from different institutional positions. ## What to expect The main programme will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm EST on Thursday, 29 October 2026 and feature a varied stage format, including: - Panel discussions bringing together viewpoints from across the ecosystem - Fireside chats for more focused conversations - Presentations exploring responsible technology and AI accountability - A nearby networking gathering immediately after the stage programme - Coordinated side events offering more hands-on engagement With in-person attendance limited to 375 participants, the format places a clear emphasis on a deliberately assembled community rather than a large, general-interest conference audience. The networking session and side events extend the experience beyond formal talks, creating space for deeper discussion, practical exchange and new cross-sector relationships.… Register for this event
