Product & Tech Practitioners
Founders, CPOs, heads of product and engineers who have built AI-integrated products and learned something real along the way — about what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.
Designers & UX Researchers
People who hold the human evidence — researchers who've tested AI with real users, designers who've built interfaces that had to earn trust, and design leaders navigating ethical complexity every day.
Artists, Filmmakers & Musicians
Creators whose work intersects with technology — whether using AI in your practice, exploring human identity through your medium, or simply having a perspective on what it means to be human in an automated world. Your voice belongs here.
AI & Ethics Leaders
Practitioners working on responsible AI, governance, security and trust — who can speak from inside the work, not just about the policy around it.
Futurists & Foresight Leaders
LeadersResearchers, writers and strategists who think in longer arcs — who can help the room imagine what we should be designing for, not just what's trending this quarter.
Storytellers & Strategic Thinkers
You don't need a conference CV. If you have something honest and specific to say — a story from inside the work that this community needs to hear — we want to hear from you. We actively seek new voices.

Let's be honest. No one wants to sit through a 100-slide presentation. We like our talks and speakers to be more interactive
Honest about complexity
The best talks acknowledge what didn't work, what's unresolved, or where you changed your mind. We're not looking for tidy success narratives.
Centres the human, not the technology
Wherever the technology appears in your story, the people it affects are always in frame too.
Grounded in real experience
Your talk comes from something you've actually built, researched, created or lived — not a trend piece or a hypothetical.
Real takeaways
A new way of thinking, a useful framework, a provocation, a skill. Something that was worth the trip.
Not a sales pitch
We are particular about avoiding sales pitches from the stage. Talks at HuemanSide don't promote products, platforms or services. You're here to share ideas, not marketing goals.
