SUMMARY:Mozilla Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Mozilla Festival\, aka MozFest\, is three days of bold conversations\, hands-on building\, and ideas worth traveling for. This year\, MozFest is taking over Barcelona’s Recinte Fabra i Coats—a former industrial complex turned cultural powerhouse—from Wednesday\, October 28 through Friday\, October 30\, 2026. We are partnering with the City of Barcelona and taking part in Open Tech Week — a city-wide celebration of the people shaping a better digital world. \n2026 Theme: Wilding\nIn a moment when technology feels increasingly centralized\, extractive\, and controlled\, Wilding is a provocation: what happens when we loosen rigid systems and create the conditions for communities and technologies to evolve collectively\, naturally\, intuitively? \nInspired by ecological practices of rewilding\, where gardens and forests are left to regenerate through their own intelligence\, this theme explores what it means to let our digital worlds grow wilder\, more diverse\, and more alive. It means community-owned mesh networks\, federated platforms\, open protocols\, community archives and tools built on transparency\, trust and mutual flourishing.

SUMMARY:Responsible Tech Summit: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:On October 29\, All Tech Is Human will convene the Responsible Tech Summit at The New York Times Center in Manhattan\, bringing together leaders from across the Responsible Tech ecosystem for a day of dialogue\, collaboration\, and action. The summit will serve as the premier gathering for the global Responsible Tech movement\, connecting voices from civil society\, research\, government\, industry\, academia\, and philanthropy who are working to ensure technology advances in ways that align with the public interest. \nAt a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping society\, the conversation is shifting from broad principles to real-world accountability. The 2026 summit will center around the theme “From Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era.” For years\, the Responsible Tech field has been guided by ethical frameworks\, voluntary commitments\, and emerging standards. Today\, the challenge is clear: how do we translate those ideas into systems of governance\, oversight\, and design that ensure innovation does not come at the expense of safety\, rights\, or trust? \nThe Responsible Tech Summit is designed as a highly curated convening for 375 leaders that helps align and shape the direction of the movement. Participants will include global governance leaders\, AI researchers\, industry practitioners\, policy experts\, civil society advocates\, and philanthropic leaders who are building the infrastructure of accountability for the digital age. Through keynotes\, panels\, and conversations\, attendees will explore topics such as accountability by design\, platform oversight\, youth online safety\, the Responsible Tech economy\, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. \nThis will be the first Responsible Tech Summit that will be livestreamed\, as we are building partnerships to amplify the stage activities to tens of thousands of individuals across the globe. This is a cross-sector gathering bringing the entire ecosystem together. Attendees will be: \n\n\nGlobal Responsible Tech Research & Thought Leadership \n\n\nMajor Civil Society & Digital Rights Organizations \n\n\nResponsible AI and Trust & Safety Practitioners \n\n\nPhilanthropy Driving the Responsible Tech Ecosystem \n\n\nMovement Leadership \n\n\nBuilding on previous summits that have featured leading thinkers such as Sherry Turkle\, Tim Wu\, Frances Haugen\, Justin Hendrix\, Amba Kak\, Rob Reich\, Nora Benavidez\, Nina Jankowicz\, Yael Eisenstat\, Jameel Jaffer\, Melissa Fleming\, Katie Harbath\, and Nabiha Syed\, the 2026 gathering will continue to elevate the voices shaping the future of technology governance. Confirmed speakers include leaders such as Rumman Chowdhury\, Cathy O’Neil\, Eli Pariser\, Camille François\, Sinead Bovell\, Renée Cummings\, Ayah Bdeir\, Joshua Elder\, Anya Schiffrin\, Julie Cordua\, and more to be announced in the coming weeks. \nOur strategic partner for the Responsible Tech Summit is Columbia World Projects. Columbia World Projects mobilizes the university’s researchers and scholars to work with governments\, organizations\, businesses and communities to tackle global challenges. \n\nClick here to learn more and register to attend.
