GatherVerse Summit 2026

The GatherVerse Summit 2026 is a global gathering for people and communities who care about how emerging technologies intersect with human life and society. Conversations begin with human dignity, well-being, and the basic conditions that matter across cultures and communities.

We meet what is new with care. We listen to those most affected, examine early evidence through open dialogue, and discuss ideas in public so concepts can become practices that scale.

At GatherVerse, we start with people. We listen first, welcome distinct voices, and design agendas grounded in real experience, connecting global and local perspectives.

The Summit brings together practitioners and community members through roundtables, fireside chats, and dialogues that focus on what matters most.

This approach keeps human priorities at the center of each conversation and supports outcomes informed by lived experience.

GatherVerse Summit attendees come from across the global community, including technologists, educators, researchers, designers, civic leaders, advocates, and community builders. Many work at the frontlines of access, inclusion, wellness, ethics, technology, business, healthcare, education, entertainment, and public policy.

The summit is for creators, developers, investors, and organizations navigating digital evolution, and for those committed to sharing with one another.
