In just a short time, HumanX has made great strides as the AI conference to attend—take it from us, as we recently had the pleasure of attending their event in San Francisco to witness firsthand the energy, education, and excitement onsite.
We sat down with Shauna Kiely, Head of Content - EMEA at HumanX, about the launch of their first-ever HumanX expansion into Europe, what to expect, and what makes a stellar speaking submission.
HumanX brought together thousands of executives, founders, investors, and technologists all trying to figure out the same question: where does AI go from here—and who's steering it?

This post recaps why founder-led storytelling is working and how it performs best.
