CONVERSATIONS 2026 — International Symposium on Chatbots and Human-Centred AI

The tenth edition of CONVERSATIONS, the international symposium on chatbots and human-centred AI, comes to the University of Amsterdam for three days — and participation is free. Papers are published in Springer's LNCS proceedings, so the programme is peer-reviewed research rather than vendor content: conversational agent design, evaluation, trust and the human factors that decide whether any of it works. For anyone building agents commercially, this is an unusually cheap way to see where the evidence actually is, a year or two ahead of the conference circuit. Hosted by the UvA School of Communication Research with SINTEF, TH Lubeck and international partners.
