Human+Tech Week

What Human+Tech Week does

Human+Tech Week is an annual conference platform focused on Human+AI innovation, founded in 2025 by Nichol Bradford and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company organizes a multi-day, multi-track conference that convenes executive leaders, founders, investors, researchers, and institutional stakeholders around the intersection of human capability and emerging technology. The 2026 edition expanded the format from a single program to four themed summits covering Work, Healthspan, Cities, and Agency, drawing 5,500 contributors (a 4.5x increase over the 2025 inaugural event of 1,200) from approximately 1,000 organizations, with 73% C-suite representation, 40% from Fortune 1000 companies, and a 73% US / 27% international split.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream event model. Ticket sales to attendees constitute a one-time, event-anchored revenue line; corporate sponsorships are sold on a quote-based tier system with 70+ partner organizations in 2026, including SHRM, Niremia Collective, Infractive Tech Collaborative, Inflection AI, Magic, Stanford HAI, and Panasonic Well; delegation bookings from institutional groups provide a third line; and partner events extend monetization beyond the core conference week. Pricing for individual tickets is not publicly disclosed beyond an early-bird rate, while sponsorship and delegation packages are quote-based.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped/founder-owned at the time of analysis, with no disclosed external funding. A Director of Investor Relations hire in 2026 suggests preparation for future capital activity. Forward plans call for 10,000 ecosystem contributors, 150 partner events, and 20 anchor partners at the 2027 edition (May 10-14, 2027), implying a near-doubling of attendance and more than doubling of the partner ecosystem within a single year.

Core offering

Human+Tech Week produces an annual five-day conference (May 10–14, 2027 at The Hibernia, San Francisco) and year-round salon programming centered on Human+AI innovation. The event consists of four summits (Work, Healthspan, Cities, and Agency), symposiums, innovation labs, a global start-up competition, and approximately 150 partner-hosted events, with access sold via tickets, delegation bookings, and sponsorship packages.

Product overview

Human+Tech Week is a conference/event platform built around a single flagship annual event. The core product is the HTW annual conference (May 10-14, 2027 in San Francisco), a multi-day gathering for human+AI innovation that comprises four thematic summits (WORK, HEALTHSPAN, CITIES, and symposia), alongside partner-organized events, innovation labs, a global start-up competition, and year-round salon gatherings. The four summits—WORK SUMMIT focused on workforce transformation, HEALTHSPAN SUMMIT covering longevity and health, and CITIES SUMMIT addressing urban innovation—each address distinct pillars of human potential while the broader event infrastructure (symposums, innovation labs, start-up competition) supports knowledge sharing and networking across the ecosystem.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• SXSW (South by Southwest): Large-scale, multi-track annual conference spanning technology, film, and music. Comparable to HTW as a tent-pole annual gathering that curates cross-industry programming and partners, though it operates at materially larger scale and in Austin.
• Web Summit: One of the world's largest annual technology conferences, drawing tens of thousands of attendees including C-suite executives, founders, and investors. Directly comparable business model (ticketing + sponsorship + partner events) and attendee composition to HTW.
• Dreamforce: Salesforce's flagship annual conference, comparable to HTW as a multi-day enterprise event combining keynotes, partner-hosted programming, and C-suite attendance. A larger, incumbent analog in the enterprise-tech conference category.
• CES (Consumer Technology Association): Industry-defining technology trade show with a global attendee base, sponsor-driven model, and thematic tracks covering health, work, and cities. Comparable in scale, structure, and thematic pillars to HTW's Work/Healthspan/Cities framing.

Direct peers

• Summit Series: Invitation-only gatherings of founders, investors, and cultural leaders with year-round community programming. Closely aligned to HTW's "gravitational field" model, year-round salon engagement, and C-suite attendee positioning.
• CogX Festival: Annual AI and emerging-technology festival with multi-stage programming and a C-level attendee focus. Directly comparable thematic positioning at the intersection of AI and human impact, with a similar sponsor-driven revenue model.
• TechCrunch Disrupt: Flagship annual startup and technology conference featuring a startup competition, partner events, and high-value attendee mix. Comparable to HTW in its founder/investor focus and annual flagship + satellite events structure.
• SaaStr Annual: Annual SaaS industry conference focused on bringing together SaaS executives, founders, and investors — a similar buyer-to-builder mix as HTW's 2:1 ratio. Comparable in scale and target attendee, with a strong sponsor and community-driven model.
• Transform (by Fortune): Invitation-only executive conference focused on the future of work and leadership, with a C-suite attendee base similar to HTW's 73% C-level composition. Direct competitor in the executive-level workforce/AI conversation.

Emerging players

• NextMed Health: Conference focused on the intersection of health, technology, and medicine — overlapping directly with HTW's Healthspan Summit and one of HTW's named partners. Comparable in scale and audience as an emerging health-and-tech event.
