May 7–8, 2026 | Zurich Switzerland

Core Topics

Day 1:  9am-5pm

Keynote: State of AI

Morning Session. Human vs Machine Identity

Digital Identity, Proof of Humanity, Verifiable Credentials. As AI agents proliferate, distinguishing humans from machines becomes critical. This track explores:

• Self-sovereign identity systems for people and agents

• On-chain verification of personhood and intent

• Trust models where agents prove capabilities, not just keys

Key question: How do we maintain human agency and trust in an automated world?

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions

​

Afternoon Session. AI & Robot Governance by Blockchain

Autonomous DAOs, Robotic Consensus, Blockchain as the Governance Layer

• EU AI Act, legal status of agents, Smart Contracts and accountability

• Autonomous DAOs and consensus mechanisms designed for machine agents

• How to prevent an agent from buying a dishwasher

Key question: Can blockchains be utilised to coordinate intelligent agents globally?

Formats: Presentations & Fishbowl Discussions

Day2:  9am-5pm

Keynote: Agent-to-Agent Interaction

Morning Session. Payment & Digital Money

Autonomous Economy, Rent-a-Robot, Universal Basic Income, HTTP 402

The future of payment isn't just about faster transactions; it's about machine-native economies:

• Agents that pay for API access or rent physical assets
