MindLabs Meets –
Faces of the Future

Will virtual humans become our colleagues, assistants, buddies and friends?
Meet the ‘Faces of the Future’ at MindLabs Meets on Tuesday, September 23, 2025! An inspiring event for scientists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and students.

Virtual humans - digital persons who communicate with us and learn by doing so - are increasingly taking on a serious role in healthcare, education, journalism and services. Precisely where meaningful interaction makes the difference. What are the possibilities with virtual humans today, what is our desired future, and what social and ethical questions do we encounter?

Expect thought-provoking keynotes, panel discussions, and interactive experiences. In the evening, we invite you to build new connections during an informal networking drink and an insightful performance by Diederik Jekel.

Join us in shaping the future, sharing knowledge, and connecting with others at MindLabs Meets.

Visitors about previous events

"I was tremendously inspired today. I already knew what MindLabs does in outline, but during the tour it took on even more dimension. I also loved the comedian. He was funny and also had actual knowledge of AI. A combination you don't often see. In short: great organization!"
