Vienna to host Digital Days 2026 focusing on AI and humanism

The City of Vienna has announced the Digital Days 2026, a three-day digitalization festival scheduled for November 16–18, 2026. Under the motto ‘Technology Race. Human Race.’, the event aims to explore how digital technologies and artificial intelligence impact daily life, work, and urban administration while ensuring human-centric development through digital humanism.

Organized by Urban Innovation Vienna GmbH on behalf of the city, the event will bring together representatives from government, business, science, and society. The program includes the ‘govcamp vienna’ un-conference, a community day for interactive workshops, and a final day at the Technical Museum Vienna featuring showcases on the digital society and workplace.

A keynote by neuroscientist Henning Beck, titled ‘Brain vs. AI’, is scheduled to highlight the unique capabilities of human thought in the age of automation.
