QED Conference has announced its 2026 theme: Collective.
The program will examine how unity and collaboration amplify individual strengths, and what it takes to work effectively when parts of a team are not only human.
“Humanity has always progressed through cooperation and synergy,” said Vedrana Miholić, CRO at CROZ and head of the QED organizing committee. “As intelligent systems join our teams, the question is how we build trust, connect across people and technology, and turn that connection into real results.”
Set to take place 10-12 May 2026, once again at the beautiful 5-star Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera in Zadar, Croatia, QED will bring together experts from science, philosophy, business, and technology to examine what it means to operate “as one” in an age of complexity. Through talks, workshops, and panel discussions, participants will explore how collective thinking can help navigate disruption, foster innovation, and strengthen our shared resilience.
“ The goal is not to talk about collective intelligence of people and AI in theory and simply believe it is the future,” the organizers said. “It is to show how to make it work in practice.”
Registration will open by the end of the year on the official QED website, with more info on the keynote coming soon.
