Welcome to the 2026 IAF Asia Conference!   

As you may know, this year marks the 25th edition of our conference — a gathering long celebrated for being fun, engaging, diverse, and full of high-energy. Beyond workshops, it is a space for unexpected cross-disciplinary encounters, late-night conversations, shared laughter, and moments of profound insight. We honour where we come from, while staying deeply curious about what lies ahead — and that is why your voice matters, wherever in the world you may be from. This has never been just a conference; it is a gathering where we co-create the future together. 

This autumn, join us in Hangzhou, China — a city known as “Paradise on Earth,” and also a living landscape of the future. Here, the gentle ripples of West Lake, the fragrance of Longjing tea, and the pulse of flowing data and innovation coexist. In its Song‑dynasty‑style lanes, you will meet today’s innovators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. Together, we will explore the next chapter of co-creation between AI and humanity. Hangzhou is where harmony and innovation naturally grow side by side.                     

Much like this land where hills and waters embrace, and tradition mingles with innovation, our economic and social systems are deeply interconnected and continuously evolving. As facilitators, collaborators, and catalysts for change, how do we cultivate our inner practice amid systemic shifts? How do we facilitate complexity, uncertainty, human systems, and relationships in ways that support more inclusive, innovative, and impactful co-creation?                     

At the threshold of transformation, we begin with attunement and move toward resonance. This autumn, by West Lake, beneath Lingyin Temple, we invite you to co-create a future of Hé — one that embraces difference while moving forward together in harmony.                     

We look forward to welcoming you to Hangzhou.
