Program & speakers
Partners Day Program (November 18, 2025)
The FARI Brussels Conference takes place over two days, with a “Partners Day” on November 18. Held at BeCentral, this day is designed as a collaborative space, co-created with various participating partners. It features interactive sessions and workshops that aim to continue the discussions from the previous day with a more hands-on and practical focus. This year, the partners will be focusing on the question ‘AI, Robots & Us: Living with Intelligent Agents?’ and will be asking themselves whether we as a society can go beyond simply coexisting with these technologies and evolve around them.
