Fair Tech Summit Europe 2026

The programme.

A one-day conference designed to maximise meaningful conversations and collaboration between Europe's ethical tech makers.

2026 theme · Together towards digital sovereignty

The digital poster wall

We ask all participants — optional, but fun! — to provide one slide, image or PDF at the size of a horizontal slide for the online, public poster wall.

It should describe: a summary of your project or organization, plus your invitation to the other organizations at the conference — in what ways are you open to collaborate?

Tip: don't write too small, so people can read it on a PC and on a horizontal mobile. For lightning-talk presenters, we'll show your poster on screen during your talk!

Coming to the Fair Tech Summit? You can still send us your poster, and we'll add it to the digital poster wall!
