AI for Social Change - powered by Hazelheartwood

AI has the power to transform society, but how can we ensure it empowers people, strengthens communities, and drives positive impact?

On Wednesday 29 April 2026, FARI and HazelHeartwood will host "AI for Social Change" at BeCentral in Brussels, bringing together experts, practitioners and the public to explore how AI can be used for social good.

You will hear inspiring keynotes, engage in dynamic panels, and gain practical insights on how to turn vision into action. From discussions on humen-centred AI in the workforce, AI for inclusive societies and the growing importance of sovereign AI to a immersive demonstration in Belgium’s largest Computer Augmented Virtual Environment (CAVE) and exploration of the FARI's Test & Experience centre .
In a nutshell, this event is a great opportunity to get a 360° view of AI’s societal potential.

Throughout the day, you’ll have plenty of chances to ask questions, meet the FARI and Hazelheartwood team, and connect with fellow participants.

Free, but registration is required.
Spots are limited, so don’t wait!
