Call for sponsors
Fund the people closing the benchmark-to-deployment gap
Sponsorship pays for travel grants, registration-fee waivers, and a mentorship program, so that participation does not depend on who can afford to attend.
Why sponsor
Where evaluation conventions get set
Agentic AI is moving into deployment across software, healthcare, aviation, and finance faster than the field's ability to measure it. HAIC 2026 builds the methodological foundation for evaluating and governing human-agent systems as they coevolve with the people who use them.
- Connect with researchers from Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Google DeepMind, Chicago, UCLA, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, and other leading institutions.
- Engage a community spanning ML evaluation, HCI, human-agent teaming, AI safety, and applied high-stakes domains.
- Help set evaluation conventions for agentic AI at the venue where ML benchmark norms are established.
- Contribute to the rigorous measurement of deployed human-agent systems, not just their capability.
