Do iOS 2026 brings Europe’s iOS developer community to Amsterdam for three days of hands-on workshops, technical talks and networking from 10–12 November 2026. The event opens on Tuesday with two full-day workshops: - Daniel Steinberg: on-device Apple Foundation Models, covering sessions, prompts, instructions, tools, private cloud compute, images, dynamic profiles and evaluations. Attendees need a Mac running Xcode 27 and an iOS 27 or macOS 27 deployment device. - Peter Friese: building a production-ready meal-planning and calorie-tracking app with Apple Foundation Models, Gemini and Firebase AI Logic. The conference follows on 11–12 November. Confirmed sessions explore scalable SwiftUI design systems, hybrid agentic apps using on-device and cloud models such as Claude and Gemini, FDA readiness for medical apps, iOS security testing, advanced App Intents, production visionOS use cases, adaptive interfaces, Object-Oriented UX and SwiftUI’s graph architecture. Douglas Hill will also introduce Rust through a Swift-shaped lens, while Ekaterina Volkova will discuss staying resilient as technical expertise evolves. Hosts Jeroen Leenarts and Daniel Steinberg lead a programme featuring Peter Friese, Raluca Bujor, Dharam Kapila, Alex Antonov, Cyril Cermak, Matvei Novoselov, Caitlin Steele, Mihaela Mihaljevic, Emanuele Agosta and others. The agenda remains preliminary, with some talk topics still to be announced. Workshop-only, conference-only and combined passes are available. Conference days include talks, lunch, community time and a walking dinner on Wednesday. The venue is NEMO Science Museum, Oosterdok 2, a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station.

CONVERSATIONS 2026 brings chatbot and human-centred AI researchers to the University of Amsterdam from 23–25 November for its 10th scientific symposium. Taking place in Amsterdam, this international event offers researchers and practitioners a multidisciplinary forum for presenting findings, exchanging knowledge and examining the future of human-centred artificial intelligence. The programme will explore how conversational systems and generative AI can be designed, studied and deployed around human needs. Research themes The symposium focuses on several closely connected areas: - Chatbot research and design - Human–AI interaction and collaboration - Human–AI decision-making - Trustworthy AI - Human-centred research into generative AI and large language models The event is particularly relevant to academics, PhD candidates, early-stage researchers and industry practitioners working in conversational AI, interaction design or adjacent disciplines. As a scientific symposium, it centres on research exchange, paper presentations and informed discussion rather than introductory training. A milestone edition and doctoral consortium CONVERSATIONS 2026 marks the 10th edition of the symposium. A doctoral consortium will precede the main programme, giving PhD students and early-stage researchers a dedicated setting in which to present ongoing or planned work, receive feedback and build connections across the wider research community. The call for papers welcomes: - Full papers covering empirical studies, theory, design research or innovative implementations - Short papers sharing preliminary findings or implementations with strong research potential - Position papers and project presentations addressing work in progress, active projects or open questions - Doctoral consortium extended abstracts from PhD students and early-stage researchers The firm submission deadline is 5 September 2026, followed by author notifications on 10 October and revised papers on 25 October.
