Trusted AI Agents by Design: From Trust Ecosystems to Authority Continuity

⌖ Liverpool · University of Liverpool

IST Technical Conference 2026 brings technical and professional communities to the University of Liverpool on 15 September for talks, networking and practical insight. Built around the theme “Future Ready: Skills, Systems and Stories”, this one-day conference explores how professionals can prepare for changing technologies, working practices and industry expectations. Its accompanying message,“You’ll Never Work Alone”,places collaboration and professional community at the heart of the programme. Hosted at the University of Liverpool in Liverpool, the conference will address the evolving relationship between technical work, AI and the creative industries. Rather than treating new technology as a purely technical challenge, the theme creates space to consider the skills people need, the systems that support their work and the stories that help organisations communicate change. What to expect The event combines conference talks and professional networking, giving attendees opportunities to learn from the programme while meeting peers from other organisations, disciplines and sectors. Discussion will centre on three connected areas: - Skills: preparing people and teams for emerging professional demands - Systems: examining the technologies, structures and processes shaping technical work - Stories: understanding how ideas, experiences and change are communicated - AI and creative industries: exploring areas central to the Institute of Science & Technology’s professional community The conference is being prepared to meet the needs of technical and professional communities across all industries and sectors. It is particularly relevant to technicians, technical specialists, AI practitioners, creative technology professionals, STEMM practitioners and those responsible for developing technical capability. The broad, cross-sector approach should also suit managers, educators and professional-development leads who want to understand how technical roles are evolving.
