PauseCon London ‘26
We are excited to announce the dates for the next PauseCon: PauseAI’s flagship training conference. If you want to make an impact in your community and grow the PauseAI movement, we encourage you to apply .
The deadline for applications is August 21.
What is PauseCon?
PauseCon is the gathering for PauseAI members and organisers working to prevent the development of unsafe superintelligent AI.
It will centre on workshops to prepare current and future organisers to return to their countries with the motivation, confidence and skills to build the PauseAI movement, build local groups and organise events.
Who is PauseCon for?
If you are concerned about the catastrophic risks posed by AI and are determined to do something about it, PauseCon is for you. We are looking for people who are willing and able to commit their time as a volunteer.
PauseCon is about preparing volunteers to make an impact in their communities. If you are ready to move beyond discussion and contribute to tangible political change, PauseCon is for you.
What to expect
Strategy workshops
Take part in exercises and discussions to learn from PauseAI and from your peers. Workshops will focus on communicating catastrophic risk, building and sustaining local chapters and groups, and coalition strategy and campaign planning.
High-level talks
Hear from experts in the AI safety field about technology and policy. This is your chance to learn from those at the forefront of AI safety.
Community and networking
Become part of a community of talented, like-minded people who are extremely motivated to build the PauseAI movement.
