Sonophilia Creative Leadership Forum
The Sonophilia Annual Meeting 2026
Transhumanism, Creativity, and the Future of Human Culture
An intimate retreat on creativity, artificial life, and transhumanism. These questions are no longer abstract: they are already changing culture, education, work, and everyday life.
The gathering
We are bringing together a carefully composed group of researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, educators, technology builders, cultural practitioners, and Sonophilia supporters.
The weekend combines talks, embodied practice, artistic contributions, and the kind of open conversation that only happens when the room is small enough for everyone to matter.
The question
What happens to creativity and human culture when the boundaries between human, machine, body, mind, intelligence, and life become less stable?
We will explore transhumanism, artificial life, creative agency, embodied attention, AI, leadership, and new forms of organization.
The format
This is not a standard conference. It is a retreat with talks, fireside conversations, artistic moments, body-based practice, and open space.
Friday begins with arrival and an opening program. Saturday is the main meeting day. Sunday is dedicated to reflection, synthesis, and the collaborations and public work that should follow.
The place
Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg offers a setting for sustained attention, conversation, and exchange across disciplines.
The program will provide structure while protecting real space for participant-led exchange.
