Workshop

Confluence @ EPFL

8–9 October 2026  ·  EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

About

The Confluence Workshop will explore the future of computing, focusing on the ideas that emerge where computing meets language, markets, physics, the mind, and the body. The program will feature invited talks, brainstorming sessions, and open discussion. It should be a lot of fun.

Venue

The workshop takes place in rooms BC 420 and BC 410 in the BC building on EPFL's campus in Lausanne. The building is a short walk from the EPFL metro station (M1 line).

The workshop coincides with Forum EPFL, a large student job-recruitment event that draws tens of thousands of visitors to campus. Please allow extra time for the metro and expect restaurants and shops on campus to be busy.
