IIThe Human Algorithm
What if the flaw is the feature?
As AI perfects the answers, are we asking the right questions? An invitation-only gathering of 50 leaders.
April 29, 2026
Soho House Istanbul
This is not a technology conference.
It's a leadership reckoning. We celebrated efficiency. We optimized processes. We scaled solutions. Now, we face a new paradox: In a world perfected by artificial intelligence, what is the value of human imperfection?
The Human Algorithm is an exclusive, one-day dialogue for 50 leaders ready to explore the unquantifiable assets of leadership: Intuition, error, silence, and meaning.
We are not here to provide answers. We are here to find the right questions.
Act I
The Value of Error
The strategic value of imperfection, failure, and forgetting in the age of efficiency.
Act II
The Anatomy of Intuition
The role of unmeasurable data — intuition, empathy, embodied intelligence — in the moment of decision.
Act III
The Meaning Makers
Preserving the human monopoly on creating meaning in a universe of infinite possibilities.

Shaping the future of AI & PEOPLE
For the first time ever, we're bringing together 50 leaders for an intimate dialogue.
All panels will be recorded and insights will be shared with attendees after the event.
Limited to 50 leaders. Invitations only.
This Dialogue is for Leaders Haunted by a New Set of Questions.
"Where do we even start with AI?"
For the CEO wrestling with intuition
"My gut feeling says one thing, but the data says another. Which do I trust?"
You've built your career on gut feelings. Now, a dashboard tells you you're wrong. This is for you.
For the Functional Leader who fears optimization is killing creativity
"We are so efficient, but does my team still feel creative? Do I?"
You've made your teams more efficient, but you feel a spark is missing. This is for you.
For the Founder who has failed
"In a world of perfect answers, what is the value of a beautiful mistake?"
You've learned more from your losses than your wins, and you know that the story of innovation is written in errors. This is for you.
For the Emerging Leader who wants to be human
"What if our greatest competitive advantage is not in what we do, but in who we are?"
You know that leadership in the AI era won't be about having the right answers, but about asking the right questions. This is for you.
If you're wrestling with questions like "How do we stay human in the age of AI?" or "What does leadership mean when machines think?"—this conversation is designed for you.
