Calling all improvisers! ✨ We’re headed to Rimini, Italy for the 2026 AIN Global Conference and registration is officially open! 🎭💖

This conference is more than just a gathering; it’s a dynamic experience where we will explore our theme: "The Art of Being Human".

Conference Dates: Thursday, October 22nd - Sunday, October 25th, 2026

At an AIN Global Conference, you can expect an environment that swaps traditional lectures for high-energy, experiential learning. Rooted in the "Yes, And" philosophy, the sessions are deeply interactive, often requiring you to get on your feet to practice improv-based techniques applied to business, healthcare, and social change. It is a space where the usual professional hierarchies dissolve, replaced by a culture of radical inclusivity and playful curiosity.

Why grab your spot TODAY? ⏳

Right now, AIN Members can lock in the Best Price Package for just $1,100. This is the ultimate "easy button" for your trip—it bundles your full conference experience AND your stay at the elegant 4-star Hotel Ambasciatori! 🏨✨

This "Stay & Play" bundle is the absolute best value we offer, but it’s only available until Sunday, May 17th. After that, the prices will roll into the next tier, so book now to secure the cheapest rate possible! 🏃💨

They say that good things come to those who wait... We know many of you have been eagerly anticipating the opening of registration today for the 2026 AIN Global Conference in Rimini, Italy. And we want to start by offering our sincerest apologies for the delay. We have made the decision to move our official registration launch to Wednesday, April 1st, 2026.

We want to be very clear about why we are taking this extra time. We are working closely with our conference team to craft the best possible package and conference experience for everyone. Our priority is ensuring that every detail is in place to provide you with an unforgettable event, and these few extra days will allow us to finalize those efforts to the highest standard.

Yes, And...we realize the new date! We promise that this is not an April Fool’s joke. Registration will officially go live on April 1st.

In the meantime, we want to keep the incredible excitement going! Our Request for Proposals form is currently open! We encourage you to take this time to refine your thoughts and submit your proposals. We can’t wait to see the expertise and creativity you’ll bring to this year’s theme, The Art of Being Human.

Thank you for your patience, your excitement, and your continued passion for this network. We look forward to seeing you on the registration list very soon!

The stage is set for the 2026 AIN Global Conference... and now we just need YOU!

This year’s theme is The Art of Being Human. In the vibrant streets of Rimini, where Commedia dell’Arte once tore up the rulebook, our theme—The Art of Being Human—is a high-spirited invitation to reclaim our spontaneity from a world obsessed with "optimization." While algorithms and rigid protocols try to script our every move, Applied Improvisation reminds us that the best parts of life happen off-book.

We’re trading the safety of a fixed script for the spark of the canovaccio (the scenario), shifting from functioning like efficient machines to thriving as present, creative beings. By celebrating the messy beauty of the "mistake" and the magic of radical listening, we’re reclaiming our "Human Edge." After all, in leadership, learning, and life, the most meaningful work isn't found in a manual—it’s an improvised art.

We are officially accepting proposals! If you’re using applied improv in business, education, healthcare, or any field, we want to see how you are bringing this theme to life.

✨ Where: Rimini, Italy (We’re staying and playing all in one place)
✨ Conference Dates: Thursday, October 22nd - Sunday, October 25th, 2026
✨ Learning Journey Dates: Wednesday, October 21st and Thursday, October 22nd, 2026
✨ Deadline: Get your proposals in by June 1st!
✨ Conference Registration: Opens Monday, March 23rd!

Come for the workshops and learning, stay for the Adriatic views and incredible community. We can’t wait to see what you bring to the table.
