Persuasive Technology is an interdisciplinary field that investigates 
how interactive systems can influence human attitudes and behaviors 
through persuasion and social influence—without coercion. Since its 
inception in 2006, the conference has served as a global forum for 
researchers, practitioners, and designers interested in behavior change, 
digital intervention, and human-centered technologies.


In 2026, the conference will be held in the scenic city of Hakodate, 
renowned for its blend of history, nature, and innovation. The venue, 
Future University Hakodate, offers a creative atmosphere that supports 
interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborative thinking.

This year, Persuasive2026 will be co-located with the 8th International 
Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing (ABC2026), providing 
opportunities to connect with related communities and expand the scope 
of discussions.

We look forward to welcoming you to an engaging and memorable event in 
northern Japan
