Social Sim'26 2026

Second Workshop on Social Simulation with LLMS: Fidelity in Applications (Shared Task)

Oct 09 2026San Francisco, USAOfficial workshop site Site reachable

Social Sim'26 is a conference focused on the intersection of social simulation and large language models (LLMs), aiming to explore how LLMs can enhance, transform, or challenge traditional methods in social simulation research. The event welcomes interdisciplinary contributions that advance the understanding of social phenomena through computational modeling augmented by LLMs.
