World Internet Conference – Wuzhen Summit is a high-profile annual internet and technology conference held in Wuzhen, Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China, combining policy dialogue on internet governance with large-scale industry exhibitions and product demonstrations. In the context of digital humans, the summit functions as both a showcase venue and a deployment testbed, where organizers and exhibitors present AI-driven digital human hosts, virtual guides for venues and exhibitions, service avatars for navigation and information access, and increasingly “large-model” enabled interactive figures used for multilingual assistance, content presentation, and cultural or tourism-oriented experiences. The adjacent exhibition programming, often associated with the “Internet Light” expo activities, provides a structured space for companies and local government partners to demonstrate digital human capabilities as part of broader “smart event” systems, including immersive displays and integrated on-site services, while the conference agenda also provides a platform where synthetic media, AI-generated content, and governance approaches relevant to digital humans are discussed alongside other foundational internet issues.
