Overview of the Humies event at GECCO 2025, highlighting finalists’ presentations and participation.
The GECCO 2025 Conference was held July 14-18 this year, once again in hybrid mode. Nearly 600 people came to Málaga, Spain to attend in person, and an additional 200 or so registered to attend virtually. The finals of the Humies competition (see www.human-competitive.org for the Call for Entries) was a plenary session on Thursday, July 17, that was attended by about 150 people. The eight finalists earlier selected by the judges (from among 15 entries this year, and based on the papers and entry forms they submitted) presented their work in 10-minute talks, or, in one case, a pre-recorded video.
