DEMOS ON STAGE
Most companies we work with are past the “should we use AI?” question. What they ask now is practical: how do we put agents into real processes, how do we keep control of our data, and how do we get past the first two or three use cases?
We’ve spent the last year helping dozens of customers do exactly this. The 9th edition is built on what we learned along the way, including the parts that didn’t go as planned.
/ Speakers /
The first confirmed names. More coming as we finalize the agenda.
/ Why Attend /
Last year the conversation was about sovereign AI. This year it’s about actually building and running these systems inside your company.
Grounded in Delivery, Not Theory
Content built on dozens of real AI agent implementations — what breaks, what scales, and what gets blocked internally.
From Copilots to Agent Systems
How teams are moving from chat assistants to agents that automate whole processes, and how they keep them under control in production.
Sovereign AI in Practice
On-prem, private cloud, public models: when each makes sense, what it costs, and where keeping everything in-house is simply not worth it.
Getting Past the Pilot
Most AI initiatives stall after the pilot. We’ll talk about why that happens and what the organizations that got further did differently.
A Senior Room
CIOs, CTOs, heads of AI, architects, and senior engineers. People who face the same decisions you do, which makes the coffee breaks worth it.
One Focused Day
A single track, a full day, no filler. You’re back at work the next morning with notes you can actually use.

21 October 2026
Welcome to the 9th edition
9:00 - 09:30
Registration & Welcome
9:30 - 10:00
Opening Keynote: Where Enterprise AI Actually Is Today
What has changed in the past year, what hasn’t, and what that means for your plans.
10:00 - 10:30
From Copilots to Agents
The shift from assistants to agent systems — and what it means for how you build.
10:30 - 11:30
Sovereign AI in Practice
What “sovereign” means once you have to implement it: hybrid setups across on-prem, private cloud, and public models, with the cost and latency trade-offs that come with each. Told through choices we made on real projects, including the ones we’d make differently now.
11:30 - 12:00
Coffee Break
12:00 - 13:15
Agents & Multi-Agent Systems
How single assistants grow into process-level automation. Orchestration patterns that hold up in production, guardrails, observability, failure handling, and the point where complexity gets out of hand.
13:15 - 14:15
Lunch break
14:15 - 15:15
Enterprise AI Adoption
Why so many pilots never make it further, and what to do about teams, ownership, budgets, and priorities. Less about tools than most people expect.
15:15 - 15:45
Panel: Who Owns AI in the Enterprise?
Centralized or distributed? IT or business? Platform or product? Our panelists don’t all agree, which is the point.
15:45 - 16:15
Closing Talk: The Next 2–3 Years
How agent-based systems will change internal operations, and what’s worth starting now.
16:15 - 16:30
Wrap-Up & Closing
Sessions and timing may still change as we confirm speakers. Attendance is free, registration required.
