Four learning paths. Find yours.

⚡ Business Workshops
For sales, marketing, finance, operations, and HR professionals—no coding required.

Build and test AI workflows for documents, reporting, and recurring tasks. Explore what you can delegate, how to check the results, and where AI could save you time in your working week. Business owners and team leads looking for practical applications are welcome here, too.

🔨 Build
For AI engineers, data scientists, ML engineers, and architects.

Build more reliable agents and AI applications. Get hands-on with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluations, and observability to improve how your systems perform—and understand where they fail.

🧭 Lead
For executives, business owners, founders, and team leaders responsible for AI adoption.

Work through the decisions behind a successful rollout: where to invest, how to set clear guidelines, how to support your team, and how to measure whether AI is delivering useful results.

💻 AI Engineering Fundamentals
For people new to building AI applications who want hands-on technical foundations.

Learn the building blocks, from your first API call to a simple agent. Choose this path if you want to start developing AI applications and need a structured place to begin.

Bring a challenge from your work.

Use the summit to explore your options, ask questions, and identify what to try next. Through workshops, practical demos, and discussions, connect what you learn to the work you’re responsible for.

You’ll also have opportunities to meet AI practitioners, product leaders, operators, founders, and executives during breaks, the networking reception, and curated networking experiences. Access to the VIP dinner is included with eligible passes.
