From the Summit stage
Real cases here, not product slides
From big tech to public institutions, speakers tell what they have built, with numbers and limits. That is what the audience takes home.
- Real projects, with measurable results
- An audience of decision-makers, not onlookers
- Your name on the big screen, in front of the room

Guidelines
What we look for
- Original: your own point of view, not a summary of what everyone already reads.
- Never promotional: no product or book pitches.
- People-centred: AI seen by those who use it, are affected by it or govern it.
- Useful: the audience leaves with something to apply or rethink.
What to avoid
- Product presentations or sales pitches
- Book presentations
- Generic overviews seen everywhere
- Panels with speakers not yet on board
Themes
- Work and skills
- Ethics, rights and regulation
- Public administration
- Health and care
- Business and productivity
- Creativity, media and culture
- Education and training
- Sustainability and territory
