    Request invitation

    Private venue. Address revealed 24 hours before.

    People sitting and talking in a dimly lit vintage lounge, lamplight and old mirrors

    You don't need
    another panel.

    You probably spent enough of the day listening to people explain AI.

    This is what happens afterwards.

    Drinks.Arguments.Unexpected introductions.Questions nobody has a neat answer to.

    No presentations. No microphones. No scripted networking.

    Somewhere around the second drink

    Things we might
    argue about.

    I

    Who is actually accountable when an AI agent makes the decision?

    A chandelier lighting a dark old bar, bottles and glasses in deep shadow

    II

    At what point does an AI assistant become an AI employee?

    III

    Are companies redesigning work, or just automating yesterday's work?

    IV

    Will regulation slow AI down, or make it usable at scale?

    A group around a table in a dark bar, mid-conversation, drinks and candles between them

    V

    What happens when every company has access to roughly the same intelligence?

    The room

    You might end up
    talking to

    The Founder

    Building something that didn't exist two years ago.

    The Operator

    Trying to make AI work inside a real organisation.

    The Policymaker

    Trying to write rules for technology that moves faster than legislation.

    The Investor

    Trying to work out which AI stories survive contact with reality.

    And a room full of people who would rather talk than network.

    No agenda.

    One rule.

    Be interesting.

    Come with an opinion. Leave with a few new ones.

    There is no stage. No microphone. No prescribed route through the evening.

    The city

    Come for the conversation.Stay because it's Amsterdam.

    The first round

    Later in the evening

    One rule.Nobody is allowed to Google.

    • 01Who coined the term “artificial intelligence”?
    • 02Which AI system first defeated a world chess champion?
    • 03What was the first chatbot?
    • 04Which AI prediction aged the worst?

    Winner gets bragging rights.

    Probably nothing else.

    Where?

    You'll know 24 hours
    before everyone else.

    The address stays private until the day before.

    You'll get the door, the time and everything you need once your invitation is confirmed.

    Leave the summit.Find the room.

    Come as a delegate.

    Leave with a few new people in your phone.

    See you after hours.

    Tell us who you are. The room is kept small, so not every request can be accepted — if yours is, you will have the address a day before the evening.
