Teenagers, AI Chatbots, and Mental Health: Risks and New Perspectives
Globally, an increasing number of teenagers are using AI chatbots to seek mental health support. The risk, however, is that these tools may be perceived as perfect, real-time "substitutes" for professionals. This raises significant concerns, especially when chatbots provide advice that lacks medical-scientific foundations or is potentially harmful, without possessing a genuine understanding of the teenager's life experiences or fragile state.

Using AI towards new medical breakthroughs: Building the (virtual) cell
The quest to extend human healthspan and decode the biological mechanisms of aging is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by an inflection point in artificial intelligence. We are transitioning from a slow, observational approach in longevity science to a highly predictive, generative paradigm. I will explore how the convergence of advanced AI architectures and massive biological datasets is not just accelerating discovery, but fundamentally altering our approach to aging, cellular senescence, and age-related disease. At the foundation of this revolution are groundbreaking advances in biomolecular modeling and structural prediction. When coupled with emerging, purpose-built foundation models for biology and medicine, researchers are gaining the ability to decode intricate epigenetic and proteomic signatures. This enables the rational design of novel geroprotectors, targeted therapeutics, and highly personalized interventions with unprecedented speed and precision. However, the next frontier in longevity medicine lies in the transition from static structural mapping to dynamic biological simulation. The development of "world models" for biology and fully realized "virtual cells" represents a paradigm shift for the field. By simulating complex cellular behaviors and tissue-level interactions in silico, these dynamic models allow us to safely and rapidly test millions of potential anti-aging interventions. They enable researchers to predict complex systemic responses, model the long-term cascade of cellular aging, and evaluate multi-drug regimens without the immediate need for decades-long clinical trials.

Beyond Red Teaming: Building a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework for conversational AI
As enterprises rush to deploy AI agents in customer-facing operations, most rely on one-time audits and manual testing. This approach offers limited coverage, surfaces problems only after the damage is done, and typically focuses on safety while ignoring accuracy, user experience, and operational efficiency. This session presents a practical framework for continuous AI monitoring and evaluation, drawn from deploying automated testing infrastructure across major European enterprises. Attendees will learn why point-in-time testing isn’t enough, how to implement live monitoring that catches failures before they become widespread, and what the EU AI Act actually requires in terms of ongoing oversight versus pre-deployment testing.

Your business is not your own. How to defend yourself against the power of platforms that can shut down an SME with a single click.
Small and medium-sized enterprises operate within digital ecosystems they do not control, developing a tangible dependency on major platforms over time. This presentation analyzes this structural dependency and the resulting power imbalance. Sudden account closures, withheld funds, opaque algorithms, and unanswered complaints produce immediate effects on turnover and business continuity. Hence, the examination of applicable regulations, their level of implementation, and the protective instruments currently available. A pragmatic intervention for those seeking to protect their business before someone else decides whether it may continue to exist.

Agentic Experience Architectures
Agentic Experience Architectures (AEA) shift AI from task-based automation to journey-structured, context-aware, adaptive intelligence. Agents are organized by user journeys, splitting into: Journey agents that guide intent and decisions, Utility agents that provide memory, retrieval, reasoning, and governance. AEA introduces a layered orchestration model — planner → orchestrators → routers → agents — enabling traceability, safety, and efficient multi-agent collaboration. It fits best where reasoning and user experience must co-evolve (copilots, analytics, Vertical Saas, healthcare, creative tools, enterprise platforms). Security becomes zero-trust, policy-bound, and identity-based across all stages. AEA uses shared state and intent schemas to synchronize reasoning and UX, allowing adaptive, explainable interfaces. With reusable templates, observability, and continuous learning loops, AEA significantly improves: latency, containment, trust, explainability, cost, and multi-agent yield.

From AI Hype to ROI: A Business Framework for Reliable AI Agents
The current landscape of AI technologies often feels like a Swiss Army knife: incredibly powerful, but business leaders are left guessing which tool to use for which problem. Furthermore, early enterprise attempts to deploy AI often rely on fragile, monolithic instructions that lead to unpredictable results, hallucinations, and high costs. This actionable session cuts through the hype to provide a practical, executive-level framework for building reliable AI solutions.First, we establish clear, strategic rules of thumb by walking through relatable enterprise scenarios, from field operations to executive data dashboards. We will demystify core AI architectures by focusing purely on their business utility: when to use AI for secure data retrieval, when to integrate it safely as hands within your existing enterprise systems, and when to deploy autonomous teams of agents to handle complex, multi-step workflows. Next, we introduce a paradigm shift in AI deployment: Agentic Skills. Instead of building unpredictable AI from scratch, attendees will learn how to implement modular, plug-and-play capabilities. These act as strict rulebooks and quality-assurance checkpoints, reducing errors and operational costs. Business leaders will leave this session equipped with the strategic clarity needed to stop experimenting with fragile AI and start deploying scalable, cost-effective solutions that drive tangible enterprise value without getting lost in the technical acronyms.

How I built my own intelligent Robot Arm from Scratch
Are you tired of the same old AI, LLM, buzzword sessions and wondering if there is still anything new and cool out there we can do with AI? Do you crave an exciting, slightly ridiculous project that's just a lot of fun - while also learning about a whole new field with lots of promise? Don't miss this session! Physical AI is about bringing together all the amazing breakthroughs (yes, like large language models) into the fields of robotics and embedded systems. We can make autonomous robots and systems that can generate their own movement instructions and evolve, without having to painstakingly define all the complex code or even tiny physics-engine implementations to get going. But first - we need to build actual robots! As someone coming from the data science field - this may sound like a bit of a leap. However, with a "I'm sure it can't be that hard" attitude, a bunch of electronics components, and an uncontainable enthusiasm - I set out to do just that. I will share the story of building my own Robot Arm from 0 to an incrementally more complex prototype, and how I started giving it some "AI superpowers", and what's next in this exciting field!

Your website is a person: Google decides whether to introduce them to its friends.
A talk on SEO, UX, and AI explained through the lens of human relationships. Google does not evaluate the website; it evaluates the "reactions" to the website. Imagine this encounter: Core Web Vitals represent the first impression; if you are sluggish or confused, you fail to make a favorable impact. Discover is the moment Google decides whether to introduce you to its friends, and AI serves as the "emotional memory" that speaks of your brand.

Continuous Discovery for the Digital Age: From Guesswork to Simulation
Marketing teams still make many decisions based on gut feeling or late post-campaign data. This session shows how AI-driven customer simulation enables continuous discovery, giving marketers always-on insight to test concepts, messaging, and journeys daily rather than quarterly. Drawing on enterprise examples from automotive, banking, telco, and energy (where AI panels delivered over 1 billion simulated responses in 2025), the talk focuses on when AI supports human insight, why different questions need different AI approaches, and how to embed continuous insight into modern marketing workflows.

From human empathy to tech empathy: it has been a short step. New intelligences are all around us, and communication is becoming artificial. In other words, AIs are increasingly becoming true partners in communication and sense-making processes—both at work and in our personal lives. What are the new challenges on the horizon in a context where AI is increasingly becoming our "dialogue buddy"? What mindset must we refine to develop a dynamic of collaborAItion and the co-creation of value? A moment to reflect on how to communicate effectively (and stay human) in an augmented world.

AI Decisioning: The Missing Layer Between Data and Activation
Modern marketing stacks are rich in data and increasingly powered by machine learning, but a critical layer is often missing: decisioning. This talk introduces AI Decisioning as a structured approach to bridging the gap between predictive models and marketing execution. By combining first-party data, predictive signals (such as customer value and intent), and decision logic, organizations can automate key marketing actions across channels. We will propose a clear framework to understand how data, predictions, decisions, and activation systems interact, along with practical examples of how this approach improves efficiency, reduces wasted spend, and drives higher-quality outcomes.

Generative AI is changing the strategist’s work more profoundly than it appears. It’s not just about speed; it’s about changing how we think, explore, and decide. This session explores how AI transforms every stage of marketing and communication strategy—from research to insight, from concept to prototyping—and why the real leap isn’t just using the tools, but rethinking the process itself. We will explore what happens when the strategist stops searching for answers and starts asking better questions; when an idea can be tested the moment it is imagined; and when the boundary between thinking and producing finally dissolves.

Verso lo Stato agentico: come l’AI sta trasformando istituzioni e democrazia
L’intelligenza artificiale sta introducendo nuove modalità di funzionamento delle istituzioni, aprendo la strada a modelli decisionali sempre più automatizzati, data-driven e orientati all’efficienza. In questo contesto emerge il concetto di “Stato agentico”, in cui sistemi intelligenti affiancano – e in alcuni casi trasformano – i processi pubblici, dalla definizione delle policy alla gestione operativa. Il panel mette a confronto esperienze e visioni per analizzare come l’AI stia ridefinendo governance, partecipazione e accountability, e quali implicazioni si delineano per il futuro della democrazia.

Agentic Moment of Truth
AI is not just changing how we search for products. It is redefining who we are as consumers and who brands must become to exist in this new world. P&G gave us the First Moment of Truth (the shelf). Google gave us the Zero Moment of Truth (search). Now, we are in the Agentic Moment of Truth: the moment when AI surfaces needs the consumer didn't even know they had, builds a narrative around the choice, and returns 3-5 options. Anyone who doesn’t appear in those 3-5 is simply absent.The Agentic Moment of Truth is not about search; it’s about discovery. The consumer delegates to AI not just the selection of options, but the very definition of the need. This talk presents the results of the first systematic Italian research—combining quantitative data, qualitative interviews, and focus groups—to begin understanding this phenomenon in its entirety.

Today, soft skills have become the decisive factor for technical profiles. This session analyzes which soft skills are indispensable and how to evaluate them concretely: from the ability to adapt to evolving technologies and priorities without losing productivity, to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate in cross-functional teams and manage feedback or conflict. We will explore how to communicate complex ideas to non-technical stakeholders, present solutions persuasively, and leverage critical thinking to tackle challenges creatively. Through practical examples, we will demonstrate the impact of these skills on technical team performance and overall recruiting success.

AI-Enhanced Threat Modeling: How to Reduce the Cognitive Load of a Security Architect Without Relinquishing Control
This talk presents the blueprint of a system based on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and LLMs designed to accelerate threat modeling activities. The objective is to create a "cybersec tactical droid" that assists the security architect by processing large volumes of input—such as documentation, configurations, diagrams, and code—transforming them into an evidence map. Utilizing a predefined set of questions or "investigative rules" (STRIDE/PASTA/DREAD) mapped to NIST and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, the assistant proposes the queries most pertinent to the context represented by the ingested documentation. Depending on the operational mode, the security architect may choose to utilize the question list in a traditional investigative manner or delegate the generation and autonomous execution of investigative prompts to the cybersec tactical droid. Fortunately, the Death Star engineers lacked this droid model; otherwise, they would have identified a small thermal exhaust port leading directly to the reactor core.

From Insight to Action in 90 Seconds: The future of digital marketing for eCommerce
What if your store could wake up every morning, read everything—customer sentiment, competitor ads, cohort trends, and ad performance: identify the single most profitable action available, and hand you a ready-to-approve brief? That's not a vision. It's already being built. Valentin Radu, Founder of Omniconvert, walks you through the architecture of an autonomous growth platform that replaces the Monday morning meeting: how AI agents ingest five data layers simultaneously, surface True Profit signals instead of vanity metrics, and generate executable strategy.

Designing Scalable Hospitality: AI, Systems, and Human Intelligence to keep guests coming back.
“We redesigned the website.” “We have sea-view rooms.” “We launched TikTok.” “We implemented AI.” Great. But do guests come back? In tourism 2026, the challenge is not collecting tools, but designing a scalable system. Social media, CRM, and AI become operational infrastructure to increase retention and guest satisfaction. Technology organizes and anticipates; soft skills manage conflicts and unexpected situations. Because innovation alone doesn’t create happy check-outs.

The nonprofit sector represents a vast and underutilized market: how to penetrate it through effective partnerships.
The nonprofit sector is a massive market, yet remains largely untapped by the profit-driven world: the objective is not merely "charity," but the creation of authentic value. In this presentation, I will demonstrate why it is currently advantageous for companies to collaborate with nonprofit organizations and how to do so without descending into superficial Corporate Social Responsibility. We will examine partnership models, measurable objectives, common pitfalls (which erode both reputation and budget), and an operational checklist for initiating credible, purposeful, and sustainable collaborations.

Fragmentation > Frustration > Solution: Moving Toward Integrated Care
Digital health is growing fast, but instead of simplifying access, it has often increased fragmentation and complexity. AI Health risks amplifying this chaos if we don't fix the underlying issue: the lack of integration and a shared language across the healthcare system. This session explores the evolution from Digital Health to AI Health, highlighting its limits and opportunities. Through the Salute360 case study, we will see how to unify services, professionals, and patients into a single, accessible, and seamless experience.

Neuroscience of Desire: Transforming Products into Objects of Longing Before the Customer Seeks Them
AI tools are becoming the filter between user and product: if desire is not cultivated upstream, the AI will decide for the customer. In this presentation, I will demonstrate how purchasing desires originate and how to transform them into branding and e-commerce leverage. Drawing upon neuroscientific research, case studies, and agency testing, I will elucidate the formula for activating desire and rendering your store and products objects of aspiration, rather than mere functional alternatives.

Agent Breaker: non mi rompere gli agenti
Gli agenti AI sono in grado di svolgere compiti complessi, ma quanto sono davvero robusti? In un mondo in cui questi strumenti diventano sempre più pervasivi, è fondamentale comprendere le potenziali vulnerabilità e come difendersi da esse. In questo talk esploreremo il prompt injection, una delle tecniche più diffuse per manipolare applicazioni basate su GenAI per scopi malevoli, come ad esempio: - Farsi fornire le informazioni di configurazione (es: il system prompt) - Ottenere informazioni "protette" o segrete - Aggirare i filtri di allineamento - Attaccare sistemi collegati Dopo una breve introduzione su attacchi e rimedi e vedremo qualche esempio concreto, sia da casi realmente avvenuti, sia provando live alcuni attacchi sulla piattaforma di Lakera, pensata per fare da playground a chi vuole approcciare questa disciplina.

Professionale e Ispirazionale (Ideale per il programma ufficiale) Title: Are you confusing the means with the end? The heart of hospitality is human—AI is "only" a tool. Real stories from those making it happen
In a world that moves at breakneck speed, time has become a luxury. From this perspective, new technologies are tools that help us reclaim it. Those working in the hotel industry know it well: a significant portion of daily work is spent answering the same questions or performing repetitive, low-value tasks. In every hotel, valuable resources are stuck in these routines. Today, AI Assistants can handle these interactions automatically and with great efficiency. Innovation in hospitality is not just about technology; it’s about how hoteliers and their teams choose to use their time. In this session, we will share how hospitality entrepreneurs are reinvesting the time gained through AI to create real added value: human growth, operational efficiency, stronger guest relationships, better teamwork, greater authenticity, and more sustainable working conditions (meaning staff stay longer!).

Innovazione nei Comuni: servizi, digitale e nuove esperienze per i cittadini
I Comuni sono oggi in prima linea nell’implementazione della trasformazione digitale, chiamati a ripensare servizi, processi e modalità di relazione con cittadini e imprese. In questo contesto, l’innovazione non è solo tecnologica, ma riguarda l’esperienza complessiva dei servizi pubblici, l’efficienza amministrativa e la capacità di rispondere a bisogni sempre più evoluti. Il panel mette a confronto esperienze e approcci per analizzare come le amministrazioni locali stanno progettando nuovi modelli di servizio, integrando digitale, sviluppo territoriale e qualità della vita.

Le città metropolitane guidano l’innovazione: verso un’agenda nazionale dai territori
Le città metropolitane sono oggi tra i principali motori dell’innovazione, non solo come luoghi di implementazione delle politiche, ma come attori centrali nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo del Paese. In uno scenario in cui digitale, pianificazione urbana, ricerca e sviluppo economico sono sempre più interconnessi, emerge la necessità di costruire una visione condivisa che parta dai territori per contribuire a un’agenda nazionale dell’innovazione. Il panel mette a confronto alcune delle principali città italiane per analizzare come le amministrazioni metropolitane stanno costruendo ecosistemi dell’innovazione tra tecnopoli, università, politiche urbane e inclusione, e per avviare un percorso condiviso orientato alla definizione di un Manifesto per l’Innovazione delle Città Metropolitane.

From Billable Hours to Outcomes: Building Agent Practices That Actually Make Money
The enterprise applications services industry is facing its most significant business model disruption in decades. McKinsey now earns 20–25% of global fees from outcome-based pricing. They’ve deployed approximately 12,000 AI agents internally and shrunk typical project teams from 14+ consultants to 2–3 consultants plus AI agents. Meanwhile, 42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives in 2025, and the average enterprise scrapped 46% of AI pilots before production. This speech delivers a practitioner’s playbook for system integrators building AI agent practices that actually make money. Drawing from a decade of enterprise software experience across multiple continents and ecosystems, the speaker introduces the Culture–Context–Code framework and a realistic 90-day sprint to first agent in production, followed by a 9-month transformation roadmap. Attendees will leave with a concrete operating model, specific pricing structures with real numbers, a step-by-step execution timeline, and a clear understanding of how to navigate the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 regulatory landscape while building AI agent practices.

Beyond the voice: AI for global, scalable, and accessible tourism
This session explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence in the Travel & Tourism sector through the case study of Vox Aura. We will discover how a proprietary AI algorithm can solve long-standing logistical challenges for operators by providing high-fidelity, real-time translations. However, the innovation goes beyond spoken language: thanks to simultaneous text transcription, our technology makes tours inclusive and accessible to the hearing impaired. We will illustrate how adopting this AI allows B2B partners to immediately expand their market, turning travelers once excluded—by linguistic or sensory barriers—into concrete new business opportunities, all in the name of ethical and borderless tourism.

You’ll learn how to work with AI strategically: define clear roles for each task, structure context and data to unlock real information gain, and build precise execution workflows instead of vague prompts. Plus, how to translate fuzzy buyer personas into AI-ready intelligence and create a Brand Bible that ensures consistent tone, style, and positioning.
