It's Art!
In my speech, I explore art created with AI, demonstrating how, within the horizon of contemporary art, value no longer resides in technique but in the idea. What truly matters is the one who imagines, not who or what executes. Thus, AI becomes a legitimate instrument of the creative act, an extension of human vision and an integral part of the artistic process.

Sexual health is not a trend: dissemination, taboos, and responsibility in new media
The objective of this talk is to provide critical tools for understanding how new media influence the narrative of the body, intimacy, and sexual health. Through a scientific and educational approach, the speech assists in recognizing the distinction between information, entertainment, and misinformation, promoting responsible communication capable of dismantling taboos without trivializing issues that have a tangible impact on individual and collective health. It contributes to the construction of a more conscious digital culture, wherein sexual health, education, and scientific information become instruments of individual empowerment and social impact.

Training Empathy: How to Use AI with Care in Web Editing
AI writes, rewrites, and synthesizes. It renders everything more accessible yet more fragile, as the loss of attention is ever-present: for this reason, it is essential to perceive web editing as a daily and conscious act of care in writing, source verification, and listening to the readership. Every action is composed of time, doubts, and concessions. And empathy? It reveals itself as a professional competence, enabling the recognition of the actual needs underlying a query and the expectations behind a click.

Building Revenue Engines for Impact: from Mission to Measurable Growth
Mission-driven organizations rarely fail for a lack of vision. They fail for a lack of structure in growth. After more than 15 years between international corporates and non-profits, building teams that have generated millions of euros for environmental and social projects, I have learned that impact is not scaled with enthusiasm, but with architecture: clear objectives, defined roles, sales and fundraising systems, strategic partnerships, and results-oriented leadership. In this session, I will share the practical framework I use to transform mission into sustainable growth, without compromising identity and credibility. We will talk about revenue engines, corporate partnerships, team organization, and the main mistakes that block impact-driven entities when they try to grow. This is not a motivational talk. It is an operational method for those who truly want to scale.

AI: Scaling from (linguistic) models to (economic) markets
The real challenge for businesses in the future will be to shift from model training to market design, from focusing on the engineering and "agency" capabilities of the linguistic model itself to the organizational complexity of the "instituting" assembly that instantiates and enhances it. This shift from "models" to "markets," however, will require a cultural and strategic innovation effort, a radical shift in the paradigms of value co-creation between automation, amplification, and coordination.

Transforming limitations into strength
As a child, I was told that my dreams were impossible. For years, I believed I was flawed, until I chose to transform every limitation into uniqueness. The most arduous journey was learning to love myself. Today, I am IroNadia: a bodybuilding champion and Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. My story demonstrates that diversity is not a hindrance, but an immense strength. True limits exist only within the ideas of others; overcoming them is possible, for ourselves and for those seeking the courage to rise again.

Your Brand May Be Fluent in AI - But That Doesn’t Mean it’s Literate
By now, most brands are using AI in some capacity. But few understand how and why these systems make decisions - which means they’re not actually leveraging AI. Joya Scarlata and Mara Dettmann, hosts of The Marketer’s Guide to the AI Galaxy, unpack the gap between AI adoption and real AI literacy in a session which challenges how brand leaders think about measuring AI success and what “capability” really means in the age of agentic systems. They ultimately introduce a more grounded framework for working with AI - because when everyone has access to the same tools, the real competitive edge comes from understanding what those tools are actually doing, and knowing how to steer them.

Neuromarketing in the AI Era: why understanding the human mind matters more than ever
Artificial intelligence can generate content, analyze data, and optimize campaigns in seconds. However, one fundamental element is still missing: a deep understanding of the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that drive human decision-making. In this talk, we will explore why neuromarketing and behavioral sciences are more crucial than ever today, and how to integrate them with AI to create truly effective communication, products, and experiences.

The synthetic truth: trust, deepfakes, and the future of information in the age of AI
Deepfakes are redefining the boundary between what is real and what is false. Through a study on users’ reactions to AI-generated content distributed by sources perceived as trustworthy, we will explore how trust is built in the age of synthetic media. Even when flagged, deepfakes are often misunderstood or ignored, amid polarized emotions and limited critical awareness. What happens to truth when everything can be generated?

How to avoid the enshittification of your content strategy. Less is better!
The Priority Prism choosing what to do, and what not to do. In recent years, marketing complexity has exploded: new touchpoints, new formats, new platforms, and new AI-driven tools. The promise is efficiency; the result is often fragmentation. Many content strategies start with a clear direction but, over time, become cluttered with disconnected activities—chasing trends, adding channels, and experimenting with tools. Output increases, but impact doesn't. This is precisely when 'enshittification' begins. In this session, I will present the Priority Prism, a decision-making framework designed for CMOs and marketing managers to restore order to complexity. The model is based on a simple principle: every piece of content must be filtered through a specific primary brand goal—whether it's Sales, Awareness, Positioning, or Talent Attraction. Every goal requires coherent actions and, crucially, specific sacrifices. Through real-world cases and practical applications, we will see how to use the Prism to: Select high-impact initiatives.Eliminate 'decorative' activities. Avoid AI-enabled compulsive production. Concentrate budget and teams on a few strategic actions. The thesis is clear: in today's landscape, the ultimate competitive advantage isn't doing everything—it's choosing what NOT to do. This speech is for those who feel the pressure to be everywhere but want to return to a strategy that is legible, coherent, and measurable. Less noise. More direction. Real impact.

Where is social media attention in the era of the infinite feed?
In 2026, the winner is not the one who publishes the most, but the one who understands how attention works. With a feed scrolling faster than ever—more creators, more formats, more stimuli, more noise—the real problem is no longer publishing more, but understanding where attention actually lies and how to capture it without burning out your brand in the process. In this talk, we will analyze how user behavior has changed on current social media, which formats are truly retaining attention, which dynamics are dying even if they still seem "trending," and why chasing the algorithm is no longer a sustainable strategy.

Responsible, Inclusive, Viable: Rethinking AI for a Sustainable Future
The current trajectory of AI is increasingly unsustainable -- the growing computational demands of AI systems carry significant environmental impacts, the deployment of AI can reinforce and amplify existing inequities, and the escalating costs of developing and maintaining large-scale AI models raise concerns about long-term viability and equitable access. Together, these challenges suggest the need to rethink how we design, build, and deploy AI systems—prioritizing broader sustainability considerations to ensure that future AI innovation is responsible, inclusive, and viable over the long term.

Creator Mindset for Brands: credibility, codes, and AI
Social media rewards those who communicate with an authentic and contemporary language: formats, tone, timing, and methods that creators have mastered best. Can a brand adopt that mindset without losing authority and recognizability? How do you balance identity and "native content"? And how can you use AI as an ally, rather than a shortcut, to make the creative process more effective? Social Media Troupe proposes a perspective to help companies build social-first content capable of generating attention and trust.

Nobody Wants You to Be Original
The audience isn’t looking for originality. They want to recognize themselves. They seek the comfort of the familiar, the confirmation of their own ideas. They want to see themselves reflected in words they didn't know they had inside. This is why memes, tropes, jokes, and formats repeat infinitely: virality is simply rewriting what everyone already knows, with a slightly different twist. We defend the idea of originality as a measure of value because we are afraid to admit it’s not true. Admitting that a content’s success stems from skill, context, timing, and a pinch of luck strips the magic away from the myth of the "genius." It’s a less romantic story, but a truer one. If anyone can remix, then anyone can succeed. And that is exactly what scares us. The myth of originality is overrated, but imagination is not. True skill lies in reimagining, recombining, and transforming what already exists into something surprising. Ideas explode when a familiar model is bent at just the right angle. If this bothers you, then ask yourself: “Would I rather defend the illusion of being original, or create something that actually gets people talking?”

Shaping the Sound of the Future: AI for Audio and Podcast Production
In an era where artificial intelligence actively enters creative processes, our conceptualization of music and audio is undergoing a radical transformation. In this speech, we will explore how AI can support audio and podcast production, examining the various creative stages (scriptwriting, musical composition, mixing, and mastering). We will analyze tools and instruments that enable the generation of synthetic voices, the transformation of one's own voice, the creation of entire tracks from text prompts, or the implementation of auto-editing solutions for podcasts. Finally, we will look toward the future: what will be the role of the musician, the producer, and the sound designer in a landscape where AI can both extend and redefine creativity?

Will Media: from follower to maker. How to transform a community into a self-sustaining ecosystem
Will Media is one of the most interesting cases of an editorial community born on social media and grown to generate events, formats, and real-life meeting moments. But how do you transform attention into a relationship that lasts over time? In this speech, we analyze the Will Media model and show how segmentation, personalization, and automation tools can take a community to the next level: an ecosystem where every interaction fuels the next, without depending solely on the next piece of content.

Musical Choices in the Era of Algorithms: Understanding AI to Rediscover Listening Freedom
Today, 75% of streams are generated by just 1% of artists, in an era where over 100 million tracks are available. How do algorithms decide what we listen to? In this talk, we explore streaming platform recommendation systems—from collaborative filtering to knowledge graphs—and the phenomenon of "musical filter bubbles." We will examine how a new generation of transparent AI can give listeners back awareness and control over their own choices.

Nostalgic Brand
Is nostalgia a seductive liar or a marketing lever? And why, in an era of distraction and infinite scrolling, should brands pivot toward the past? There has never been an era so abundant in terms of content; utilizing the lever of nostalgia signifies DESIGNING a narrative that functions within the current context: algorithmic feeds, creators possessing greater influence than brands, and short-form content. In this speech, we shall address emotional connections, storytelling, and the reminiscence bump. Furthermore, we will examine the extent to which memories generate revenue, identifying KPIs that will incentivize the adoption of nostalgia as a strategic approach. Products and campaigns that defined an era must now face a new challenge, maximizing the potential of novel touchpoints such as TikTok and YouTube, collaborating with AI, and respecting their own archetypes while simultaneously evolving. Implementing the storytelling of nostalgia is anything but simple: in this speech, we shall uncover the insights and secrets to transforming it into an effective marketing strategy.

Social updates 2026: how to use AI to adapt content, ads, and strategy
Social media are constantly changing: new formats, new algorithms, and new distribution rules. The real problem is not staying updated, but understanding what to do after each update. In this talk, we will analyze the main news from Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, and we will see how to use artificial intelligence—not to generate content automatically, but to strategically adapt content, advertising campaigns, and workflows. From reading updates to their practical application: what has truly changed on the platforms, what to stop doing, and how to use AI to test, optimize, and decide faster. A practical session designed for marketers, freelancers, and teams who want to stop chasing algorithms and continue working with method, data, and strategy.

Conscious protagonists? The protection of minors in the era of family influencers
In view of a potential law regulating child influencers, we wish to initiate a reflection. We have analyzed over 1,300 pieces of content from family influencers to measure how their children are exposed, in which contexts, and what differentiates organic content from advertisements. The result is a rather alarming picture, both in quantitative and qualitative terms (particularly regarding privacy protection and potential psychological implications).

In Praise of (Ab)normality
"You are not normal" is a phrase that almost everyone has heard at least once in their life, and certainly not as a compliment. But is it always true that it’s better to be "normal"? Above all, what does "normal" actually mean, and why is this adjective often used as a sort of club to marginalize those who don't fit certain models?

Why AI for Product Teams Needs to Be Multiplayer
AI has transformed what one person can do. But building great products has never been a solo sport. In this talk, Dave Ross explores how product teams are adapting — moving from fragmented AI usage to collaborative, agent-powered workflows. Using real examples from Miro, he’ll show how teams are rethinking how they work, build, and learn together. And why, despite all the change, the fundamentals still win: strong culture, good judgement, and the environments that help teams learn faster — from hackathons to Fail Nights, and the informal moments where the best ideas often emerge

Inside the Algorithm - The Illusion of Neutrality
An interview. A sleeping pill. A seatbelt. What if, behind their apparent objectivity, lay hidden choices, exclusions, and worldviews? This interactive talk takes the audience inside the algorithm and beyond, revealing a common thread: science and technology reflect society. What we call 'objectivity' is the result of historical and cultural choices—subtle, yet inevitable. The future isn't just in the code. It is in our hands.

AI and Podcasting: When everyone is creating, what makes us stand out?
AI has made podcasting fast, easy, and accessible to everyone. But while production is exploding thanks to automation, listening time remains the same. The question then shifts: it’s no longer about how to create content with AI, but how to avoid becoming invisible among AI-generated content. In a saturated ecosystem, what will truly make the difference? This session looks beyond the tools: to where it’s actually decided who gets heard.
