Between action and word: working with Doctors Without Borders – from Gaza to the world
In humanitarian emergencies, you quickly learn that treating wounds is not enough. There are places — Gaza, Afghanistan, Congo — where the loss of human life fails to make the news, or is told through a filtered, dehumanizing lens. Yet, in these places, words can become an extension of the hands that heal: they can shake consciences, pierce the wall of indifference, and remind the world that silence is complicity. Being a humanitarian worker today means coupling the word of advocacy with medical action. But speaking out is not simple. It requires rigor and institutional courage, not just individual bravery. And it requires people willing to listen, even when what is being said is uncomfortable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Social Media Strategies
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.

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.

Measuring the Invisible: End-to-End attribution strategies in the AI and zero-click era
In 2026, the customer journey has gone 'silent': AI agents and zero-click searches now mediate interactions, making old click-based models and navigation tracking completely inadequate. This session outlines our proposition for end-to-end measurement that unifies signals from the pixel to offline CRM data, centralizing everything in BigQuery. We will shift the focus from vanity metrics to CLTV and pCLTV. We’ll explore why incrementality measurement protocols and Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) are now the only tools capable of proving the real impact of marketing on company margins.

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?”

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Out of Frame: how hybrid work excludes people — and what we can do about It
Work has changed forever, but hybrid meetings still don't work. It’s not just a technological issue—it’s an equity issue. Those working remotely are often invisible: they aren’t heard, they aren’t seen, and they don’t carry the same weight as those in the room. It’s called proximity bias, and it’s the true enemy of distributed teams. In this talk, we explore why this happens, what fuels it, and how technology can become part of the solution rather than the problem.

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.

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.

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.

SEO, AI & LLMs: 3 Real-World Case Studies of Effective SEO Strategies in 2026
SEO has already undergone a radical transformation. If your eCommerce performance isn't as bright as in previous years, you’ve likely already noticed. Between AI and the new SERPs in search engines, many of the strategies that worked until yesterday are no longer enough. In this session—featuring both an entrepreneurial and a technical perspective—we will analyze how to dominate the new Customer Journey, intercepting users within the Messy Middle of multi-channel searches. We will share data from our proprietary study of over 30,000 keywords analyzed in February 2026, alongside three real-world case studies of SEO strategies implemented over the last 12 months across different sectors. We’ll show the roadmap, the mistakes made, and the results achieved. This isn't just about numbers, but the "why" behind the decisions. The goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the tools to evaluate whether their SEO strategy is aligned with new paradigms or if it requires a reboot to remain effective.

The AI-Augmented Strategist: How AI is Redesigning Strategy
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.

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.

The problem isn’t the technology itself, but how it’s applied. In this talk, you’ll discover why many projects fail and how to transform AI into concrete automation that truly works, reduces costs, and generates measurable results.

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.

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.

Experiential Marketing: How to Organize a Pop-Up and the Media Strategy to Promote It
In a landscape dominated by advertising saturation, what truly remains etched in memory is not the message, but the emotion it evokes. Experiential Marketing represents the strategic response to a context of widespread inattention: an approach that places individuals at the center, transforming the consumer into an active protagonist of the brand experience. Yet, how does one organize an effective Pop-Up, and how is it promoted at a media level?

AI Agents are the new users: protecting data quality and decision-making between bots and real users
AI agents are no longer a thing of the future: today, they navigate your website, generate interactions, and complete conversions with such naturalness that it has become nearly impossible to distinguish them from real users. In this landscape, standard event tracking is no longer enough to block and filter "synthetic" data generated by increasingly sophisticated bots and AI systems. Consequently, maintaining high-quality data and making profitable strategic decisions requires more advanced bot-filtering methods. In this session, I will demonstrate how to protect your data quality by combining behavioral analysis — using tools like Microsoft Clarity — with real-time, AI-driven bot traffic controls. You will discover how to recognize the difference between human and synthetic behaviors, building an analytics system that remains reliable even in this new era.

Progettare un’Hospitality Scalabile: AI, Sistemi e Intelligenza Umana per far tornare l’ospite
“Abbiamo rifatto il sito.” “Abbiamo le camere vista mare.” “Abbiamo aperto TikTok.” “Abbiamo messo l’AI.” Perfetto. Ma l’ospite torna? Nel turismo 2026 la sfida non è collezionare strumenti, ma progettare un sistema scalabile. Social, CRM e AI diventano infrastruttura operativa per aumentare retention e guest satisfaction. La tecnologia organizza e anticipa; le soft skills gestiscono conflitti e imprevisti. Perché l’innovazione, da sola, non fa check-out felici.

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?

Come misurare l'impatto dell'adv di Meta con i Brand e Conversion Lift
Spesso le piattaforme adv ci raccontano una visione parziale e di parte dei dati sulle performance. Questo comporta scelte sbagliate: di budget, struttura adv, contenuti. Come possiamo sapere se davvero Meta sta contribuendo positivamente a rendere il brand riconoscibile e smuovere le persone verso l'acquisto? Per questo ci sono gli esperimenti di Brand Lift e Conversion Lift, ancora poco sfruttati ma che possono davvero far capire se quello che stiamo facendo sta davvero portando risultati e performance e in quale modo.
AI Is Rewriting Digital Media Economics: Measurement, Identity, and Adaptive Growth
Digital media business models were built on deterministic tracking and fragmented measurement. That foundation is collapsing under privacy regulation and signal loss. This session explores how AI driven identity layers, probabilistic modeling, and adaptive feedback systems are rebuilding digital media economics. Attendees will learn how to design measurement architectures that power sustainable growth across acquisition, retention, and monetization.

Conversational Analytics: The New Paradigm of Data Analysis
For years, we’ve built dashboards, selected filters, dragged dimensions, and then... we "waited" for the right insight. Today, the approach has been flipped: Artificial Intelligence allows us to interact directly with data, ask questions in natural language, and receive structured, concise answers ready to be shared. In this session, using real-world cases and concrete tools, I will show you how AI is transforming reporting. We will explore the shift from static visualizations to dynamic conversations, the transition from time lost in tools to time gained in insights, and the move from hand-built dashboards to real-time generated narratives. This isn't the end of data analytics. It is the beginning of a new way of thinking with data.

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!).

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.

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.

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.
