For years, we’ve viewed automation as the ultimate goal: eliminating human intervention. Yet, in every system, there is always a 'last cell'—a point where someone makes a decision. The problem isn’t that this cell exists, but that it’s often left unplanned. Natural language has become code, and we risk moving from 'Excel chaos' to 'prompt chaos.' The real difference lies in knowing how to design where and how the human stays in the loop. A talk on AI, the dev mindset, and human-machine collaboration.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

We will stop "configuring" and start designing Infrastructure as true Software. You don't need a 1.21-gigawatt lightning bolt to beat technical debt: all it takes is the same care you dedicate to your applications.

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.

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.

The talk explores complexity as a constitutive dimension of the social and the living, transcending the myths of total control and rationality. In the age of AI, it is necessary to rethink systems of thought and epistemologies, healing the rift between the human and the technological. The future belongs to "hybrid figures" and managers of complexity: professionals capable of inhabiting boundaries and integrating transversal knowledge to govern the unpredictable and generate true innovation.

Our client, a leader in the Italian healthcare sector, manages a highly complex funnel: users often enter through campaigns targeting specific facilities or specializations but complete their conversion elsewhere.

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 Steal a Job from AI” is probably the most useless talk of the day. Because let’s be honest: AI is taking our jobs. Period. So what am I even doing here? Talking to you—pointlessly—about how to “make a difference,” while we’re slowly being replaced by something that doesn’t sleep, doesn’t complain, and doesn’t ask for a raise. But since we’re here… let’s at least see how to lose our jobs with style and elegance.

A dedicated discussion on Albania's emerging innovation landscape. The focus is on leveraging a young, digitally-savvy population and strategic geographic location, while addressing the need to strengthen institutional support and attract foreign direct investment to define "what matters" for sustainable national growth.

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.

The speech aims to analyze the relationship between law and artificial intelligence, examining the models of technological humanism and digital sovereignty in light of European regulation (EU Regulation 2024/1689) and national legislation (Law 132/2025).

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.

XR training is no longer just about putting on a headset. The XR2Learn project (Horizon Europe) has built and validated AI systems that detect learners' educational state in real time - adapting challenge, pace, and content dynamically. From no-code authoring tools to open-source affective AI models, discover success stories of how immersive, human-centric learning is becoming accessible to SMEs, educators, and training providers across Europe.

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.

AI agents are the shiny new toy. Everyone’s talking about them. Very few are using them in a way that actually drives Google Ads profit. This session cuts through the noise.

No vague theory. No AI fluff. Just a clear, practical framework for deploying autonomous workflows that improve performance and free up your time. After this session, you’ll know how to: Build agents that help manage and optimize PPC accounts Understand the difference between true agents and basic LLMs Choose the right tools for your agent stack Follow a step-by-step path to implementation Start using agents to grow your business and improve client profits If you want to stop watching the AI hype train fly by and actually put it to work, this session is for you.

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.

A case study concerning a complex segment, developed through a multichannel strategy (centered on search intent) within the medical field.

A reflection on the challenges that artificial intelligence poses to law, rights, and the regulation and governance of businesses.

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.

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.

The Strategic Communications Master's program at National University piloted a model to integrate AI into the curriculum. Over 4-week courses, AI literacy became a core leadership skill. Through "cognitive mentoring," students navigated bias and privacy while documenting their reasoning. Results showed increased ethical awareness and human connection. By moving from policing to mentoring, the framework prepares leaders to use AI critically without outsourcing their thinking.

The global space economy is undergoing a phase of rapid transformation and significant expansion. This dynamic is driven by a combination of geopolitical factors, the maturation of enabling technologies, and the strengthening of the value chain—impacting investments, industrial models, and strategic priorities.

This session will illustrate the evolutionary trajectories of the Italian Space Economy, examining both the national space supply chain and its progressive expansion into non-space sectors.

This session will address marketing strategy in an era where new, disruptive forces are impacting planning, execution, and creativity. Drawing on established frameworks, Giorgio Soffiato will explore the marketing plan from both a strategic and practical angle. We will analyze how to build a solid path that balances long-term vision with the flexibility required by today’s turbulent market, providing a clear roadmap to navigate uncertainty without losing sight of business objectives.

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?”

The Cloud was supposed to be a land of flexibility and savings, but for many organizations in Italy, it has turned into a black hole. Why? The truth, unfortunately, lies in structural incompetence. We are not talking about a lack of effort, but rather the organizational capacity to navigate at speeds that differ from technological ones. In this talk, we will examine real-world data and examples from the banking sector to determine the actual costs of these issues: from Monoliths in the Cloud, explaining why migrating legacy problems to new environments doubles costs without adding value, to "Hoped-for" Security and the economic risk of delegating security to individual goodwill rather than automating it on the platform. Finally, we will explore the solution through Platform Engineering: how to create a "software factory" that protects the company from human error and scales in terms of cost-effectiveness rather than price. A thought-provoking session for CEOs and CTOs who want to put an end to the costs of inefficiency and take control of defining the future.

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?

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 (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.

Being a great backend developer isn't enough anymore. The top 1% now works AI-first: leveraging their seniority to lead, while using tools like Claude Code and MCP to execute 10x faster. Join me to see exactly how I do it, in practice.

ADV and CRO are often managed by separate teams, yet their integration is essential. CRO is not just a UX discipline—it has a direct impact on the primary KPI that drives the success of many campaigns. It is no longer sustainable for media teams to overlook CRO, nor for optimization teams to ignore the quality and intent of incoming traffic.Having started my career in media agencies and now working at Contentsquare, I aim to highlight this gap and share practical ways to better integrate these two areas, drawing on examples from leading Italian brands we work with on a daily basis.

Why does a splash of rose gold often cost an extra 20%? From pastel laptops to "feminine" smartwatches, tech marketed to women frequently carries a steeper price tag without any boost in technical specs. How does the "Pink Tax" manifest in the digital age, and in what ways do superficial aesthetic shifts mask price gouging? What is the psychology behind gendered branding, and why should "shrinking and pinking" a gadget result in a premium? This session explores how we can demand equity in both hardware and the price tag.

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.
