AI for Civil Engineering
Artificial intelligence has entered the world of construction and civil engineering not as a future promise, but as a transformation already underway: from structural design to material optimization, from computational BIM to infrastructure monitoring, all the way to reliability and safety assessment. This revolution, long foretold, now demands to be guided with competence, critical thinking, and vision. This stage brings together academia, the construction industry, and institutions for an afternoon to take stock of where we truly stand and where we are heading. The goal is not to celebrate technology, but to discuss honestly what AI can do today, what it cannot yet do, and the responsibilities—technical, regulatory, and ethical—that this transformation brings with it, while keeping the quality and safety of works at the center.

During a humanitarian emergency, in contexts marked by conflict, hunger, and violence, words become an integral part of medical action. Denouncing injustice, bearing witness to survivors' stories, and celebrating their resilience is a form of care, especially in the many places far from the media spotlight. This is what the field staff of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) learn—a humanitarian organization that, for over 50 years, has combined medical action with the act of bearing witness. When silence is more terrifying than bombs or epidemics, words can become both healing and defense.

Artificial intelligence in tourism is no longer a future prospect; it is an immediate strategic choice. However, for many businesses—particularly SMEs—it remains an ambiguous territory, caught between enthusiasm and uncertainty. This workshop is designed to overcome that ambivalence and guide participants through a journey that:clarifies what AI truly means for the tourism industry today;distinguishes perceived risks from tangible opportunities;identifies practical and sustainable first steps for adoption.The focus therefore shifts from the question of whether to adopt AI to how to adopt it effectively and responsibly.

Beyond the Magic. From the “wow” demo to production: designing sustainable, controllable, and measurable AI agents
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
After the initial “wow” effect of demos, AI agents face their toughest challenge: production.Autonomy, reasoning, and tool calling promise powerful applications, but without proper control they can lead to high costs, latency, contextual noise, and unpredictable outcomes.This talk explores what happens when an agent moves from prototype to a real operational system.The journey starts from a concrete use case, highlighting the main bottlenecks: context overload, tool bloat, payload management, and web search.It also examines strategies to reduce context without sacrificing quality, guide tool usage effectively, and introduce budgeting logic.The focus is on designing lighter, more targeted, and more sustainable functions.The goal is not to limit the agent’s intelligence, but to provide it with a more controllable architecture.The session will also cover monitoring, automated quality controls, and future scenarios ranging from SLM + LLM systems to code execution.Because a sustainable AI agent is not improvised — it is built through deliberate design choices.

Digital transformation represents a strategic lever for improving the access, quality, efficiency, and sustainability of the National Health Service (SSN).

This presentation analyzes the opportunities and challenges of digitalizing Italian healthcare, highlighting the necessary conditions for technology to truly contribute to improving health outcomes, reducing inequalities, and strengthening a universal, fair, and sustainable healthcare system.
Building Revenue Engines for Impact: from Mission to Measurable Growth
Italian
Open stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

Training Empathy: How to Use AI with Care in Web Editing
Italian
Premium stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.
Organization is social complexity. For a complex synthesis between intelligences, both natural and artificial, and ecosystems.
Italian
Open stageKeynote
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.

Your Brand May Be Fluent in AI - But That Doesn’t Mean it’s Literate

Premium stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

How to avoid the enshittification of your content strategy. Less is better!
Italian
Premium stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

Micro language models for distributed agents: efficiency, privacy, and sustainability
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
In the era of autonomous AI agents, relying solely on large language models (LLMs) can become inefficient. LLMs require costly infrastructure, consume significant amounts of energy, and are not well suited for edge devices. In addition, sending sensitive data to the cloud introduces latency, bandwidth costs, and privacy risks. This talk introduces small language models (SLMs): models with millions—rather than billions—of parameters, designed for specialized tasks. These models consume less energy, provide faster inference, and can run directly on edge or embedded devices. Thanks to techniques such as quantization, pruning, and efficient fine-tuning, SLMs make it possible to move intelligence from the cloud to the edge, reducing latency while protecting local data. I will present use cases where SLMs are integrated into distributed architectures, from collaborative robots to IoT devices and federated systems designed for privacy preservation. I will also compare costs and performance with LLM-based approaches, illustrate optimization techniques, and introduce a method for migrating agents from general-purpose LLMs to specialized SLMs, following insights from recent NVIDIA studies. The goal of this talk is to demonstrate that micro language models are not only powerful enough for most agentic AI functions, but also represent a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to general-purpose models, enabling a more democratic and widely accessible AI ecosystem.

Using AI towards new medical breakthroughs: Building the (virtual) cell
Italian
Premium stageKeynote
In partnership with
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.

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.
Between the customer’s desire and the right product, there is now a new player: the AI agent. It discovers, chooses, and purchases — alongside people, before people, for people. Agentic traffic has grown by 8,000% in one year. But these are not just numbers: 72% of customers want more immediate shopping experiences, guided by agents that compare, select, and filter out brands. Traditional SEO is no longer enough: brands must now be chosen both by users and by agents. While marketing is being reinvented externally, a new organizational model is emerging inside companies: the Frontier Firm — an organization where humans and agents collaborate, transforming ambition, ideas, and intelligence into new business models. Two parallel transformations that, together, are redefining competitive advantage in the agentic era.

Beyond Generic AI: How Brands Reclaim Their Visual Identity in the GenAI Era and Why Performance Can No Longer Be a Guessing Game
English
Premium stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
Generative AI has theoretically revolutionized content creation. In practice, however, brands face a paradox: it has never been easier to produce unlimited volumes of content and it has never been harder to ensure that this content actually looks and feels like the brand. The result is an abundance of generic, interchangeable, visually identity-less assets that rarely deliver on KPIs. In a world where content is the most powerful brand touchpoint, this isn’t just inefficient — it’s risky. This keynote introduces a scientifically developed workflow that bridges the gap between brand identity and AI. It demonstrates how brands can empirically decode their visual DNA, align generative AI with it, and predict performance before anything goes live. Three developments sit at the core and they define the future of content creation: 1. From Generic Output to Brand-Specific Signature How the visual DNA of a brand can be algorithmically captured and why this is the foundation for truly differentiated, recognizable, and on-brand GenAI content. 2. KPI-Optimized Generation Instead of Trial-and-Error How content can be guided not only by aesthetics but by data, enabling more precise targeting, stronger relevance, and higher performance across the entire consumer journey. 3. Predicting Performance Before Content Goes Live How AI reduces human subjectivity in content selection, minimizes creative risk, and enables faster, more confident decision-making. The keynote blends research insights, practical examples, and learnings from data-driven brand communication. It shows how brands will use AI in the coming years not to simply produce more content, but to create better content; content that is on-brand, KPI-effective, and scientifically validated. This is how generative AI evolves from a creative guessing game into a validated system that unifies brand identity, KPIs, and performance prediction into one scalable workflow.

Drawing on the Ripple initiative, the discussion will showcase how regional collaboration, peer learning, and strategic partnerships can enhance the capacity of enablers to support startups, connect ecosystems, and drive more inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial growth across the region.
Most organizations are still running digital transformation programs inside an operating model built for human limitations. They made existing processes faster and more visible, but the underlying structure - siloed roles, narrow specialization, and fragmented decision-making - remained largely unchanged.AI transformation is different. It doesn’t just accelerate work; it removes the constraints that made the old model necessary. When systems can hold and connect knowledge across domains that no human can master simultaneously, the old boundaries between functions and disciplines start to lose their purpose. Execution can be handled by agents. Human work shifts toward orchestration, judgment, and defining outcomes rather than performing tasks.This is not an efficiency story. It is an architectural one. Organizations that continue using AI primarily to reduce headcount or speed up existing processes will stay trapped in the logic of the past. Those that redesign how work is structured around what AI can now do will move from an economy of reduction to one of creation -discovering new possibilities instead of simply optimizing what already exists.The real transformation begins when leaders stop asking how AI can improve the current model, and start asking what the model should become.
Inverting the Architecture: Breaking a Fantasy Football League out of a single tournament
English
Premium stageKoders FestKeynote
Sponsored by
The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world, and developers everywhere build apps around it to bring fans closer to the action. We wanted to join in, so we built a fun serverless fantasy football app for the tournament, one that handles unpredictable traffic surges every time a game kicks off. Then we asked: what if this wasn’t just for one tournament, or even one sport?We inverted the architecture, extracting a single-event app into an extensible multi-sport engine. You’ll see the production application and the real code behind it: how we isolated per-sport traffic with multi-tenancy patterns, modelled flexible data structures in serverless databases, and used event-driven patterns to survive game-day traffic spikes while keeping the frontend responsive.No abstract theory. We open the repo and show you best practices for building scalable serverless frontends and backends and that hold up when it matters most.

From Vision to Reality: How Digital Health Became the Present
Italian
Premium stageKeynote
In partnership with
In this keynote, Roberto Ascione explores the evolution of a vision that, over three decades, has helped transform digital health as we know it today. Drawing on the ideas presented in his book “The Future of Health”, he unpacks how the belief that digital technology could make care more accessible, sustainable, and human became a roadmap for innovation. With AI now accelerating every dimension of healthcare, from clinical decision support to patient engagement, from drug discovery to digital therapeutics, the keynote offers a clear perspective on how this transformation has taken shape over time. He shares lessons on which visionary ideas endured, how course corrections proved necessary, and why the most human ambitions, such as empowering patients, restoring the doctor patient relationship, and democratizing access, have proven the most durable. This is not a keynote about what’s coming. It’s the story of what has already arrived and what it took to get here.

Beyond Red Teaming: Building a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework for conversational AI
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
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 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?”

Incompetence as a Systemic Risk: The Hidden Cost of Technical Debt in the Banking Sector
Italian
Premium stageKoders FestKeynote

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.

From the very first vibrations and the provocative gestures of rock ’n’ roll, the silver screen sought to give a face to a phenomenon so closely tied to younger generations that it represented a tremendous opportunity for filmmakers and producers—far more than a simple curiosity or diversion.The rise of the music video through MTV and the widespread adoption of home video marked a shift from collective viewing experiences to television and private consumption, challenging cinema’s central role in promoting popular music. Yet this transformation did not diminish the imaginative power of the big screen. Beginning in the 1990s, rock films increasingly turned their gaze toward the past, focusing on memory and storytelling, recounting a history that often seemed already complete even as it continued its relentless evolution. The vast production of biopics about iconic figures in rock music is not merely a reflection of a trend, but also of a need to reinterpret the past and a desire to build its mythology.The aim is to tell the story of rock through the feature films, soundtracks, concert films, and documentaries that have best represented it over the past seventy years, tracing its defining moments through the transmission of sensations and emotions conveyed by sound and image.As Hermann Hesse once said, “To study history means surrendering to chaos while at the same time preserving faith in order and reason.” History is always the result of selections, perspectives, paths, and approaches that justify particular choices. This is our story.

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.

Don't call them Influencers – How influential patients are changing the way we talk about health online
Italian
Premium stageKeynote
In partnership with
Talking about illnesses on social media? That’s exactly what patient communities do: 87% seek information online, 79% look for connections with others, and 76% compare experiences after medical visits. This trend highlights the growing importance of influential patients who, drawing from their own experiences, provide practical and emotional support to others. In the talk "Don’t Call Them Influencers", we will explore their role in online healthcare communication.
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.
From Telemetry to Tests: Building Agentic QA Loops with MCP and Playwright
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
Sponsored by
The way we build E2E tests is changing. We are moving from static test suites and copy-pasted AI snippets toward agentic workflows where autonomous agents can explore applications, generate tests, validate assumptions and repair failures directly inside the development environment. In this talk we will explore how Model Context Protocol (MCP), Playwright Test Agents and runtime telemetry can be combined to create a real agentic QA loop driven by production signals and user behavior. Starting from a simple application, we will build a practical workflow where telemetry and real user flows are transformed into dynamic test specifications consumed by autonomous Playwright agents. Through live examples we will analyze:- Planner Agents that convert runtime signals and human intent into structured test plans- Generator Agents that produce executable Playwright tests while validating selectors and assertions live- Healer Agents that automatically repair unstable or broken tests- how telemetry and observability data can influence testing priorities- the guardrails needed to safely govern autonomous QA workflows The focus of the session is not “AI that writes tests faster”, but how QA Engineers can evolve from test script authors into orchestrators of quality systems powered by agentic loops and runtime feedback.
Accessibility and UX in Practice: From Training to Assessment of a Digital Ecosystem
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
In partnership with
How do you build internal accessibility skills and apply them to a real-world project? In this session, we present a concrete case study developed alongside a client in the digital financial services sector (payments, prepaid cards, and top-ups), featuring their direct perspective on stage. We will start with the training experience provided to the client’s team, designed to foster autonomy in accessibility analysis: from official guidelines (UNI CEI EN 301549 and WCAG) to the use of tools, screen readers, and evaluation methodologies. We will then dive into the actual assessment of the website and app, which identified over 160 unmet success criteria across various touchpoints and devices. We will show how these findings were translated into concrete design requirements, leading to a remediation plan and formal accessibility documentation. The presentation will be enriched by the client’s direct contribution, sharing challenges, organizational impacts, and the value generated. The goal is to offer a practical, replicable framework on how to integrate training and design to make accessibility a structural part of UX processes.
From AI Hype to ROI: A Business Framework for Reliable AI Agents
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
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.

Reclaiming Our Shared Humanity: Navigating Global Fragility Through Dialogue, Dignity, and Collective Responsibility
English
Open stageKeynote
In an era where international law is increasingly undermined, multilateral trust is eroding, and power rivalries threaten global stability, the very fabric of our shared humanity is being tested. Dr. Siyabulela Mandela’s keynote explores how today’s fractured world can rediscover its moral compass by re-centering diplomacy on empathy, justice, and mutual respect. Drawing from the legacies of peacebuilding and the enduring wisdom that liberty and humanity are inseparable, this address calls for a renewed commitment to bridge divides between North and South, state and citizen, progress and principle. Through a lens of diplomacy, human rights, and humanitarian action, Dr. Mandela will illuminate how inclusive dialogue and collective responsibility can reshape the international system, not merely to manage crises, but to transform fragility into an opportunity for lasting peace, shared prosperity, and restored global trust.
Turn Yourself into a Brand — Strategies and Principles for Effective Communication
Italian
Open stageBook FairBook Presentation
When you work on your positioning, you are not engaging in an exercise of vanity but in one of responsibility. It means building authority, cultivating presence, and generating trust. Investing in your personal brand is like paying a premium on an insurance policy for your career. You don’t know when you’ll need it, but you do know that moment will come. Every professional journey goes through crises, changes, and interruptions. It is then that reputation becomes the lifeline that keeps you afloat. The most valuable asset you can build is not a perfect CV, but a network of real relationships. Not just followers, but people who know you, read you, and have seen you at work. Connections that, at decisive moments, can open doors, signal opportunities, become clients, or offer support. Being a brand is not only for creatives or content creators: it applies to everyone. A lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer all need to be perceived as trustworthy. Because trust is the true currency that governs every decision. Cultivating your positioning means actively shaping the narrative of who you are, with consistency and authenticity. It is patient work that places you in the memory of those you meet. So when the day comes that you need that memory, you won’t be starting from zero: you will be drawing from what you have already sown. Is there truly a safer way to build your career than this?

The Agent Needs a Product. What changes when agents start using your software
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
Agents are becoming a new kind of user. They read docs, call tools, run commands, inspect state, and act on someone’s behalf. That changes how software should be built. Using examples from Codex and OpenAI’s plugin ecosystem, Corey Ching will show how to make products useful to agents: when to reach for a skill, MCP server, app, CLI, or a focused combination. The best agent experiences provide the right capabilities that give the agent the missing piece it needs to finish the job.
Brands, AI, and Generations: Designing Coexistence? Future Brands 2026: New Brand Narratives across Generations and Agentic AI
Italian
Premium stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
The question of whether to adopt AI is already obsolete. The question emerging now is more uncomfortable: how do we design coexistence with an interlocutor that is no longer just the consumer? Alongside them, increasingly, stands an algorithmic agent. It evaluates, filters, and decides on its own—and it does so differently depending on who it’s facing, generation by generation. This session focuses on three core directives: what "coexistence" truly means when the relationship is no longer bilateral; which trust asymmetries emerge across different generations regarding algorithmic delegation; and which concrete levers brands can activate to build narratives and positioning that withstand this new reality. The brands that survive algorithmic mediation are not necessarily the most visible; they are the most recognizable. The GENS Generations Observatory brings two original research assets to WMF 2026. Future Brands (3rd Edition) is a longitudinal study of over 6,000 respondents between 2024 and 2026, spanning Boomers to Gen Z. Agentic Moments of Truth is a new study by The Fool involving 2,000 respondents, designed to understand when and why AI agents enter consumption decisions, and what brand elements successfully break through that mediation.

The fundamental role of Artificial Intelligence is to build models from data that can describe their characteristics, predict their dynamics, and support informed decision-making.When AI is applied to sociotechnical systems (such as cities, hospitals, and mobility networks), it becomes essential that these models are reliable and capable of capturing the complexity of human behavior and social interactions.This dual requirement opens up research directions aimed at developing more realistic, human-centered models.

The next capital stack: Why community belongs at the table
Discover stageVC & Open Innovation FestWorld Startup Fest
The best European companies aren’t choosing between institutional capital and the crowd, they’re combining both. Three Community Funding protagonists operating in some of Europe’s most strategic verticals share what co-investment with VCs actually looks like from the inside: how community rounds validate markets, de-risk institutional bets, and turn thousands of small investors into the kind of ambassadors no marketing budget can buy. Anchored in data from the European Community Capital Landscape 2025 by Over Ventures, this panel makes the case for a new capital stack, one where democratizing access to venture-grade deals isn’t idealism. It’s just good finance.
Digital Accessibility: The invisible cost brands are already paying
Italian
Discover stageWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
Digital accessibility is a topic gaining momentum, yet its true strategic importance remains widely misunderstood. It is often dismissed as a mere technical or regulatory issue, overlooking both the concrete benefits it can generate and, more importantly, the cost of being ignored. In reality, every non-accessible digital experience has a direct impact on brand perception: it creates exclusion, erodes trust, and weakens the relationship with people. This is an invisible but tangible cost that affects reputation, credibility, and perceived value. In this talk, Eye‑Able provides a clear and strategic perspective on digital accessibility, highlighting how investing in inclusion means improving user experience, expanding market reach, and strengthening the brand. Today, accessibility is not just an ethical or regulatory choice, but a concrete lever for value and positioning.

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.

AI Decisioning: The Missing Layer Between Data and Activation
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

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!).

From Noise to Signal: How Music Is Reinventing the Relationship Between Artists, Fans, and Innovation
Italian

Three hundred million songs available. Streaming charts used as the measure of success. And yet music has never felt so disconnected. In the age of compulsive streaming, the industry has optimized reach while losing touch. Artists reach millions of people but no longer know how to speak to them: platforms collect the data and keep it to themselves. The model that promised democratic distribution has instead generated a monopoly. Streaming rankings are the most misleading economic indicator the music industry has ever invented. It is time to understand what real value actually means. In this panel, Billboard Italia and RDS bring to WMF 2026 both a diagnosis and a provocation: the shift from broadcasting to narrowcasting, from vanity metrics to value metrics, from Reach to Own to Belong. A conversation between publishing, radio, and innovation — three languages speaking the same language. Why will AI never be able to replace editorial curation? What do the data reveal that nobody has fully understood yet? Where does entrepreneurship move when a market transforms? Spotify has 750 million users but cannot tell us the name of a single fan. Someone should probably explain that to them — or perhaps it is already too late.

While we discuss chatbots and virtual assistants, artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping the foundations of our civilization, transforming balances we thought immutable. In this new book, Davide Casaleggio abandons theoretical speculation to lead us, with data in hand, through seven fundamental revolutions that are already rewriting our present. We will discover that healthcare is preparing for absolutely precise diagnostics, capable of anticipating diseases before they even manifest, and that medical research promises to defeat biological aging, opening up unprecedented scenarios for the length and quality of each of our lives. The economy will function largely without the contribution of human labor, redefining the very concepts of production and value, while a single person will be able to manage, with complete autonomy, entire multinationals. Politics will also change radically, with the emergence of AI-generated leaders. By revealing how these scenarios don't belong to a distant future, but already affect everyone's lives, The 7 Revolutions of Artificial Intelligence offers us the tools to understand the most profound transformations humanity has ever faced and to prepare ourselves to navigate them with clarity and awareness.

Agentic Moment of Truth: the era in which AI decides with and for the consumer
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
AI can generate code in seconds. It writes copy, creates layouts, and suggests components. It’s fast, persuasive, and often… completely inaccessible.Invented ARIA roles. Non-existent color contrast. Incorrect semantic structures. Generic or missing alt text. Forms without labels. AI doesn’t know what it doesn’t know, and it produces outputs that look correct but exclude millions of users.The problem isn’t AI itself. It’s that it’s being used by people who don’t yet have the tools to evaluate its output from an accessibility perspective. And when the reviewer doesn’t know what to look for, errors slip unnoticed into production.In this talk, we’ll cover:The most common accessibility issues generated by AI (with real examples).How to ask the right questions to get more accessible outputs.How to use AI as an ally in testing and reviews.What every digital professional needs to know to avoid blindly trusting generated code.Because the future of the web isn’t about choosing between speed and inclusivity.

Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitTourism FestKeynote
Umberto Ghio, CTO of SIAS, one of Italy’s leading technology companies in the business travel sector, will present NORA AI, an intelligent agent developed when the concept of AI agents was still in its early stages. For years, SIAP has worked with some of the most important Travel Management Companies and business travel operators in Italy, developing platforms that manage complex booking processes, corporate policies, and business travel operations. NORA was born from a real industry need: simplifying and automating the management of corporate travel requests. During the talk, Umberto will share the development journey of the agent — from early misunderstandings in natural language processing to surprising capabilities, such as interpreting images and ambiguous user requests. Today, NORA is already used by international TMCs and companies across Europe, where it supports travel managers and operators in handling travel requests while ensuring compliance with corporate policies. The session will explore what it truly means to bring an AI agent from theory into real-world production, concluding with a broader reflection on the future: if intelligent agents become everyday work companions, how can we design effective collaboration between human and artificial intelligence?

How to Leverage AI for Conversation Intelligence: Driving Competitive Advantage in Sales
Italian
Discover stageAI Global SummitKeynote
Every day, thousands of conversations between sales reps and customers produce valuable data that no CRM captures: real objections, buying signals, and recurring mistakes. Globally, Conversation Intelligence is a billion-dollar market; in Italy, it is still in its infancy. Andrea di Foggia, founder of askmentor, uses real-world data to demonstrate how systematic sales conversation analysis allows for the identification of correlations invisible to the human eye—such as success rates jumping from 1% to as high as 92% when specific corporate protocols are followed. The talk explores how to generate corrective actions for every salesperson and fuel marketing with the actual language used by customers. Through a practical demonstration, this session explores why companies that start digitalizing their conversations today will build a lasting competitive edge.

I’ll Show You Without Telling You: EUDI Wallet, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and Verifiable Delegations
Italian
Premium stageRound Table
Powered by
Today, many digital services still work like this: to verify something, they ask for everything—full identity documents, personal data, copies that end up stored and circulating, and trust that someone will handle them properly.With the EUDI Wallet and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, a different model becomes possible: proving a requirement without exposing the data that proves it, and using those proofs inside real-world processes.In this demo, we start from a concrete use case: identifying yourself, purchasing a discounted ticket for an event, storing it in your wallet, and presenting it at the entrance. Then we take it a step further: delegating the operation to an agent, but with precise, verifiable, and revocable rules.Not “the agent can do whatever it wants,” but “the agent can only do this specific action, within these limits, using only the necessary proofs.”Digital identity, verifiable credentials, and automation thus become parts of the same continuous flow.

Personal branding, generative AI, advertising campaigns, client management, quotations, contracts, and much more: the work of a Social Media Manager is complex, multifaceted, and constantly evolving. This book will guide you through the path needed to truly master the profession, while keeping in mind the mantra that accompanies every serious professional: engage to convert.Anyone who wants to become an SMM — or who already works in the field but wants to stop being mistaken for a simple “page manager” — must first understand what distinguishes real Social Media Marketing from randomly posting content. In an industry where anyone can call themselves an expert after a €9.99 course, standing out means something very specific: analyzing, planning, measuring, and optimizing. And doing so by intelligently integrating AI, which is not a shortcut but a value multiplier for those who know how to use it.

AI: Scaling from (linguistic) models to (economic) markets
Italian
Open stageAI Global SummitKeynote
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.

How I built my own intelligent Robot Arm from Scratch
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
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!
AI-Enhanced Threat Modeling: How to Reduce the Cognitive Load of a Security Architect Without Relinquishing Control
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
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.

AI Agents are the new users: protecting data quality and decision-making between bots and real users
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

AI is amplifying the capabilities of every organization. But what serves as an accelerator today will become a standard tomorrow. When every company has access to the same technological power, the only advantage that remains is the ability to resonate—with customers, employees, partners, and communities. It is something that cannot be codified, replicated, or purchased.That capability will not be a business tool.

Implementation of a Digital Home Care Network for Monitoring Vitamin K Antagonist Therapy: The INR PoCT Network in the Bologna Metropolitan Area
Italian
Premium stageKeynote
In partnership with
The project involved the implementation of a digital home care network for monitoring anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), developed in the metropolitan area of Bologna. These therapies, which are essential for preventing thromboembolic complications, require constant monitoring of the INR (International Normalized Ratio), a key parameter to ensure the treatment's efficacy and safety, particularly in elderly and frail patients. To meet this need, an innovative model based on Point of Care Testing (PoCT) was introduced, allowing the test to be performed directly at the patient's home. Nurses perform capillary blood sampling and analyze the sample using portable devices, obtaining rapid and reliable results comparable to those of a central laboratory.The system is supported by an integrated digital platform that connects local services with the laboratory and clinicians. Data is collected and managed in real time, and results undergo automatic validation processes using algorithms, ensuring high standards of quality and safety. The digital report is then made available to the physician, who can intervene promptly to adjust the therapy and schedule any subsequent checks. To date, the network involves numerous home care units and a large number of patients, with thousands of tests performed each year.One of the main advantages of this model is the significant reduction in turnaround time: from several hours required by the traditional model to just a few minutes with the home-based system. This translates into more efficient therapy management and a reduction in hospital admissions. Furthermore, the system ensures full traceability of the process, reducing the risk of pre-analytical errors and improving the overall safety of the diagnostic pathway. In conclusion, this experience demonstrates how the integration of digital technology and local healthcare can transform the management of chronic diseases, making care more accessible, timely, and patient-centered, with concrete benefits for both citizens and the healthcare system.
Longevity Economy: Social and Digital Innovation for an Actively Aging Italy
Discover stageVC & Open Innovation FestWorld Startup Fest
The demographic transition demands a profound overhaul of welfare, labor, consumption, and participation models: by 2050, one-third of the global population will be over 65. In Italy, this threshold will be reached by one in three citizens as early as 2030.In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a crucial enabling factor, capable of intervening across various fronts: from preventive and predictive medicine to drug discovery, and from the personalization of care pathways to the redefining of productivity in older age.This panel discussion aims to explore how a purpose-driven alliance between social innovation, open innovation, and digital technologies—with AI acting as a cross-cutting infrastructure—can promote active and sustainable aging, transforming demographic challenges into genuine levers for development.
"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?
In my speech, I share my personal journey toward a more conscious sustainability—one that began long before I started discussing it on social media. Drawing on my experience as a content creator, I explore the complexities of communicating these themes online today without falling into extremism, guilt, or unrealistic models of perfection. "Imperfect Sustainability" reflects on how small, concrete, daily changes can impact not only our habits but also the way we view the world, consume, choose, and build awareness. Because sustainability is not just about the environment; it is about developing a more critical, ethical, and responsible outlook on the reality that surrounds us.

Mockumentary as a tool to expose digital narratives
Italian
Open stageInnovation Film FestRound Table
As part of the National Cinema and Images for School Plan (CIPS) – promoted by the Ministry of Culture (MiC) and the Ministry of Education and Merit (MIM) – and inspired by Fellini's «The Clowns», this project utilizes the mockumentary genre as a tool for visual education. Spanning between the Riviera (Rimini, Cesenatico, Villa Marina) and the Bidente Valley hinterland (Civitella, Cusercoli, and Galeata), primary and secondary school students are filming fake documentaries to discover how images construct and manipulate reality, providing a practical gym for critical thinking.
Economic power in the nineteenth century belonged to nations rich in iron and coal. In the twentieth century, oil and gas became the main drivers of development. Today, the key players behind global growth are the elements classified as rare earths, together with other critical raw materials.

Every day we get more advanced LLM models. Since the beginning of the new AI era, they have touched many sides of our work life. We now have things like “vibe coding”, where engineers are no longer writing code line-by-line but operating with complex pieces of architecture. Artificial Intelligence has shaken the market and shifted it significantly. Almost no decision today is made without consulting AI, directly or indirectly. I’ve seen leaders take important decisions purely based on ChatGPT answers and fail to deliver what was promised. At the same time, I’ve seen developers spend weeks on simple tasks full of boilerplate that could be accomplished with CoPilot in 10–15 minutes. The real question is how to keep the balance between replacing human intelligence with artificial intelligence. Is it a good strategy to hire one “vibe coder” instead of three developers? Do we need to teach developers in the old-school way, or should we throw away all Uncle Bob books and trust Cursor? As developers, leaders, and managers, we are always in a state of needing to stay updated in this fast-changing environment. This is exactly the topic of my talk — not providing final answers but asking the questions that help us think in the right direction. The answers must be found by everyone within their own environment.

Conversational Analytics: The New Paradigm of Data Analysis
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
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.

Why Most Scaled Content Fails: A Framework for AI, Trust & SEO at Enterprise Scale
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitWeb Marketing FestivalKeynote
Scaling content with AI has made production faster — but also easier to get wrong. At enterprise scale, most automated content fails: it becomes generic, lacks differentiation, and gradually erodes trust, impacting both SEO performance and user value. In this session, I will present a practical framework to identify, fix, and prevent low-value content at scale, based on real-world application in a large European product platform. You will learn: Why most scaled content fails (and how to recognize early warning signals) How to decide what can be automated vs what must remain human How to design scalable content features that create real value (pros & cons, Q&A, expertise signals) How to combine AI, editorial rules, and data feedback loops into a controlled system How to measure content usefulness beyond traffic with actionable KPIs This is not about producing more content — but about building a system that scales quality, trust, and long-term SEO performance.
Video has broken the rules of advertising: today every platform aims to cover the entire funnel, the boundaries between branding and performance have dissolved, and planning media without a solid method means wasting budget. A clear example is Connected TV: a big screen, real attention, precise targeting, and purchase data that traditional linear TV could never provide, with an impact on brand building that is now comparable. Numbers, real case studies, and a clear perspective from someone who plans over 50 media plans a year and manages tens of millions of euros in advertising. You leave with an operational compass — the Media Plan Compass — to stop asking the wrong questions and start building media plans that win in the long term.

Can AI prevent wars? From cyberwar to PeaceTech: how AI transforms global security
Italian
Govtech SummitRound Table
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping geopolitics. Today, digital technologies are increasingly used for cybersecurity, intelligence, and strategic competition between states. But what if these same technologies could also be used to prevent conflicts? In recent years, a new field has emerged at the intersection of technology, governance, and diplomacy: PeaceTech. Based on research and projects developed by the Agency for Peacebuilding in collaboration with national and international institutions, this keynote explores how AI, data analysis, and digital platforms can contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding. From AI-powered early warning systems capable of analyzing vast amounts of data to identify signals of violence, to digital platforms that enable local communities to participate in mediation processes, technology is opening new possibilities for anticipating crises rather than reacting when it is already too late. At the same time, governments and international organizations are increasingly investing in strategic foresight and anticipatory governance, aiming to move from a reactive approach—intervening after a crisis has already erupted—to a model focused on risk anticipation and prevention. The Agency for Peacebuilding proposes a fireside chat between experts in peacebuilding and artificial intelligence to explore one of the most compelling and urgent questions of our time: if technology is changing the way we fight wars, can it also change the way we build peace?

A venue, a date, a lineup… but no ticketing platform. A joke, or a stroke of genius?Live events with exclusive and innovative formats have been widely discussed for years. From the global case of the Fyre Festival—which sold fantasies that never materialized and ended in a global scandal—to local cases such as festivals like Beyond Fears, which have made invite-only access and a sense of belonging their core identity and business model. Two opposite stories, one shared starting point: the idea that experience is worth more than the show itself.Successful examples such as Soho House, the exclusive private members’ club for artists and creatives founded in 1995, have paved the way for the community-based model. What is the secret ingredient?It is no longer about designing the most inclusive and participatory format, but rather about finding the one that reflects who you are, engaging you and your circle within a true community. What makes these formats special, and what distinguishes them from simple luxury? What is the added value of the “community event”? And what does the cultural and social elitism of these events actually represent?

English
Discover stageAI Global SummitKeynote
We often celebrate specialization – and rightly so. It built the world we depend on today. But in a world shaped by AI, rapid change, and problems that haven't been named yet, specialization alone is becoming a massive risk. When the ground shifts, we’re suddenly asked to connect ideas across teams and disciplines before we’ve even defined what the problem is. In this landscape, a leader’s value isn't just delivering information; it's the ability to bridge disparate worlds to drive actual transformation. I call this the Identity Economy. I’m going to share a framework for becoming an "Identity Architect" – a leader who synthesizes cross-disciplinary knowledge to solve problems that don’t have a playbook. This isn’t theory, but lived experience built from the “zig-zags” of my own career – from a PhD lab milking spiders for venom, to radio production, to founding two tech ventures, and now leading Product and Data strategy at Springer Nature. I’ll share the frameworks I use today to stop teams from talking past each other, using the same principles I used back in the lab to keep myself from getting bitten by a tarantula.

Today, content costs nothing—so it’s no longer a competitive advantage; it’s noise.The real problem is infrastructural: billions of AI-generated pieces are indistinguishable from human ones. How do we certify origin? How do we build trust without perception?Two perspectives rarely brought together—the Digital Marketing Manager and the CTO—come together to tackle a question no one can answer alone: who will build the infrastructure of trust in digital content?
Linear TV is evolving into CTV: today, video has become a format-agnostic medium, driven by the rapid growth of connected TVs in Italy.

From Writers to Reviewers: Rethinking Junior Developer Roles in the Age of AI Coding
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
Vibe coding is here. AI-generated code is everywhere. And many organizations are responding by cutting Junior developer roles — a short-sighted strategy that will backfire. This session challenges that assumption and presents an alternative framework: rather than eliminating Junior roles, evolve them into a critical new function — the expert AI code reviewer. The talk explores why AI-generated code (from Copilot, Claude, Gemini, and others) is still frequently low-quality, incorrect, or incomplete on the first try; why blindly trusting it is a strategic mistake; and how Junior developers, trained properly, can become the human layer that ensures code quality and reduces the senior-level firefighting caused by unreviewed AI output. A real consulting case study underpins the framework. Learning Outcomes: Attendees will understand a concrete workforce strategy for the AI coding era: how to evolve (not cut) Junior talent, what the "AI code reviewer" skill set looks like and how to train it, why this model is more cost-effective than full Senior reliance, and how it future-proofs the organization regardless of how AI coding tools evolve. This is immediately actionable for engineering leads, CTOs, and people managers navigating the AI transition.

Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
AI is evolving rapidly: from support technology to an agent capable of analyzing, designing, and acting within processes.In this scenario, the value of people is transforming: the importance of skills, the ability to interpret change, and leadership capable of giving direction, meaning, and responsibility to innovation are growing. Our role increasingly becomes one of orchestrating skills, data, technologies, and responsibilities, contributing to the governance of decisions augmented by artificial intelligence.The quality of this transformation also depends on the context in which AI operates: the culture it reflects, the values it incorporates, the data it is trained on, the infrastructures and platforms it relies on, and the rules that govern it. This is why digital sovereignty is the ability to choose and build a safe, reliable AI that truly serves people, businesses, and the national system.Let's explore the new role of leadership in the age of agentic AI: guiding innovation, developing skills, preserving human judgment, and moving from theory to action. Because governing AI means understanding it, experimenting with it, and transforming it into sustainable solutions, with a conscious, courageous, and hands-on approach.

A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like. For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-making, commanding 5, 6, even 7-figure pricetags to provide the scaffolding needed for insights. The LLMs now threaten that entire landscape, disrupting the foundation of data-driven workflows. True, the results of GenAI can be inaccurate, but their ease of use and relatively low cost will trump those concerns. Check out this hard-hitting session to hear DM Radio Host, Eric Kavanagh explain what's happening and why it matters to analysts everywhere.

K-pop: The Model That Has Rewritten the Rules
Open stageMusic FestRound Table
Powered by
K-pop is not a music genre; it is a system. An ecosystem built around a relationship between artist and fan that has no precedent in the history of contemporary music: the concept of the superfan finds its most complete expression in K-pop, shaped by collecting culture, shared rituals, dedicated platforms, and a level of loyalty that turns every release into a collective event. It is no coincidence that Korean major labels have always relied heavily on social platforms—above all the purpose-built platform Weverse—and that fans themselves experience it through X: spaces where fans and idols communicate directly, in real time, on a global scale. But K-pop does not exist only online: it has become one of the most powerful tools of cultural soft power in the decade, with idols now acting as the perfect brand ambassadors for fashion, luxury, and lifestyle, and with Korean dramas further amplifying this influence far beyond Asia. But is the K-pop model exportable? If so, what is needed for it to work outside Korea—and what, instead, is fundamentally untranslatable?

Why does AI agent design fail? More often than not, the issue is not the technology itself, but the design behind it. Service Design provides a framework for building agents that truly work: journey mapping, touchpoint design, and integration into existing workflows. MCP servers represent a key infrastructural layer, enabling agents to connect with external data and services while unlocking new experiences that transform software into intelligent collaborators and establish more advanced interaction models. From service blueprint to production, the approach is systemic, combining design and development through tools such as Figma, Claude Code, Replit, and vibe coding. A real-world case study on the design of an AI agent will also be presented.

When Your Team is AI: Designing Multi-Agent Workflows
Italian
Premium stageAI Global SummitKoders FestKeynote
In modern software teams, the critical parts of the development lifecycle — code reviews, requirement clarification, and test design — are still manual, inconsistent, and hard to scale. What if these responsibilities could be delegated to a team of AI agents? In this talk, it is presented a real-world system built using n8n and OpenClaw that augments the software development lifecycle through collaborative AI agents. We start from a practical use case: an AI-powered code review agent triggered on Bitbucket pull requests. This agent analyzes code changes, validates them against internal guidelines, and checks alignment with Jira tickets and acceptance criteria. From there, we evolve the system into a multi-agent architecture: - a Product Manager agent that refines and structures requirements, - a Developer agent that performs context-aware code reviews, - a QA agent that generates test cases and identifies edge scenarios. Rather than relying on a single general-purpose LLM, this approach models how real teams work: through specialized roles, structured artifacts, and coordinated workflows. The talk will cover: - how to design agent responsibilities and boundaries, - how to orchestrate agents using workflow automation, - lessons learned from building and running such a system, - and common pitfalls when moving from single-agent to multi-agent architectures. Attendees will leave with practical design patterns to build their own AI-driven development workflows — and a new perspective on what “AI teammates” can actually mean in production systems.

The Authenticity Paradox: Solving Fashion's Fit Crisis with GenAI
English
Premium stageAI Global SummitE-commerce FestKeynote
I've managed high-volume photoshoots across Asia. Traditional workflows break at scale. GenAI fundamentally changes this: shoot once, generate authentic variants across diverse bodies, regions, and contexts—eliminating the need for multiple shoots. The real margin killer isn't just production cost—it's returns from fit anxiety. This talk reveals how GenAI reduces shooting frequency while enabling authentic diversity, closing fashion's returns loop. It's not about replacing photographers with AI. It's about replacing repetitive shoots with intelligent content multiplication at scale through new systems.
