I will discuss processes, control, and performance, and how to use artificial intelligence to analyze negotiations, train the team, and maximize commercial results in a measurable and scalable way.

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

Offering your own SiteBuilder to clients is no longer a privilege reserved for the big players. SiteBuilderBuilder is the whitelabel platform that allows you to hit the market with a fully branded, flexible, and customizable website creation tool—without any internal development.

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.

 

In regulated sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and food, quality management demands complex processes, data analysis, and compliant documentation.

Companies have experimented heavily with AI, often in a fragmented way, and rightly so. Now it’s time to clean up the drafts and scale things properly. To do this, clear principles are essential to avoid building an internal Black Mirror dystopia. A talk on dev culture, organizations, and collective intelligence.

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.

In this session, we’ll explore how to transform AI into a high-speed content factory.

Discover how to scale your production while maintaining top quality, using optimized strategies you can implement immediately to accelerate your business growth.

n the automotive market, the challenge is clear: scaling volumes while keeping quality high. Through a real-world case study using PMax for Vehicle Ads, we will explore how an innovative test-and-learn approach can completely transform performance in a highly sensitive market. We will cover: technical setups, data-driven approaches, best practices, and concrete results.

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). However, the adoption of digital technologies and AI-based solutions does not automatically translate into useful innovation: it requires solid evidence, public governance, value assessment, protection of equity, and integration into clinical-organizational processes. 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.

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.

How we integrated artificial intelligence into the design process of the complex ecosystem of AISM, the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association: from defining the discovery mix to synthesizing insights, from the information architecture to content models, all the way to generating prototype content. Through a real case study, we will walk through the workflow, the tools, and the moments where AI added value—as well as those where human judgment remains essential. For now.

Participants will learn to navigate the convergence between executive communication and influencer logic, understanding its opportunities and reputational risks. Through real cases and strategic frameworks, they will gain the foundational principles to build a personal digital communication strategy that drives relevance and engagement while preserving institutional credibility.

In an age where everyone communicates, but few do so strategically, the risk is that the digital universe turns into pure noise. To avoid falling into hyperconnection and presentism on one side, and to navigate artificial intelligence and automation on the other, the value of presence becomes central again: not just as online visibility, but as the ability to build authentic relationships, guide communication consciously, and give it real meaning.A conversation between social media strategy and the culture of presence, exploring how vision, content, data, and authenticity can transform social media from simple tools of exposure into real drivers of growth, positioning, and impact.

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.

Information exists within your data that GA4 alone is not disclosing. Discover how Artificial Intelligence is rewriting the rules of CRO, enabling the extraction of profound insights that were previously technically unattainable. We shall analyze real-world case studies where the synthesis of data and algorithms has generated a quantum leap in performance, demonstrating how to revolutionize the strategic approach to your clients' projects.

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.

Internal communication represents the vital core of any organization aspiring to growth, innovation, and genuine employee engagement.

A practical approach to reducing errors, accelerating workflows, and making every document more "professional" without adding complexity to the team: from internal processes to documents for clients and collaborators.

How is an advertising investment turned into a measurable sales outcome? Every year, companies invest in advertising, yet they often fail to connect generated leads to actual business results. The issue is not a lack of data, but a lack of connection between marketing and sales teams. To address this challenge, YF Studio and Jenia designed an ecosystem of AI agents capable of collecting, qualifying, and managing leads through to conversion, providing full visibility over the sales journey and finally enabling a measurable ROI.

Contemporary crises reach us through images, headlines, and often fragmented content, filtered by the logic of media and digital communication. In a context where information, propaganda, and public perception are constantly intertwined, it becomes crucial to question who shapes collective narratives and which stories remain invisible. Spanning social media, journalism, and new forms of communication, this interview reflects on the relationship between identity, memory, and representation, starting from an analysis of the books by Randa Ghazy and Pegah Moshir Pour.

This session will explore how cross-border cooperation in the Euro-MED region can advance innovation and entrepreneurship support by strengthening the role of ecosystem enablers, including incubators, accelerators, entrepreneurship centers, and support organizations.

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.

In a world where AI is everywhere, the real challenge is not adoption—it’s turning it into a measurable competitive advantage. This session explores how leading organizations are leveraging AI to move beyond experimentation and drive real business transformation. Discover the Frontier Transformation approach, where AI evolves from a technology capability to a strategic engine for innovation, productivity, and sustainable growth.

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.

Brands can become an integral part of consumers’ everyday conversations, amplifying their impact and building authentic, lasting relationships that ultimately translate into sales.

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 applied to voice opens new possibilities for the non-invasive monitoring of patient health. Through the automated analysis of vocal signals, it is possible to achieve early detection of alterations related to respiratory, neurological, or vocal disorders. This approach offers innovative diagnostic and monitoring solutions that can reach large populations and be seamlessly integrated into clinical and home-care pathways.

In niche markets, where audiences are highly aware and relevance is the only true driver of conversion, mass marketing becomes a risk. The real challenge is using automation to scale a relationship that must feel individual and tailored. In this talk, we will explore how to design complex workflows to manage non-linear customer journeys, typical of those seeking specific, high-quality products.

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.

Le competenze digitali rappresentano oggi una condizione essenziale per partecipare pienamente alla vita sociale, accedere ai servizi, entrare o rimanere nel mercato del lavoro e comprendere l’impatto delle nuove tecnologie. La diffusione dell’Intelligenza Artificiale rende questa sfida ancora più urgente: non si tratta solo di formare specialisti, ma di accompagnare cittadini, lavoratori, studenti e organizzazioni nello sviluppo di strumenti critici, culturali e professionali adeguati al cambiamento. Il panel approfondisce il tema dell’accesso e dell’inclusione digitale, analizzando il ruolo delle istituzioni, delle fondazioni, della formazione e delle politiche pubbliche nel contrastare il digital divide e nel promuovere nuove opportunità di crescita. Al centro del confronto: alfabetizzazione digitale, competenze AI, formazione continua, nuove professionalità e modelli di collaborazione tra pubblico, privato e società civile.

The AI ecosystem is reshaping your role within the company and freeing up time for the work that truly matters.We are no longer in the era of chatbots. Today, every professional can manage a team of AI agents that access corporate knowledge and independently handle operational tasks.Marta, our fictional protagonist, does a bit of everything at work — emails, complaints, meeting minutes, research, reports, presentations — everything that consumes time without creating real value.With the right system, those agents understand her company, follow her procedures, and perform the work on her behalf. Her role changes: from executor to supervisor.This talk explores the principles behind this transformation and why the time it frees up is the real competitive advantage.

We shall operationalize a full-funnel approach designed to drive business decisions: objectives, audiences, channels, content, and measurement. From the initial analysis to the strategic selection of investment areas to maximize demand and conversion, culminating in a measurement system that enables continuous optimization and more effective budget allocation.

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

“How to 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.

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). The governance of artificial intelligence—based on risk, transparency, and human oversight—drives an evolution in legal principles and instruments, while at the same time revealing unprecedented challenges that must be addressed.

Designing for different platforms by finding common ground. A firsthand account of building a design system engineered to live across web, mobile, and TV. A complex, ongoing project, shared as it takes shape.

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.

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.

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 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. In this international and European landscape, Italy now stands at a turning point. 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.

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. You’ll learn how to build a safe, reliable system of AI agents that can take real PPC work off your plate, boost productivity, and help you scale without drowning in more accounts, more tasks, or more chaos.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Quantum computing is not only qubits and algorithms: control electronics is the layer bridging quantum and classical, and a determinant of scale. Drawing on a decade at Zurich Instruments, this talk frames the four challenges for next-generation control: fidelity, real-time error correction, cost per qubit, and software scaling. It closes with an industry view on how vendors, integrators, and end users must co-evolve the stack to unlock the Second Quantum Revolution.

Artificial Intelligence can only create real value when built on a solid foundation. This talk begins at point zero: the business diagnosis. Through AISMENT, we will explore how to identify where AI is truly needed, measuring ROI and ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act. We will then dive into NewDreamApp, a restaurant ecosystem that leverages MCP servers and agentic AI to manage dining rooms, kitchens, inventory, and delivery by interacting directly with the system.

There is a gap that many companies underestimate between a convincing demo and AI truly entering core processes. Fragmented data, unstructured documents, and real-world workflows put GenAI and agents to the test. The real breakthrough happens when we stop asking the company to adapt to the tool and instead build technology that models itself around the operational context. That is exactly where adoption becomes real and value becomes measurable.

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.

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.

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 wars in the Middle East that broke out after October 7, 2023, are not distant conflicts. They concern us closely due to the cultural, economic, and strategic ties linking that region to Europe. Crucial energy supplies, trade, and routes pass through there; every escalation impacts prices, inflation, and global security. These tensions involve major powers and new geopolitical balances, directly influencing our future.

In a market where CPC has tripled year-over-year, how can a leading brand maintain its efficiency? We will analyze an international case to understand how a surgical catalog management approach can help overcome the growing pressure from low-price competitors. In this speech, we will explore the strategy that enabled Britax to position itself at the 55th percentile in spend compared to top sellers, while reaching the 90th percentile in attributed sales—turning rising costs into a competitive advantage

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.

Here’s how we built our SEO Data Warehouse in BigQuery at Würth Italia. First-party data combined with data from the SERP and specialized APIs.

Most e-commerce users land on a Product Detail Page (PDP) or a Product Listing Page (PLP), rather than the homepage. Yet, the majority of sites are still designed as if the customer journey were linear. This session explores the "Discovery Gap": the disconnect between the experience a site assumes and the one the user actually encounters. Through Storeis case studies, A/B testing, and UI patterns, we will examine how to rethink PDPs, PLPs, and internal search to transform every landing point into an effective hub for discovery and conversion.

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.

Artificial Intelligence generates increasingly effective answers, but the ability to formulate questions, evaluate information, and make decisions remains uniquely human.
