The backbone of Venture Café – come meet the community and make connections with all different kinds of innovators. How will you make your serendipitous moment come true?
If you are a founder, team lead, or a growing company, this is for you.
Many teams don’t have an innovation problem, they have an alignment problem. Priorities blur and tension builds between product, engineering, and leadership.
This session is a structured conversation and workshop designed to help teams locate where creativity is actually happening, and reveal where creative thinking is blocked. This approach will clarify your relationship with creative development; producing visible artifacts you can act on to regain decision velocity and strategic alignment.
Come prepared to engage. Arrive with a tablet or pen and paper, and your own creative language.
AI is evolving fast—and it’s not always easy to keep up with what actually matters.
Join us for an interactive roundtable where we’ll review recent AI developments, share key insights, and discuss what these changes mean in practice.
Bring an article, a tool, or a trend you’ve been thinking about—or just come ready to learn and exchange ideas with others exploring the space.
Questions include:
Where could AI act independently in your work today?”
“What would you trust an AI agent to do, and what wouldn’t you?”
“What are the risks if AI starts taking action on its own?”
“How do you see agentic AI affecting innovation in the next 2–3 years?”
