AI Execution Summit.
Where your peers share how they turn AI into real outcomes inside their companies — not a startup showcase, not an investor day.
Made for people making it work.
AI Execution Summit is a one-day conference for AI, product, and operations leads inside established companies — businesses with real customers, real constraints, and a concrete need to figure out where AI fits in their organisation.
Every talk on stage is a case study from a practitioner who has shipped AI into production. Not a founder pitching a product. Not a researcher presenting a paper. A peer who faced the same budget pressure, compliance question, or integration headache you are facing right now — and will tell you exactly what happened.
Three speakers per "Shipped in production" block. Acceptance filter: no pilots, no POCs, no "we're planning to." Only shipped systems with real scale, real cost, and real business impact. Stockholm, 14 October 2026. 150–250 attendees.
"Most conferences celebrate demos. This one is about what happens after."

Questions.
Who is this for?
AI, product, and operations leads inside established companies — businesses with real customers, real constraints, and a concrete need to figure out where AI actually fits. Every case study on stage is from a peer company you can see yourself in, so you leave with patterns you can apply. It is not a startup showcase or an investor day.
What makes this different from other Nordic AI events?
The stage is reserved for practitioners at established companies who have actually shipped AI — sharing what worked, what it cost, and what broke. Every session is a concrete case study. The room is for people with a team, a budget, and a real problem to solve, who want patterns they can apply back at their own company.
Will talks be recorded?
No. Every talk, panel, fireside chat, and breakout is off camera and off audio — nothing is recorded, nothing is livestreamed. This is a deliberate choice. It strengthens candor on stage, protects the off-the-record Campfire breakout, and reinforces the premium 'be in the room' positioning. If post-event recordings are a requirement for you, other AI conferences will serve you better.
Is there a student or academic rate?
A limited number of reduced-rate passes are held for full-time students and academic researchers. Apply via the registration page; we respond within five business days.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 60 days before the event, 50% refund up to 30 days before, and transferable after that. Transfers to a colleague are free at any point.
What is the code of conduct?
AI Execution Summit follows a zero-tolerance policy on harassment or discrimination, on-site and online. The full code of conduct and reporting channel are published on the registration page.
How do I sponsor or partner?
We work with a small number of partners whose products we genuinely believe help teams ship AI. Write to hello@aiexecutionsummit.eu and we will reply with the current options.
