AI Execution Summit Stockholm.
Where your peers share how they turn AI into real outcomes inside their companies.
Every session is a case study from a peer company you can see yourself in — not a startup showcase, not an investor day.
A note from the organisers
Most Nordic AI events lean toward startups and capital — founder pitches, investor panels, deal flow. This one is the opposite. Every session on stage is a case study from a peer company with AI running in production.
We built this to share how your peers have made AI work inside their companies — concrete examples so it's easier to do the same in yours. A day of what works, told by the people making it work.
A full day of case studies, honest trade-offs, and patterns you can take back to your team. The measure of a good session here is whether you walk back to your desk on the next day with something concrete to apply.
Nothing is recorded — no cameras, no audio, no livestream. It is the only way the people on stage can be honest about what broke, what it cost, and what they would not do again.

- 09:30 –10:00 30m Registration, coffee, and light breakfast
Buffer for late arrivals; early networking.
- 10:00 –10:15 15m Welcome
The execution-not-hype tone-setting from the host.
- 10:15 –11:00 45m Scania's ChatGPT rollout — decentralisation, team-based adoption, and what held up
Scania — heavy industry, a global workforce, 130+ years old — began rolling out ChatGPT Enterprise a year ago and chose decentralisation over a central AI programme: licences pushed out by the team, training structured around whole teams instead of individuals, and adoption measured by where the tool ended up embedded in real processes. The opening keynote walks through what they built, what worked, what they walked back, and what AI adoption actually looks like inside an established industrial company once you stop calling it a pilot.
Track · Signature
- 11:00 –12:00 1h Shipped in production — three case talks, back to back
Three 18-minute case talks with 2-minute transitions. The conference's architectural signature: concrete AI deployments that went all the way to production. Acceptance filter: no pilots, no POCs, no 'we're planning to' — only shipped systems with real scale, real cost, and real business impact.
Track · Signature block
- 12:00 –13:15 1h 15m Lunch — seated
Seated lunch.
- 13:15 –14:00 45m Past the pilot graveyard
Moderated panel with up to four panellists on what separates the AI projects that survive their pilot from the ones that die on the shelf.
Track · Strategy
- 14:00 –14:45 45m What we shipped, what we walked back — a year of AI customer service at Klarna
In February 2024 Klarna announced an OpenAI-powered assistant handling 2.3 million customer conversations in 35 languages, the equivalent of 700 full-time agents, with average resolution dropping from eleven minutes to under two. In 2025 the company publicly said they had leaned too hard on automation and were rehiring for complex cases. This session walks the full arc — the architecture that scaled, the quality signal that told them they had overshot, and the hybrid pattern they landed on.
Track · Production AI
- 14:45 –15:10 25m Fireside chat
Conversational format — lower cognitive load than a straight talk.
Track · Governance & risk

Drinks, food, and the conversations that actually move things forward.
Pre-event workshops
Hands-on workshops return on the afternoon of Tuesday 13 October, an optional add-on to any pass. We're finalising the topics now — and shaping them around what attendees most want to work through in a small-group setting. Three sessions run in parallel, 15–20 seats each.
Have a session you'd find valuable?
Tell us what you'd want to dig into — a topic, a format, or a problem your team is working through — and we'll weigh it as we set the line-up.

FAQ — Before you ask
-
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, and fireside chat is off camera and off audio — nothing is recorded, nothing is livestreamed. This is a deliberate choice. It strengthens candor on stage, keeps the room genuinely off the record, 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.
