Stockholm · 14 October 2026
A one-day conference for the people who turn AI into real outcomes inside their companies. Single track. Off the record. Stockholm.
1.0 Manifesto
Most Nordic AI events lean toward founders, investor panels, and deal flow. This one is the opposite. Every speaker on stage runs an AI system you can self-select against — same kind of organisation, same kind of constraints, same kind of trade-offs.
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.

The execution-not-hype tone-setting from the host.
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.
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.
Seated lunch.
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.
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.

6.0 FAQ
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.
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.
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.
