Experience AI, instead of just reading about it
Artificial intelligence is changing work and everyday life, yet it often feels abstract, overwhelming and hype-driven. ahead x makes AI tangible: in one evening, live on stage, with real examples and people from the region.
No jargon, no sales pitch, just concrete applications you can use the next day, and a room full of people asking the same questions you do.
What to expect
- Live on stage, with real AI examples
- Concrete applications for the next day

„Linz has reinvented itself before. That is exactly the confidence I wish for with AI: not waiting until others dictate how it works, but taking the first step yourself, even when you do not understand everything yet."
