TRUESDAYS [OCTOBER 7]

​This October, TRUESDAYS goes on tour - and lands right in the offices of MAKE.
Instead of our usual venue, we’re inviting you into the home of one of the Czech Republic’s most successful tech companies to hear their story up close and meet the people behind the platform.

​MAKE - A global leader in visual automation, MAKE helps millions of users and thousands of companies around the world design, build, and automate anything - from simple workflows to complex systems. Founded in Prague and now part of the Celonis family, MAKE has grown from a local startup into an international powerhouse with a strong community of builders, innovators, and problem-solvers.

​In this special edition, the MAKE team will share their journey - from idea to global scale - including the challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned along the way. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at their culture, vision, and what’s next.

​And yes, you’ll get the chance to meet the MAKE team in person.

​📅 Programme:

• ​ 17:45 - Doors open (MAKE offices)

• ​19:00 - 4 Interactive Roundtables: AI and the Future of Business

  • ​Alongside the panel, you’ll be able to join one of four interactive roundtables led by experts from Make. Each table will open space for bold questions and discussion about the future of AI in business.

    • ​Table 1
      Lead: Jorge Collinet, Engineering Manager
      – Could AI lead to a world where traditional company structures, like departments or hierarchies, become obsolete?
      – What industries today seem “AI-proof,” and are any truly safe from disruption?

    • ​Table 2
      Lead: Joe Večerník, Head of Engineering – Applied AI & Growth
      – As AI systems become more autonomous, will decision-making speed outpace our ability to regulate or even understand them?
      – Will AI lead to the end of competition as we know it—if most companies use similar, highly capable tools?

    • ​Table 3
      Lead: Lukáš Drápal, Staff Machine Learning Engineer
      – What role should governments and international bodies play in setting limits for AI’s influence on business?
      – What breakthroughs (quantum computing, AGI, synthetic data) might completely redefine the AI landscape by 2035?

    • ​Table 4
      Lead: Timothy Sabelanga, Customer Care Lead
      – What breakthroughs (quantum computing, AGI, synthetic data) might completely redefine the AI business landscape by 2035?
      – Could AI-driven automation eventually lead to one-person unicorns—startups that scale massively with minimal human teams?

• ​19:00 - 22:00 - Networking with the MAKE team and the TRUESDAYS community
