The AI Aperitivo is an exclusive high signal and low noise Symposium for top-tier AI engineers and researchers in the Roman AI scene: applied AI engineers, ML researchers, and founders pushing AI forward.

We run Socratic dialogues with AI topics including research papers, LLMs, MCP, RAG, and sometimes we dive into AGI alignment, philosophy, geo-politics, and more.

Our Socratic dialogues are structured by the AI Socratic blog posts (the March 2026 one will be coming soon), focusing on the latest in AI.

To keep discussions meaningful and low-noise, every application is carefully reviewed.

Please have your QR code ready to check-in. We'll have some solid security at the entrance!
