A panel with investors and founders. Where enterprise money shows up, which AI startups survive, and how enterprises actually pick who they work with.
🏢 Enterprises — How AI adoption really works inside the organisation
Keynote by Slavi Slavev. What makes a company AI-first, how adoption actually rolls out across teams, the trials and errors nobody puts in the case study, and what the spending looks like against the ROI six months in.
🎬 Creators — The video layer
Keynote by Stan Slavev. How a data-driven video layer scales education and marketing content, what digital twins are good for, and how to keep a content workflow defensible. Then see it live in the Digital Twin Studio, running all afternoon.
