Feedback from the 2025 edition
"The most concrete AI event I've attended. Real cases, real people, real lessons learned."
"I came for the content but stayed for the conversations. The peer network is invaluable."
"Finally an event where speakers share what didn't work, not just success stories."
"The workshop format is brilliant. We left with actual frameworks we could implement Monday morning."
"Small enough to have real conversations, large enough to get diverse perspectives. Perfect balance."
