About this event
🎯 About
A pre-Web Summit afternoon in Lisbon, the Saturday before the doors open at MEO Arena, with the people who decide where AI goes next: investors, executives, founders and heads of marketing in town for Web Summit week, 60 in the room.
What’s actually working in AI right now, and where the people with money and budgets are placing their bets for 2027. No hype. No doom. Three perspectives on the same question, from people doing the work — and a head start on the conversations you’ll be having all week.
Every guest leaves with a 1-month HeyGen Creator plan, and you can record your own AI digital twin on site.
📖 The playbook, in three chapters
💰 1 · VCs — What investors are betting on in 2027
A panel with investors and founders. Where enterprise money shows up, which AI startups survive, and how enterprises actually pick who they work with.
🏢 2 · 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.
🎬 3 · 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.
