Optional Day 2: Building an Agentic System

Amsterdam | April 30, 2026 | Hosted at Miro

Format: A half-day working session for participating members.

9:00 | Start

A member-driven, closed-door working session with a small group and a curated set of Europe's leading AI companies. The goal is to collaboratively build agentic AI systems using real tools and workflows — not demos. Founders and CEOs participate as working contributors, not presenters. Full program detail to follow.
