SUMMARY:Trust in a Synthetic World: What is real and what is fake?
LOCATION:K.I.S.S. stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, IoT\, Security & Privacy\, Entertainmen
 t & Creative AI\nLukáš Barda\, Peter Jančárik\, Tomáš Stegura\nAs AI
 -generated text\, images\, video\, and voice become virtually indistinguis
 hable from human-created content\, trust is becoming one of the defining c
 hallenges of the digital age. In a world where seeing no longer guarantees
  believing\, how do we determine what is authentic—and who should be res
 ponsible for maintaining that trust?\nThis keynote explores how synthetic 
 media is reshaping communication\, journalism\, marketing\, and public dis
 course. From deepfakes and misinformation to digital identity\, content ve
 rification\, and AI-powered deception\, it examines the technologies\, reg
 ulations\, and human behaviors that will define the next era of the intern
 et. Ultimately\, the session asks whether authenticity can remain a compet
 itive advantage in a world where almost anything can be generated—and wh
 at it will take to preserve trust in the age of artificial intelligence.

SUMMARY:Bias by Design: Women\, Power & Leadership in the AI Era
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:She=Business\, AI & Machine Learning\nAs AI increasingly shapes
  decisions about hiring\, finance\, healthcare\, and access to opportunity
 \, questions of fairness\, representation\, and inclusion are becoming cen
 tral to the future of technology. This panel explores how bias can emerge 
 in AI systems\, the risk of amplifying existing inequalities\, and the res
 ponsibility of leaders to build technologies that serve diverse communitie
 s. Bringing together voices from business\, technology\, policy\, and entr
 epreneurship\, the discussion will examine the evolving role of women in s
 haping the AI era\, from leadership and innovation to governance and decis
 ion-making. Ultimately\, the panel asks how organizations can create more 
 inclusive ecosystems where diversity is not only a social imperative\, but
  a strategic advantage for building better technologies and better outcome
 s.

 latory change is a data problem\, yet most organizations still manage it w
 ith inboxes\, spreadsheets\, and manual reviews. This session explains how
  AI can continuously monitor\, classify\, and interpret thousands of regul
 atory updates across jurisdictions\, turning scattered official sources in
 to a single\, actionable signal. It covers what separates a change that ma
 tters from the noise\, and how teams can identify business impact before c
 ompliance deadlines arrive. The session closes with a live demonstration: 
 following one regulatory change from publication to actionable insight in 
 minutes\, not weeks.

LOCATION:Edison\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, Software\, Digitalization & Transformat
 ion\nEdwin Haschka\, Miroslav Dašek\nEnterprise systems are undergoing a 
 major transformation. What were once monolithic ERP solutions are evolving
  into flexible cloud platforms made up of interconnected applications that
  enable companies to respond quickly to market changes\, automate processe
 s\, and work efficiently with data and artificial intelligence. But it’s
  not only the technology and the perception of ERP systems that are changi
 ng — their users are changing as well. A new generation of employees exp
 ects intuitive\, simple\, and accessible tools they can use from anywhere\
 , as naturally as the apps they rely on in their personal lives.\nIn this 
 presentation\, we’ll show that the world of Helios now extends far beyon
 d the boundaries of traditional ERP. We will introduce an open ecosystem o
 f applications and solutions that expand Helios capabilities in the areas 
 of AI\, automation\, digitalization\, and modern cloud environments.\nWe s
 ee the future of enterprise systems in the open cloud platform AVAplace\, 
 which connects specialized applications into one integrated ecosystem. Tod
 ay\, companies expect solutions that are secure\, easily scalable\, quick 
 to deploy\, and highly user-friendly. And this is exactly the direction He
 lios is heading toward.\nCome get inspired by how a modern ecosystem of bu
 siness applications can help companies grow\, innovate\, and navigate the 
 challenges of the digital future.

SUMMARY:Digitalizing Finance for Millions? Those Days Are Over
LOCATION:Curie-Skłodowská\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, FinTech\, Blockchain & Crypto\, Digital
 ization & Transformation\nMarcela Lonková\, Lumír Boureanu\nDigitalizing
  finance used to be a long and expensive project. Marcela Lonková spent t
 en years building the digital company This One with her own hands — beca
 use ready-made solutions were unavailable\, technology cost millions and A
 I did not exist. Today\, Lumír Boureanu brings the opposite experience: w
 hat once required years of development and major investment is now\, thank
 s to automation and AI\, accessible to virtually every company.\nIn an ope
 n conversation\, they will compare their experiences and examine what has 
 genuinely changed over the past several years. What can technology take ov
 er today\, where is a person still needed\, how much does digitalization r
 eally cost and\, most importantly\, where should a company begin so that i
 t does not invest time and money in things it does not need?\nThe session 
 will not remain merely a discussion. During the talk\, participants will u
 se a short assessment to determine the current stage of digitalization of 
 their financial agenda — from document processing to the availability of
  figures for decision-making. Based on the result\, they will receive a co
 ncrete sequence of the first five steps that make sense for their specific
  situation.

SUMMARY:Vibe Coding: A Quick Start Guide
LOCATION:AI Academy room\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, E-commerce & Retail\, Software\nAvi Ros
 enblatt\nThis seminar introduces vibe programming: a conversational approa
 ch in which people describe software goals to an AI assistant\, evaluate t
 he generated code\, and improve the result through feedback. It is designe
 d for beginners\, educators\, entrepreneurs\, and developers who want to u
 nderstand how AI can accelerate prototyping without sacrificing quality or
  responsibility.\nParticipants will learn a practical workflow for getting
  started: defining a clear outcome\, giving context\, asking for a plan\, 
 building in small milestones\, running the software frequently\, and verif
 ying each change. A live example will demonstrate the cycle of describing\
 , generating\, testing\, inspecting\, and refining an application.\nThe se
 minar also examines the essential dos and don’ts of AI-assisted developm
 ent. It emphasizes using version control\, protecting credentials and pers
 onal data\, reviewing dependencies\, testing unusual cases\, and understan
 ding code before deployment. It warns against vague prompts\, uncontrolled
  rewrites\, blindly trusting generated tests\, and treating confident expl
 anations as proof of correctness.\nThe central message is that vibe progra
 mming lowers the barrier to creating software\, but it does not remove hum
 an accountability. AI provides speed and creative momentum\; people must s
 upply judgment\, security awareness\, verification\, and ownership. Used t
 houghtfully\, this approach can turn ideas into working prototypes quickly
  while supporting disciplined software development.

SUMMARY:Parents in the Workplace Aren’t a Problem—They’re a Competiti

LOCATION:Wichterle\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:She=Business\, Social Impact\, Energy & Resources\nHana Müller
 ová\nAlmost 14 years ago\, Baby Office grew out of the personal needs of 
 several women on parental leave and the reality many parents faced: they w
 anted to work and develop professionally\, while also needing to be good p
 arents.\nThe relationship between work and family was widely discussed the
 n and still is today. The situation remains far from ideal\, but it is slo
 wly changing. Companies are thinking more about flexibility\, returning af
 ter parental leave\, supporting employees with caring responsibilities and
  retaining experienced people. At the same time\, cultural change inside o
 rganizations is slow. Encouragingly\, many newer startups already have cul
 tures that are open and welcoming not only to parents\, but also to other 
 groups disadvantaged in the labour market.\nThis talk combines years of ex
 perience working with parents and companies with personal insights from th
 e speaker’s own journey through parenthood. We will examine what parents
  truly need\, where companies often miss the mark and which family-friendl
 y benefits make a real difference.\nParents represent a significant part o
 f today’s workforce and bring experience\, responsibility\, prioritizati
 on skills and considerable adaptability to their teams. Companies that cre
 ate an environment where people can work well and care for their families 
 gain a competitive advantage.\nThe talk is for HR professionals\, managers
  and anyone who wants to understand what parents’ real lives look like b
 eyond the company benefits package.

 ormation\nPeter Ďurčák\nA company with revenue of more than €20 milli
 on. Dozens of concurrent projects\, a functioning ERP system\, capable peo
 ple—and contractual penalties for delays almost every week. Today\, it h
 as gone five months without a single one.\nThe worst part was that nobody 
 saw it coming. Information moved by phone\, email and WhatsApp between fie
 ld staff\, project managers and leadership. The Gantt chart showed tasks\,
  but not whether anyone actually had the capacity to work on them. The com
 pany had an ERP system\, but ERP manages money\, not communication or work
 .\nI will show you how project management and information handovers change
 d within five months of implementing ALITEO. Emails\, phone calls and chat
 s became one managed process in which it is clear at every moment what is 
 happening\, who is responsible and where risk is emerging. You will see ho
 w the company now plans against real team capacity and how project manager
 s adopted AI themselves to monitor risks in active projects—all without 
 hiring new people or relying on Excel spreadsheets.

SUMMARY:When Change Becomes the Norm: How Micro-Moments Strengthen Employee
  Adaptability
LOCATION:Visionaries\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Social Impact\, Digitalization & Transformation\nKristýna Cetk
 ovská\nChange is no longer an exceptional event\; it is a normal part of 
 working life. New processes\, AI\, reorganizations and constantly shifting
  expectations require us to adapt continuously\, often without time to pau
 se and reflect. Adaptability is therefore no longer a skill reserved for m
 ajor transformations—it has become part of everyone’s everyday psychol
 ogical toolkit. The greatest challenge is often not change itself\, but it
 s volume and pace\, which can lead to overload\, uncertainty or gradual di
 sengagement. Our ability to adapt is revealed not only in major moments of
  transformation\, but above all in ordinary situations: working with uncer
 tainty\, accepting feedback\, handling mistakes\, leaving routines behind 
 or responding in new ways. These everyday micro-moments gradually shape ou
 r readiness for change and our ability to respond flexibly rather than res
 ist. The seminar explores how small behavioural habits and everyday situat
 ions can strengthen this capacity and help us navigate uncertainty at work
 .

 ion\nGašpar Nagy\nGenerative AI waits for a command\, creates text\, and 
 is passive. Agentic AI has a goal\, uses tools\, and acts autonomously. Th

 on of what AI can take over within a company. In the seminar\, we will sho
 w what agentic AI means in practice\, how it differs from common AI tools\
 , and where it is already having a real impact on business. We will go thr
 ough specific examples from Czech companies\, from the automation of sales
  processes and AI assistants for customer teams to systems connecting prod
 uction and sales data in one place. The seminar will also include a live d
 emonstration of how agentic AI works in real time\, what it can handle aut
 onomously\, and where its current limits are. You will leave with a concre
 te understanding of where agentic AI makes sense in your company\, what su

DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, Robotics & Automation\, Digitalization 
 & Transformation\nMarcel Däppen\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is evolving
  from an experimental tool to a core driver of business effectiveness and

DESCRIPTION:Digitalization & Transformation\, AI & Machine Learning\nBarbor
 a Štětinová\, Gerhard Knop\nMany companies today claim to be implementi
 ng AI. In reality\, they are often merely experimenting—without a clear 
 objective\, priorities or any idea of how they will know whether they have
  succeeded. Why? Often because someone influential decided it made sense a
 nd could cure every problem.\nUsing concrete examples from small and mediu
 m-sized companies\, we will show where AI delivered real value\, where it 
 merely accelerated chaos and why AI alone is not enough—and why it is so
 metimes neither needed nor appropriate. We will examine different leadersh
 ip decisions around AI implementation and adoption\, as well as what happe
 ns inside a company when people do not trust the change\, their leaders or
  themselves. Every topic will be accompanied by a real example from practi
 ce\, successful or unsuccessful.\nWe will not discuss theories or futurist
 ic visions. We will dissect genuine successes and expensive mistakes\, inc
 luding how much enthusiasm for AI without a strategy can cost a company.\n
 Topics will include:\nwhere AI genuinely helps and where it does not help 
 at all\,\nwhy AI often only amplifies a company’s existing problems\,\nw
 hy people do not follow leadership decisions and what consequences that cr
 eates\,\nwhat companies that managed to move forward had in common\,\nwhy 
 the ability to make decisions without complete certainty is now a competit

DESCRIPTION:Digitalization & Transformation\, Social Impact\nTomáš Kopeck
 ý\nMost leaders say they want more innovation\, initiative and accountabi
 lity. Not all of them\, however\, are prepared to change the leadership st
 yle on which those qualities truly depend.\nIn this workshop\, we will mov
 e from Command & Control to Trust & Inspire leadership and focus on what i
 s often overlooked: the leader’s internal shift—their ego\, need for c
 ontrol and fear of losing influence.\nWe will also examine situations in w
 hich even well-intentioned leadership unintentionally suppresses people’
 s proactivity and independence\, and how to encourage a behavioural shift 
 across the organization: from passivity to initiative and from completing 
 tasks to owning outcomes.\nBecause innovation is not produced by pressure.
  It grows from the environment a leader creates every day.

 házka\nAI agents can independently assess situations\, use available tool
 s and propose next steps. When deployed on their own\, however\, they ofte
 n become isolated solutions without sufficient control\, transparency\, in
 tegration into the end-to-end business process or added value.\nThe semina
 r will show how AI agents can be incorporated into process orchestration\,
  combining their flexible decision-making with governance through BPMN and
  the Camunda 8 platform.\nIt will explain agentic orchestration\, the role
 s of tools\, memory\, RAG\, process constraints and human involvement in d
 ecision-making. It will also address auditability\, the management of agen
 t autonomy and safeguards that help control access to tools\, data and lan
 guage models.\nThe seminar will include a live demonstration of a simplifi
 ed Customer Due Diligence process. An AI agent will assess the available m
 aterials\, search for relevant information\, propose a risk level and prep
 are a basis for an analyst’s decision. Camunda will manage the overall p

SUMMARY:Treating Malignant Tumors with Ionizing Radiation: From Tumor Destr
 uction to Immune System Activation
LOCATION:Edison\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\nJiří Kubeš\nThe seminar will introduce par
 ticipants to the latest findings on how radiotherapy affects the immune sy
 stem and the opportunities offered by particle therapy in this area. It wi
 ll also present current directions in research and development and their p
 otential applications in the future treatment of cancer.\nIonizing radiati
 on has been used to treat malignant tumors for more than 130 years. For mu
 ch of its history\, the field has evolved toward increasingly precise targ
 eting of tumors and their destruction using the highest possible radiation
  dose. Technology has developed accordingly\, leading to modern techniques
  such as linear accelerators using VMAT\, CyberKnife\, Gamma Knife\, and M
 RI-LINAC. All of these technologies enable increasingly precise irradiatio
 n of tumor sites. However\, this precision comes at a cost: an unwanted do
 se of ionizing radiation is still delivered to relatively large volumes of
  healthy tissue outside the treatment target.\nIn recent years\, a new dir
 ection has begun to emerge. It is based on the idea that protecting the or
 gans of the immune system may be just as important as irradiating the tumo
 r itself. Combining tumor destruction with immune system preservation may 
 help stimulate an anti-tumor immune response\, enabling the patient’s ow
 n immune system to actively fight the cancer. New technologies and treatme
 nt approaches are being developed with this goal in mind\, with particle t
 herapy representing one of the most promising areas of development.\nResea
 rch indicates that different particles\, due to their different masses\, c
 an have different effects on the immune system. Similarly\, new approaches
  to the timing of radiotherapy may influence immune responses differently 
 from today’s standard treatment protocols. At the forefront of current d
 evelopment are particle accelerators capable of treating tumors in a singl
 e fraction\, using different types of particles for different parts of the
  tumor according to the biological characteristics of the tumor tissue\, w
 hile simultaneously sparing organs that are essential to the immune respon
 se\, such as lymph nodes.

SUMMARY:Innovation in the Black: The R&D Tax Deduction
LOCATION:Wichterle\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Legal & Regulatory\, Digitalization & Transformation\nMiloslav 
 Soukup\nEvery company looks for ways to reduce costs. One answer lies dire
 ctly in innovation: the statutory research and development tax deduction. 
 Eligible costs can be deducted from the tax base a second time\, and from 
 2026 the deduction rises from 100% to 150%\, saving CZK 315\,000 for every
  million crowns spent. Eligible costs can also include the salaries of pro
 grammers\, designers\, technicians and other employees involved in develop
 ment.\nUsing concrete examples\, we will show how to identify activities a
 nd costs that qualify and how to use this instrument safely to finance fur
 ther innovation.\nUnlike grants\, R&D tax support is not awarded through a
  competition. It does not depend on an open call or an available funding e
 nvelope\; companies that meet the conditions have a legal entitlement to i
 t.\nThe seminar will be led by Miloslav Soukup\, Senior Innovation Manager
  at Ayming\, which has supported innovation for 40 years globally and 17 y
 ears in the Czech Republic.

  our value on. About why we automatically reach for AI before we encounter
  our own thoughts and feelings. About the difference between when we let A
 I lead us to blindly care for our own self-image and when it supports us t

 our own development and needs. Some of our needs are truly satisfied\, whi

 healthcare itself creates a substantial environmental footprint and faces 
 the question of how to provide high-quality care more sustainably.\nIn the

  innovation. What does environmental change mean today for a patient with 
 asthma or COPD? What role do air quality\, heatwaves and changes in the po
 llen season play? And can new technologies\, treatment approaches and heal
 thcare innovations simultaneously improve patient outcomes and reduce the 
 environmental impact of care?\nThe discussion will also open a broader que

 erstood only as reducing emissions\, or primarily as the ability to create
  a healthcare system that prevents deterioration of disease\, limits unnec

SUMMARY:Mindset Before Skillset. Purpose Before Process
LOCATION:Startup stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Success is often attributed to strategy\, talent\, or execution
 . Yet the greatest obstacle to sustainable performance is frequently somet
 hing less visible: mindset. In this keynote\, Gerd explores why high-perfo
 rming founders\, leaders\, and teams succeed not because they work harder 
 than everyone else\, but because they build the mental frameworks\, cultur
 e\, and sense of purpose that allow them to thrive under pressure.\nDrawin
 g on lessons from both elite sport and entrepreneurship\, he examines the 
 foundations of resilient leadership\, sustainable execution\, and long-ter
 m success. From navigating uncertainty and setbacks to creating cultures t
 hat can scale without losing their identity\, this session challenges audi
 ences to rethink what truly drives performance. Because before process\, b
 efore strategy\, and before growth comes the mindset that makes all three 
 possible.

 es today.\nSelf-managing organizations aren't a utopia. They exist. In man
 ufacturing\, banking\, tech. Y Soft\, a Brno-based company with 400 people
 \, eliminated managers across most of the business - and performance skyro

 hey share? Teams with real authority and autonomy. Transparency instead of
  reporting layers. Trust and processes instead of control.\nThis session a
 lso introduces the PACE® framework - Proactive\, Adaptive\, Conscious\, E
 mpowered organizations. And shows how these principles translate into prac
 tice. We'll walk through real case studies\, honest limitations\, and what
  actually blocks innovation inside organizations. Including\, probably\, y
 ours. And how an implementation of bits and pieces can start.

LOCATION:AI Academy room\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, Legal & Regulatory\nPavel Lukeš\, Jiř

 real money is a whole different league.\nDirect has deployed AI in insuran
 ce claims handling in a way that allows it to take part in decisions about
  actual payouts. This is exactly where a pilot becomes real production—b
 ut only for companies capable of handling accountability\, auditability\, 
 risk management\, and trust in live operations. Pavel Lukeš\, CTO of Dire
 ct pojišťovna\, and Jiří Mach\, CEO of Qest Technologies and Enehano\,
  will show what they had to put in place to move the deployment from an id
 ea into production.\nThe main topic is governance: who approves the AI\, w
 ho is accountable for it in production\, how the audit trail is maintained
 \, and where the human remains in the process.\nThey will also address the
  questions that are rarely said out loud on stage:\n/ How an AI deployment
  gets through risk management\, compliance\, and internal audit\n/ What an
  approval process from idea to production should include\n/ How to tell wh
 en a pilot is ready for production\n/ And when it is better to stop the pi
 lot\n/ Where AI deployment becomes risky\nThe result is a practical look a
 t what a company needs to master when it brings AI into processes where de
 cisions must be made quickly\, under scrutiny\, and with a real impact on 
 the customer.

SUMMARY:The Future of Enterprise AI Has Four Steps. You Can Climb Three of 
 Them Right Now
LOCATION:Faraday\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, Health & Biotech\, Digitalization & Tra
 nsformation\nJiří Holub\, Richard Straka\nAlmost everyone now uses perso
 nal assistants such as ChatGPT or Copilot. But between “asking AI” and
  “AI reliably doing company work\,” there are three more steps—and m
 ost companies do not know which one they are standing on.\nWe will explore
  four levels of enterprise AI: personal assistants\, trustworthy knowledge
  AI over company data\, agentic process automation\, and Physical AI with 
 humanoid robotics. The first three are available right now using the data 
 and systems you already have. The fourth is the future discussed at every 
 conference.\nBetween the third and fourth steps lies another that is rarel
 y discussed: an exact description of the work. Until a company can break a
  person’s activity into steps\, inputs\, outputs and checkpoints\, it ca
 nnot hand that activity to either a software agent or a robot. It is unexc
 iting work\, which is why almost nobody does it. Anyone who skips this ste
 p will not reach level four\, no matter how many humanoids they buy.\nAt A
 kkodis\, we build knowledge layers over company documentation and agentic 
 automation connected to real systems: ERP\, PLM\, ticketing and email. We 
 will show what each level requires in terms of data\, integrations and gov
 ernance\, where projects most often get stuck\, and how many humanoids hav
 e actually been manufactured versus how many are genuinely working.\nYou w
 ill leave with a map showing where your company stands\, the least expensi
 ve next step and what is not worth doing until the previous levels are com
 plete.\nThe seminar is intended for people responsible for AI in their org
 anizations\, or those who want to move up one level: leaders in manufactur
 ing\, engineering\, IT and digitalization—especially if you have a pilot
  that has gone nowhere for a year\, or a process everyone knows AI could h
 andle but people still perform manually.\nWe will be at our booth after th
 e seminar. Bring your case and we will review it with you.

SUMMARY:A System for Developing Soft Skills in Primary School Students
LOCATION:Edison\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Social Impact\, Health & Biotech\nAlena Miklová\nEducation for
  the 21st century requires more than transferring knowledge to students. I
 t is essential to develop their ability to understand and apply what they 
 learn in real life\, think critically\, collaborate and work independently
 . This talk presents a comprehensive system for integrating key capabiliti
 es—soft skills—into teaching.\nThe model draws on the Czech national c
 urriculum’s key competencies and the principles of 21st Century Learning
  Design. It covers six core areas: self-management\, collaboration\, commu
 nication\, presentation\, problem-solving and practical skills\, including
  digital competencies. These abilities are naturally embedded across subje
 cts\, with expected outcomes progressing systematically from Year 1 to Yea
 r 9.\nThe talk will also introduce a formative assessment system based on 
 a four-level progress scale that tracks each student’s independence and 
 how frequently they apply the skills in school situations. The model suppo
 rts individual development\, self-reflection and students taking responsib
 ility for their own learning.\nThe session offers inspiration for turning 
 key competencies from a formal framework into a practical\, functional too
 l for developing students in today’s world.

SUMMARY:Unlock Your Company Know-How Hidden in Legacy Systems
LOCATION:Curie-Skłodowská\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:AI & Machine Learning\, Robotics & Automation\, Digitalization 
 & Transformation\nJan Difko\nCorporate systems often contain twenty years 
 of knowledge that AI cannot access on its own: definitions\, rules\, excep
 tions and historical context that give the data its real meaning.\nIn the 
 past\, making this knowledge accessible meant a migration project lasting 
 several years. AI-assisted migration\, however\, fundamentally changes bot
 h the pace and risk of modernization. Much of the analysis\, code conversi
 on and validation can be automated\, turning years into months.\nIn the wo
 rkshop\, we will show not only how to accelerate such a migration\, but ab
 ove all what the company gains from it: AI working with its own governed d
 ata\, faster time to market\, scaling according to actual needs\, and a si
 ngle environment in which costs and governance can be managed effectively.
 \nWe will also look at where modernization projects most often lose time. 
 The issue is frequently not the technology\, but management decisions. You
  will leave with specific questions worth asking before approving the next
  modernization budget.

SUMMARY:Digital Innovation Without the Licensing Trap
LOCATION:Křižík\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Digitalization & Transformation\nMichal Stepanek\nDigital techn
 ologies help companies accelerate processes\, develop new services\, and r
 espond to evolving customer needs. However\, as the number of systems grow
 s\, so do licensing fees\, add-on costs\, support expenses\, and the cost 
 of further development. Technology that was originally meant to enable inn
 ovation can gradually become a constraint.\nThis seminar will explore how 
 to approach the digital ecosystem strategically and when it makes sense to
  complement off-the-shelf products with open technologies\, open-source so
 lutions\, or custom development. Through practical examples\, we will look
  at portals\, process automation\, integrations\, and security.\nThe goal 
 is not to replace every licensed solution\, but to make informed technolog
 y choices that support a company’s future growth\, allow solutions to be
  tailored to its needs\, and help keep long-term costs under control.

LOCATION:Visionaries\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\nMartin Cvrkal\nOnline therapy is an integral 
 part of a comprehensive approach to treating obesity. Martin Cvrkal uses t
 echnology to enable frequent\, structured contact with patients through on
 line group therapy. In this seminar\, he will share his experience with th
 is form of treatment and explain why obesity requires a comprehensive appr
 oach—it is not “just about willpower.” He will focus on recurring me
 chanisms that perpetuate the problem\, including triggers\, the failure–
 deterioration cycle and fluctuating motivation\, as well as how mental wel
 lbeing and everyday functioning change over the course of treatment.\nThe 
 session will also include anonymized patient stories showing how an online
  format can support sustainable change\, continuity of care and practical 
 skills for everyday situations. The seminar will emphasize that people dea
 ling with overweight or obesity should not be left without professional gu
 idance.

 \, and healthy aging.\nAs interest in longevity\, personalized medicine\, 
 and preventive healthcare continues to grow\, medicinal mushrooms are beco
 ming the focus of intensive research across neuroscience\, immunology\, bi
 otechnology\, and functional medicine. But where does traditional knowledg
 e end and evidence-based science begin?\nThis panel will explore the lates
 t findings on the impact of medicinal mushrooms on cognitive function\, ne
 uroplasticity\, the immune system\, the gut microbiome\, and overall vital

 ons of integrating natural compounds into modern healthcare. Topics will i
 nclude emerging clinical evidence\, regulation\, safety\, commercializatio

 ome of society’s most pressing challenges on Earth. This session explore
 s how satellite data and Earth observation systems are helping governments
 \, businesses\, and communities make smarter decisions across energy\, agr
 iculture\, logistics\, and crisis response. From monitoring critical infra
 structure and improving food security to predicting natural disasters and 
 optimizing transportation networks\, space-based technologies are deliveri
 ng real-world impact at an unprecedented scale. Powered by AI and advanced
  analytics\, the next generation of satellite intelligence is transforming
  how we understand\, manage\, and protect the systems that modern life dep
 ends on.\nPart II:\nEurope From Space: Sovereignty\, Security & the Future
  of Strategic Infrastructure\nAs geopolitical competition intensifies and 
 critical infrastructure becomes increasingly digital\, space is emerging a
 s a strategic domain that underpins economic resilience\, security\, and t
 echnological independence. This session examines the growing importance of
  European space capabilities\, from Earth observation and satellite commun
 ications to navigation systems such as Galileo. How can Europe strengthen 
 its strategic autonomy while remaining competitive in the global space eco
 nomy? The discussion will explore the role of space technologies in defenc
 e\, cybersecurity\, climate intelligence\, and crisis preparedness\, while
  assessing how institutions\, governments\, and industry can work together
  to secure Europe's position in an increasingly contested and interconnect
 ed world.

SUMMARY:One Year On: What Changed When AI Stopped Being New
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Kamil Kunc\nA year ago\, on this same stage\, we measured for t
 he first time how Czech society was entering the age of artificial intelli
 gence. Several paradoxes came out of it. 72% of people were already active
  AI users\, three quarters conversed with it as they would with a person\,
  half addressed it by name or thanked it — and 83% were simultaneously c
 alling for regulation.\nBack then AI was a novelty. Today it is standard e
 quipment. NMS Market Research has repeated the representative survey of th
 e Czech population\, so for the first time we can say what has genuinely c
 hanged in twelve months — and what hasn't. Where the shift is in everyda
 y frequency of use and in the generational divide (last year 44% of Gen Z 
 used AI daily\, while 61% of Baby Boomers never did)\, how AI is moving ou
 t of personal life into work and into schools\, how many people now pay fo
 r it\, and how many are using it without ever calling it that.\nAbove all\
 , we open two topics that did not exist a year ago. Who do we confide in: 
 do we tell AI things we wouldn't tell people? Would we consult it about ou
 r physical or mental health? And where is the limit of delegation — what
  are we willing to let AI handle on our behalf without our approval?\nThe 
 data answer the question sitting behind all the others: what do we think o
 f ourselves as human beings at the moment a machine knows our worries bett
 er than the people closest to us. The keynote opens a block that continues
  with a roundtable on the future of research.

SUMMARY:Do You Understand Today’s Affluent Customers?
LOCATION:Newton\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\, Social Impact\, Digitalization & Transformat
 ion\nJan Hruška\nWho is today’s affluent customer\, and what do they tr
 uly expect from banks\, brands\, and service providers? Income or wealth a
 lone no longer gives us a sufficient answer. People with comparable financ
 ial means can have entirely different needs\, motivations\, and life prior
 ities. Their actual behavior therefore often reveals more than traditional
  customer segmentation.\nThe seminar will show how affluent customers spen
 d\, how their payment behavior differs\, and why the amount spent is not t
 he only deciding factor. We will examine the importance of travel\, gastro
 nomy\, experiences\, international mobility\, and other areas that reflect
  their lifestyle. We will also show why affluent customers increasingly va
 lue their time\, simplicity\, control\, relevant personalization\, and ser
 vices that remove unnecessary complications.\nUsing concrete examples\, pa
 rticipants will learn how payment data can identify customers with premium
  potential and provide a better understanding of their needs. The seminar 
 will also explore the changing role of premium products. The product alone
  is no longer enough. Value is increasingly created by combining a high-qu
 ality payment solution\, useful benefits\, exceptional experiences\, digit
 al services\, and a human approach.\nThe aim is to show how companies can 
 turn an understanding of affluent customers into a more relevant offer\, s
 tronger loyalty\, and sustainable business growth.

 \, however\, most of this data existed only inside closed systems and was 
 practically unusable.\nUsing concrete examples\, we will show how PID’s 
 open-data platform was created—a platform that now powers passenger apps
 \, stop information systems\, analytical tools and third-party services. W
 e will trace the journey from manually transcribed timetables to real-time
  data tracking thousands of connections and helping transport operators ma

SUMMARY:The future of medicine is integrative
LOCATION:Main stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\nBarbara Paldus\nAdvances in genomics\, wearab
 le sensors\, and AI have the potential to enable truly personalized care p
 lans that blend pharmaceuticals\, nutrition\, lifestyle\, and mind-body th
 erapies for optimal outcomes. Integrative medicine can further combine con
 ventional treatments with evidence-based complementary approaches to addre
 ss the whole person—body\, mind\, and environment—so it better meets c
 omplex\, chronic health needs.\nToday\, women make most household health d
 ecisions\, influence family health behaviors\, and support the majority of
  child or elderly care - which will accelerate the conversion to holistic\
 , autonomy-preserving medicine. Women’s health itself will also drive th
 is shift because women live longer\, experience distinct hormonal lifecycl
 es\, and face unique multi-system conditions that benefit from coordinated
 \, multidisciplinary approaches. Expanding research into sex-specific medi
 cine such as menopause will prioritize integrative solutions tailored to f
 emale physiology across the lifespan.\nPreventive and systems-based strate
 gies will be critical in reducing long-term costs and morbidity\, aligning
  with healthcare’s shift from acute to chronic-care models - especially 
 as the 65+ population doubles in the next 20 years to 1.6 billion globally
 . Integrative medicine will establish the future standard as healthcare pi
 vots toward personalization\, prevention\, and accessibility.

 , distributed\, and discovered\, streaming continues to reshape the econom
 ics of the industry\, and live events increasingly rely on technology\, da
 ta\, and personalized experiences. At the same time\, AI is no longer just
  a creative tool—it is beginning to influence discovery\, marketing\, fa
 n engagement\, and the business models behind music itself.\nThis panel br
 ings together people who create\, produce\, and technologically shape the 
 music industry. From major festivals and live entertainment to record labe
 ls\, technology\, and production\, the discussion will explore some of the
  industry's biggest questions: Who will decide what we listen to five year
 s from now? How will AI change the creation and value of music? Will the r
 oles of artists\, producers\, and labels evolve? And will the greatest val
 ue lie in the music itself—or in the experience\, community\, and abilit

 only by new technologies\, but by new ways of connecting artists\, fans\, 
 data\, platforms\, and live experiences.

SUMMARY:The Algorithms of Our Mind: The Psyche and Emotions Through the Len

LOCATION:Newton\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\nMilan Schirlo\nIt is said that as many as 80%
  of the worries we experience each day are simply constructs of our own mi
 nd. And according to Chinese medicine\, our psyche is behind 70% of all he
 alth problems. How is that possible—and what can we do about it?\nTradit
 ional Chinese medicine described how the human psyche works thousands of y
 ears ago. Not in the language of neuroscience\, but through an elegant sys
 tem of symbols that captures what is happening within us with surprising a
 ccuracy: why stress “hits us” in the stomach\, why suppressed anger ca
 n lead to insomnia\, and why the mind and body never function separately. 
 No esotericism—just a different model of reality that offers a fresh per
 spective on how your psyche works.\nFinally\, we will look at the practica
 l side as well: three medicinal mushrooms—Cordyceps\, Hericium\, and Rei
 shi—that work best for psychological imbalances\, along with the herbal 
 formulas Milan Schirlo most often uses in his practice for these types of 
 imbalances.

SUMMARY:How to Acquire Partners That Acquire Customers
LOCATION:Edison\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Software\, Digitalization & Transformation\nAlejandro Albi\nCus
 tomer acquisition is getting harder. Ad costs keep rising\, outbound is no
 isier than ever\, and AI is making it easier for everyone to produce the s
 ame content and campaigns. The companies pulling ahead aren't necessarily 
 spending more—they're building ecosystems of partners that bring them cu
 stomers every single day.\nThe challenge isn't finding partners. It's find
 ing the right partners. Most businesses mistake networking for partnership
  strategy\, chase logo collections instead of business outcomes\, and inve
 st months into relationships that never generate meaningful growth.\nIn th
 is seminar\, you'll discover how high-growth companies identify\, evaluate
 \, and activate partnerships that become predictable customer acquisition 
 channels. You'll learn a practical framework for choosing the right partne
 rs\, structuring partnerships that create mutual value\, and avoiding the 
 mistakes that cause most partnership initiatives to stall.\nThis isn't a t
 heory session. It's built on firsthand industry insights from one of Europ
 e's leading partnership management platforms\, distilled from thousands of
  partnership programs across SaaS\, eCommerce\, finance\, iGaming\, and B2
 B. You'll leave with proven principles\, practical frameworks\, and a new 
 way of thinking about growth\, because the companies that scale the fastes
 t don't just acquire customers. They acquire partners who keep acquiring c
 ustomers for them.

SUMMARY:Finance & Housing: Building Stability in an Unstable World
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:FinTech\, Blockchain & Crypto\, Social Impact\nRising housing c
 osts\, economic uncertainty\, and rapid technological change are reshaping
  what financial security looks like for an entire generation. This panel e
 xplores how AI\, digital finance\, and evolving career paths are changing 
 the way people earn\, save\, invest\, and build wealth. As traditional mil
 estones such as homeownership become increasingly difficult to achieve\, h
 ow should individuals—and institutions—adapt?\nBringing together leade
 rs from finance\, banking\, technology\, real estate\, and policy\, the di
 scussion will examine the future of banking\, digital assets\, investing\,
  financial literacy\, and the growing impact of AI on personal finance. Fr
 om housing affordability and generational wealth gaps to financial fraud\,
  automation\, and the changing nature of work\, the panel will explore wha
 t it takes to build long-term financial resilience in an increasingly unpr
 edictable world—and whether the traditional path to stability still exis
 ts.

SUMMARY:Lasers Against Space Debris
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Space & Beyond\nSimon Klinga\nMillions of fragments from rocket
 s and satellites are currently orbiting the Earth\, posing an increasing t
 hreat to satellites and the critical infrastructure we depend on. The LASA
 R team is developing a way to tackle this threat using lasers—deflecting
  space debris from collision trajectories and enabling it to safely burn u
 p in the atmosphere.\nSimon Klinga will present the latest results of an e
 xperiment conducted in collaboration with the European Space Agency\, in w
 hich his team successfully targeted their own satellite with a laser beam 
 while it was travelling more than 400 kilometres above Earth at a speed of
  over 25\,000 km/h.\nThe keynote will explore how laser technology could t
 ransform the protection of Europe’s orbital infrastructure and why Europ
 e’s security and strategic sovereignty are increasingly being shaped in 
 space as well.

LOCATION:AI Academy room\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\, E-commerce & Retail\nPavel Hurta\nIn today
 ’s fast-paced world\, filled with high-pressure decision-making and cons
 tant attention to screens\, mental capacity and a clear mind are becoming 
 a crucial competitive advantage. But how can we maintain peak cognitive pe
 rformance without burnout\, fatigue\, or relying on litres of coffee?\nThi
 s seminar offers a practical\, science-based look into the biology of huma
 n performance. We will explore how the brain functions under chronic stres
 s and which specific tools—from circadian hygiene and breathing protocol
 s to targeted brain nutrition and supplements—can be immediately integra
 ted into the workday to boost mental capacity\, focus\, and overall vitali
 ty.\nDuring the seminar\, you will learn about:\nNeuro-nutrition\, adaptog
 ens\, and nootropics: How carefully selected supplements can help reduce c
 hronic stress\, support memory and concentration\, and maintain steady ene
 rgy without afternoon crashes.\nCircadian rhythms and sleep: How to manage
  light exposure and your evening routine to support deep recovery and a cl
 ear mind from the moment you wake up.

SUMMARY:Who Owns Space?
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Space is no longer just the domain of astronauts and science fi
 ction. It is rapidly becoming a strategic arena where the future of techno
 logy\, security\, and the global economy is being shaped.\nWho controls sp
 ace today? Can anyone own the Moon or mine resources from asteroids? How c
 lose are we to routine space travel\, and why are satellites far more esse
 ntial to our daily lives than most people realize?\nThis panel explores th
 e new space race\, the technologies driving the next era of exploration\, 
 and the growing role of space in communications\, navigation\, climate mon
 itoring\, national security\, and the global economy. As governments and p
 rivate companies compete to shape the future beyond Earth's atmosphere\, t
 he discussion will examine who will define the rules of this new frontier.
 \nBecause the future of humanity may not begin on Earth—but above it.

SUMMARY:Women's Health Without Myths
LOCATION:Breakthrough stage\, ČSOB Campus\, Radlická 333\, Prague 5
DESCRIPTION:Health & Biotech\, Social Impact\nCortisol is the new enemy. De
 toxes promise to reset your body. Hormonal imbalance is blamed for almost 
 everything. And social media is flooded with 30-second videos claiming to 
 fix your hormones\, improve your cycle\, and boost your energy.\nBut how m
 uch of this is actually supported by science—and how much is simply anot
 her wellness trend that first convinces women they have a problem\, then s
 ells them the solution?\nHow does the female hormonal system really work? 
 What impact do stress\, sleep\, and nutrition have on women's health and p
 erformance? Does intermittent fasting affect women the same way it affects
  men? And why has women's health become one of the fastest-growing sectors
  in the wellness industry?\nThis panel brings together experts for an open
 \, evidence-based discussion on menstruation\, fertility\, hormones\, meno
 pause\, and the latest trends in women's health. Rather than fear\, misinf
 ormation\, or marketing-driven narratives\, the conversation will focus on
  what current research actually tells us.\nBecause women deserve better th

 understand how much personal data we share\, who collects it\, and how it 
 is used. In the age of artificial intelligence\, these individual data poi
 nts can be combined into remarkably detailed profiles that reveal our habi
 ts\, preferences\, and even predict our future behavior.\nThis keynote exp
 lores how today's data economy works\, why personal data has become one of
  the world's most valuable commodities\, and how emerging technologies are
  reshaping our understanding of privacy. Attendees will gain practical ins
 ights into digital identity\, online security\, and the steps they can tak
 e to regain greater control over the information they share every day.

 ple write to artificial intelligence as if they were searching on Google: 
 three words\, enter\, and then they wonder why they got generic fluff. But
  a language model is not a search engine — it is a highly well-read inte
 rn who started this morning. It knows the whole world\, but it knows nothi
 ng about you. And if you do not tell it what\, for whom and why\, it will 
 simply fill in the blanks.\nOver the past two years\, Roman Stolejda has t
 rained hundreds of people\, from civil servants to directors — and he se
 es the same pattern everywhere: the less we say\, the more annoyed we get.
  Live on stage\, he will show the difference between a bad and a good prom
 pt\, why speaking is often more effective than typing today\, and why the 
 ability to explain what you actually want is the most valuable skill of 20
 26. No technical jargon\, with practical examples and a touch of cheek.
