Five Days of Sessions
Keynotes at nine, deep-dives till seven. Follow one track all week or mix them — every session ends with a live demo you can question.
Five Tracks, One Frontier
Filter the home timetable by any of these topics, or build your week around a single craft.
Engineering
Evals, retrieval and on-device inference — the unglamorous systems work behind intelligence people trust.
Growth
Flywheels, community and packaging invisible value — how intelligent products find their people.
Platform
Agents, consent and access — the infrastructure and interfaces the next decade runs on.
Software
Living interfaces, calm screens and civic platforms — the craft of shipping software that respects you.
Showcase Hour
Ten founders, five minutes each, one Noesis Cup. The room votes and the finale closes day five.
The Week, Day by Day
Doors at 08:00, keynotes from 09:00 sharp. Here is the shape of each day.
Foundations
Opening keynote, reliable engineering, human-machine interfaces and the city-as-a-service story.
Moats & Agents
Defensibility for AI companies, production agents, sane evals and pricing the invisible.
Systems & Trust
Living design systems, intelligence on the factory floor, consent by design and search that answers.
Growth & Capital
Community-led growth, small sharp models, funding when anyone can build, and the open web.
Access & Finale
Designing for every ability, software that respects you, the closing keynote and Showcase Hour.
Every Talk Ends in a Live Demo
Slides can hide anything, so our speakers prove it on stage — on the real product, with inputs chosen by the room.
- Forty sessions, forty working demos, zero pre-recorded reveals.
- Failed demos get debugged live — the crowd's favourite moments.
- Ten finalists replay their demos in Showcase Hour for the Noesis Cup.
