Why it is worth being there

People worth knowing

Founders and leaders from the same industry, chosen one by one, and we always seat each person next to people whose experience is relevant to them. The connections made at the table last long after the evening.

What is changing in your industry

NILG.AI brings the signals it has seen in AI projects in that industry, and everyone adds what they are living through in their company.

A candid conversation

No stage, no audience. Real problems discussed among people who know them, and you leave with concrete ideas for the year ahead.

What they said

Written in public by people who were at the table, in their own posts and in comments.

Cláudia Pereira: Estive sentada à mesa com gestores de algumas das maiores agências do país, numa conversa aberta sobre o futuro da Inteligência Artificial e o impacto que já está a ter no nosso setor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the format?+

It starts with networking among the guests. Then comes a discussion about the industry, with insights shared by the people at the table and what NILG.AI has been seeing in AI projects, and it ends with a networking dinner.

Who will I sit next to?+

Seats are never random. We always seat each person next to people whose experience is relevant to them, so the conversation pays off from the first minute.

Who can come?+

Founders, CEOs and leaders at companies in the edition's industry. Seats are few, so the team chooses who makes the conversation most useful for everyone.

My industry has not had an edition yet. Is it worth asking?+

Yes. Requests are how we decide which industries to bring together next.
