Real conversations about AI agents, data foundations and the business decisions behind them - the parts that are rarely discussed.
About the event
What this Open Day is about
This Open Day is a face-to-face, small-scale event designed to enable open and honest conversations about data, AI and business decision-making.
It is not an event about tools or trends. It is a moment of real sharing between organizations that deal daily with imperfect data, technical limitations, operational pressure and complex decisions.
Here we talk about what worked, what did not, and the real journey behind business outcomes.
Who this is for
For people whose decisions are touched by data and AI
If data influences your decisions - or if you experience its limits in your day-to-day work - this event is for you.
Agenda
A morning structured for honest conversation
Three hours, one keynote, two panels and an executive AMA. Followed by network lunch.

Previous edition
What happened at Open Day Lisbon 2026
In Lisbon we brought together different perspectives to explore what really makes Data & AI work inside organizations. Not just platforms. Not just dashboards. Not just AI - but the real conditions behind impact: governance, data quality, business context, AI literacy, cost control and human judgment.
Who was on stage in Lisbon
Technology only creates value when it is close to the problem and understood by the people who use it.
Why it's different
What makes this event different
Real stories from real contexts
Business decisions, not idealized case studies
Open conversations, no sales pitch
Space for direct and honest questions
A small group format that enables proximity and dialogue
Organizations and context · no logos
A room of professionals from highly demanding sectors
This event brings together professionals from organizations operating in highly demanding sectors - where data directly impacts critical business decisions.
Venue
The Social Hub Porto
The event will take place at The Social Hub Porto, a central meeting point in the city of Porto.
A bright and informal setting designed for collaboration - ideal for focused conversations between a small group of peers.
