AI//SHIFT Düsseldorf | September 19th, 2025
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, redefining how we work, and reshaping how we collaborate.
AI//SHIFT is a full-day event spotlighting the vibrant AI ecosystem growing in NRW and beyond.
We’re currently shaping the program and looking for companies and creators to get involved — especially those ready to share tools, ideas, and hands-on experiences.
We want to do things differently
We’re definitely interested in keynotes and workshops, but what excites us most is what people can actually do. We’re looking for technology that people can experience directly.
Our goal is for guests to leave with more than just a few new contacts. Memorable interactions lead to real connection and lasting visibility for the people creating them.
If you’re working on something that sparks curiosity, we want to hear from you.
What we're looking for
AI is stretching across every industry — and we’re open to all of it. The key is that we’re looking for tools, products, and ideas people can engage with directly. Think hands-on, not hands-off.
Here are a few areas we’re especially excited about:
- Language — translation, speech tech...
- Productivity — chatbots, automation...
- Creative — art, music, fashion...
- Healthcare — diagnosis, prevention...
- Sustainability — green tech, climate solutions...
Do you have a product or new technology you would like to feature?
