AI SALON PORTO EVENTS

IT’S TIME!

The first AI Salon Porto event takes place on October 16th.

Why does it matter?

We are all part of the AI ecosystem in one way or another. AI already shapes how we work, grow our businesses, and innovate.
When Jeffrey D. Abbott first proposed the idea a year ago, it grew into a vision: a place where hot-topic keynotes spark ideas, roundtable discussions challenge perspectives, and startups pitch bold innovations.

Who is it for?

• Professionals: Upskill through educational partnerships and gain the knowledge needed to thrive in the AI era.
• Companies: Discover new ideas and inspiration that drive transformation across industries.
• Startups: Showcase groundbreaking solutions, pitch to an engaged audience, and gain global visibility.
• Investors: Spot and support promising startups shaping the next wave of AI-driven businesses.
• Porto: Position itself as a global innovation hub, connecting local talent to international networks.

This is more than just an event—it’s the beginning of a global community gathering in Porto, Portugal. Startups, investors, innovators, and changemakers will come together to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
