How are AI-powered tools transforming the way products are designed, marketed, and sold? This edition of Thursday Gathering explores the intersection of e-commerce, product innovation, and artificial intelligence, bringing together founders, designers, creators, retailers, and technology enthusiasts to examine how digital tools are reshaping the customer journey—from idea generation to market launch.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in product development, branding, personalization, and online retail, new opportunities are emerging for businesses of all sizes to create smarter products and more engaging customer experiences. Join us for an evening of inspiration, innovation, and networking with people building the future of commerce and design.
This workshop introduces the emerging concept of AI “trend agents” in fashion and product design - systems that analyze cultural signals, market data, and aesthetic patterns to evaluate and even “score” design ideas before they are produced. Participants will explore how these AI tools work, what kinds of insights they generate, and how they can support (or challenge) creative decision-making in real time.
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.

However remember, this is NO HARD SALES zone.
Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Grab a drink, enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
Come and join us for our popular UX-Testing! You will learn what products are to be launched soon in the market and meet interesting people with innovative mindsets. Our startups will show you their prototypes, and you get the chance to give them valuable feedback from a user perspective. All along, you can network in an inspiring crowd of participating teams, startup experts and guests.
Opening remarks introducing the event’s central themes - e-commerce, product design, and AI - setting the stage for discussions on how these fields are converging and transforming digital products and retail experiences.
As AI becomes an increasingly powerful creative tool, the role of human judgment is more important than ever. This keynote explores why taste, intuition, and creative vision remain uniquely human strengths, and how the most successful creators are learning to direct AI rather than compete with it. Through insights and real-world examples, the session examines the evolving relationship between technology and creativity in the age of generative AI.
A session on how AI can run without heavy cloud dependence - slashing costs, boosting efficiency, and keeping data under your control. We’ll explore how decentralised processing is shifting AI from expensive infrastructure to smarter, leaner, and more local systems that rethink how and where intelligence actually runs.
A panel discussion unpacking how AI is reshaping commerce, creative industries, and policy-making, and what these changes mean for the people navigating between them. The conversation will explore real-world impacts, emerging tensions, and the opportunities created as AI transforms how value is created, regulated, and experienced across sectors.
In this session, Anna presents the AI Product Design Award, framing its mission to spotlight the most innovative work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and product design. She walks the audience through the vision behind the award and why recognizing this emerging field matters now, as AI reshapes how products are imagined, built, and experienced.
Three finalists take the stage to present their AI-driven product design projects directly to the international jury. Each pitch showcases their concept, creative process, and the role of AI in shaping the final solution, offering insight into how they are rethinking product design through technology. The session culminates in live feedback and discussion with the jury, highlighting innovation, execution, and real-world impact.
A forward-looking session exploring the next evolution beyond SaaS, where AI-driven systems move from tools to autonomous agents that actively operate, decide, and optimize business processes. The discussion examines how this shift could redefine software, reshape enterprise structures, and transform how companies build and scale in an AI-native era.
In this session, the most innovative AI product proposal will be receiving the AI Product Design Award, recognizing groundbreaking ideas that push the boundaries of how artificial intelligence can be applied to real-world products.
