AI keynotes and workshops for your event
We build AI systems for Swiss SMEs, associations and public authorities – and show on stage, in workshops and at customer events what actually works in practice. Practitioners rather than professional speakers: no slideshow about the future, but examples from projects that are in live operation.
- English, German and Swiss German
- Across Switzerland and Liechtenstein
- ISO 27001 certified
- On site or online
Formats: from a 15-minute talk to a full workshop day
Every format serves a different purpose. Tell us how much time you have and who will be in the room, and we will propose the right one – even if that means recommending the shorter option.
Keynote
A stage talk for conferences, annual meetings and customer events: one clear storyline, a live demo and a concrete recommendation at the end.
Short talk
A concise opener for executive and board meetings, association events or as the start of a panel discussion.
Workshop
Hands-on work with the participants' own processes: collect use cases, assess them and try them out with real tools. Ideal for 8–16 people.
Ideation session
A facilitated search for use cases: where does AI pay off in your organisation, and where does it not? The result is a prioritised list with an assessment of effort and benefit.
Panel & moderation
Participation in panel discussions or moderation of a themed session – including preparing the questions with your programme team.
In-house training
Teams and managers learn to use AI tools safely: which data may go in, which must not, and which results always need to be checked.
Where we have spoken
From a packed conference hall to a small-group workshop – a selection of our appearances:
Why this matters for your audience
Our examples come from live projects: the AI assistant JANA at the Schaffhausen employment office, which SECO has reported on, the AI-supported dental emergency service of SSO Section Schaffhausen, and our own products for transcription, telephony and internal AI platforms. The business magazine BILANZ and the Kaufmännischer Verband have written about our work.
Topics we can speak about because we have built them
- Generative AI at work – what is reliable today, what is not yet, and how to tell the difference.
- Data protection and data sovereignty – the Swiss FADP and the EU GDPR, hosting in Switzerland, on-premise models and which data a company may put into an AI system at all.
- AI on the phone – voice assistants, round-the-clock availability and emergency services. Case in point: the dental emergency service of SSO Section Schaffhausen.
- Meetings and documentation – transcription, summaries and minutes, including the organisational questions they raise.
- AI in public administration – chatbots for citizen enquiries, illustrated by the AI assistant JANA at the Schaffhausen employment office.
- AI in recruiting – CV analysis, bias, legal guardrails and what candidates notice.
- Setting up AI projects properly – from proof of concept to live operation: costs, roles, pitfalls and the typical reasons projects are abandoned.
- Change and governance – how teams adopt AI: ground rules, training and approval processes.

How a booking works
- Enquiry – date, location, time slot, audience and preferred format in a few sentences. You will hear from us within two working days.
- Briefing call (20 minutes) – who will be in the room, what they already know and what should be different afterwards.
- Quote and abstract – a fixed-price quote plus title, abstract and short bio for your programme and communications.
- Tailoring – we adapt the examples to your industry. On request, we speak to two or three participants beforehand.
- Delivery and follow-up – the talk or workshop, followed by the slides as a PDF and written answers to questions left open in the room.
Frequently asked questions
What does a talk or workshop cost?
The fee depends on the format, the preparation effort and travel time. After a free briefing call, you receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden items. For associations, municipalities and non-profit events, we can usually find a solution.
How much lead time do you need?
Four to six weeks is ideal, so that we can tailor the examples to your audience. Short-notice requests are possible – if there is not enough time to prepare properly, we will decline rather than deliver something generic.
Which languages do you speak?
English and German, and Swiss German on request. Handouts can be produced in two languages.
Is this a sales pitch in disguise?
No. The talk is vendor-neutral and also covers tools that are not ours. We only show our own products if you explicitly ask for it, for example at a customer event.
Where do you travel?
Anywhere in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and to the rest of the DACH region on request. Online delivery via Teams, Zoom or Webex is also possible, although workshops work much better on site.
May we record the talk?
Yes, by prior arrangement. You receive the slides as a PDF for internal use. Before anything is published, we check the material together, as some client examples are confidential.
What do you need on the technical side?
A projector with an HDMI or USB-C connection, sound for video demos and, ideally, stable Wi-Fi for live demos. Without internet access, we show recorded demos – the talk works either way.
How large can a workshop group be?
Eight to sixteen people works best. For larger groups, we either split into sub-groups or recommend a talk followed by an extended Q&A.
Planning an event?
