Elevate Festival - Music, Art and political Discourse in Graz, Austria
Tenth edition of the Agile Austria Conference, 29-30 April 2027 in Graz, under the motto "From Manifesto to Machine - Turning Two Decades of Agile Theory into Today's AI-Driven Reality". Keynotes, practitioner case studies, 45-minute talks and 90-minute workshops in German and English ask whether the 2001 Agile Manifesto's human-centred values still hold once AI systems plan, code, test, analyse and help decide alongside the team. It runs hybrid - speakers are on stage in Graz, remote attendees join by livestream - and for the sixth time the net proceeds go to a charitable cause.

The FFG's first Quantum Ideation Days gathers researchers, companies and quantum experts at weXelerate on Praterstraße for two days, with one goal: turn early-stage quantum technology into concrete industrial use cases. Teams work on site along three technology tracks — quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communication. Companies, SMEs and research groups can enter a real problem as a "Challenge Owner" and develop it with an interdisciplinary team from first idea into a worked-out concept, with applications closing 31 August. It is the in-person culmination of the FFG's Quantum Reality Check series,, and the programme is held in German.
LSZ takes its CIO Kongress west for two days at the Löwen Hotel Montafon, under the 2027 motto "CO-INTELLIGENCE — Mensch. Maschine. Momentum." The billing is deliberately regional: IT and digitalisation leaders from western Austria and the Bodensee region — CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, CEOs and security leads — in a setting the organisers describe as a strategic change of scene rather than another event. LSZ advertises 20+ workshops and 30+ speakers working through the split between legacy estates, cyber-resilience and agentic AI, alongside digital sovereignty and the leadership of hybrid human-and-agent teams, with real case studies instead of glossy slides. Tickets are EUR 999.
In this session, we'll explore Generative UI. We'll look at the different ways an LLM can shape a user interface, from simply choosing pre-built components to generating entire interfaces.
