Austria's main stage for IT and digital executives: 85+ speakers and 50+ breakout sessions over three days, organised around three pillars — Innovation & Strategy, Foundation & Resilience, and Efficiency & Leadership — covering agentic AI, legacy modernisation and cyber-resilience for CIOs, CTOs and CDOs.
AIS26 – AI SUMMIT Styria 2026 is a two-day conference at FH JOANNEUM's Kapfenberg campus for early-career researchers, students, experts and practitioners working on current developments and challenges in artificial intelligence. The programme is built around four tracks: Foundations & Infrastructure (generative AI, multi-agent systems, MLOps/LLMOps), Software Engineering in the age of AI, IT-Security with AI-based defence strategies, and an Interdisciplinary track on regulation and ethics for safe AI in critical systems. Day one opens on the afternoon of 22 October with keynotes by Patrick Ratheiser (Director and Head of AI at EY Österreich) and Prof. Dr. Elisabeth André, followed by a panel discussion and an evening get-together. Day two runs a full day of eight parallel paper sessions and an accompanying poster session, with keynotes from Carina Zehetmaier on turning the AI Act into measurable compliance, Florian Brugger on moving from AI point solutions to system solutions, and Dr. Klaus Steinmaurer on power and control over AI. Accepted contributions are published, and lunch and coffee breaks are included in the ticket. Day one is free to attend; day two costs EUR 65–195 depending on early-bird timing and student status, and is free for FH JOANNEUM students and staff.
Building Cyber Resilience Into the Energy Transition with AI: The energy transition is making our critical infrastructure more connected, digital, and dependent on communication networks — creating new opportunities, but also new vulnerabilities.

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.
