Most organizations have read the AI Act by now. Far fewer have turned it into something their teams can actually do. Knowing the rules exist is one thing; deciding who owns compliance, where a project starts, and how it fits the way you already work is another. That gap, between the regulation on paper and the AI Act in practice, is what this event is about.

What you'll leave with

• Where to actually start a compliance project, and how to scale it as your AI systems grow
• How to build AI Act requirements into processes you already run, instead of bolting a parallel one alongside them
• Real lessons on managing AI risk under regulatory uncertainty
• The regulators' own perspective

Come with your questions. Leave with a clearer picture of what the AI Act means for your organization, and a first move you can make on the next day. The talks are followed by food, drinks, and time to compare notes with peers in the same position.
