​AI is changing how companies are built and as founders we need to adapt. The real advantage isn’t knowing what AI can do - it’s knowing how to use it to do more, move faster, and stay on top of everything to run your organization smarter.

​Join Danish Tech Startups at Nordic Office for an afternoon focused on how we as founders are using AI in the real world to improve operations, automate the boring stuff, make better decisions, stay organized, lead our employees better and create more leverage in their day-to-day work.

​This is not a “sit back and listen” kind of event. Come with your challenges, ideas, and curiosity. Leave with practical ways to put AI to work immediately.

​Start: 16:00
Venue: Nordic Office, Skt Knuds Torv 3, 1, 8000 Aarhus C

​Program
16.00 – Arrival

16.15 – Welcome by Nordic Office & Danish Tech Startups (DTS)
Tom Quast, Founder, Nordic Office
Lasse Chor, Danish Tech Startups (DTS)

​16:30 – 17:30 – Founder + AI
Two talks from founders sharing their insights and learnings from implementing different AI tools and agents within their companies. The sessions will be highly practical, featuring real-world walkthroughs and honest insights into the challenges, benefits, and lessons learned along the way.

​Talk 1: Agents and automation, Speaker TBA

​Talk 2: TBC

​17:30-> – Execution Time
Stay for an informal, optional working session where everyone can actually start implementing what they’ve learned. Bring your laptop, pick something you want to improve, and work alongside other founders. Ask questions, share ideas, help each other out — and leave with something actually done. We will dine together while working and supporting each other.

​Drinks and snacks will be provided - dinner is at your own cost. We will order Wolt together :)
