RISE OF AI 2023 Berlin

The Rise of AI began in 2014, with ten people debating the Singularity. Rise of AI is now Europe's most influential platform for the expanding Artificial Intelligence industry.

Our goal is to create a thriving European ecosystem. We want AIs to help us and all humans live longer and happier lives.

As a result, we host the annual Rise of AI Conference, Rise of AI Virtuals Chats, and Rise of AI Summit. Furthermore, we educate, raise awareness, counsel, and invest in the young but rapidly growing AI industry.

Fabian Westerheide, our CEO, is an international expert on Artificial Intelligence strategy, as well as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Fabian, an avid sci-fi fan since childhood, has made his lifelong passion for technology and human progress his mission.

Veronika Westerheide, CEO of Pandora Events Berlin and Co-Founder and COO of Rise of AI Conference, has extensive experience organizing high-quality, exciting tech and AI events. She has strong ties to leading AI companies, associations, and other stakeholders, and she is also involved in the European AI ecosystem as Director Events & Network at KI Park e. V.

Veronika Westerheide represents comprehensive expertise in all areas of the high-end event business in Germany, Europe, and worldwide, with over 300 successfully managed event projects and over 15,000 guests.

As part of the German AI Week in 2020, the Rise of AI Conference with 2,000 guests was planned. We quickly adapted new formats to connect the AI community as a result of Covid-19. We launched the Rise of AI Virtual Chats in April 2020, a series of inspiring conversations with leading minds in AI. Then, in November 2020, we hosted the hybrid Rise of AI Summit, which drew 1,800 virtual attendees.

While the Virtual Chats continued in 2021, we hosted the hybrid Rise of AI Conference in June 2022. With 160 Berlin guests and 900+ in the streams, it was a wonderful family reunion. We will host the next Rise of AI Conference in May 2023, with a maximum of 250 live guests and 1000+ in the streams.
