Conference | Expo | Hackathon | Startup Zone | Masterclasses | Party Brains on Silicon (BoS) is the cross-industry B2B convention for applied AI, taking place on September 14 and 15, 2026, at the International Congress Center Dresden. Our central motto: “Closing the implementation gap” Our focus is on practice over theory: We don’t bring vague, hype-driven AI presentations to the stage, but rather concrete use cases, automation, and real-world implementation experiences. While 2025 was all about experimentation, 2026 marks a turning point—AI agents and autonomous work processes are becoming an industrial reality. People are at the center of it all: The leap from generative demos to productive practice can only succeed if technology and organization work hand in hand. That’s why culture, digital sovereignty, change management, and human-AI collaboration are just as important to us as AI hardware and algorithms. Across four stages, two masterclass tracks, and the expanded expo, BoS brings together over 1,500 decision-makers, founders, and tech executives who don’t just discuss AI—they actively implement it. Experience over 100 top speakers—from AI pioneer Richard Socher to AI experts from OpenAI (Sarah Kemether) and Anthropic (Roman Howe), to influential figures such as Philipp Klöckner, Elisabeth L’Orange, and Dr. Hanna Huber.
