Rise of AI · Partnerships · 2027
Europe’s curated AI Conference & Community — connecting selected leaders from business, policy, research, startups and investment since 2014.
As a partner, you become part of a trusted European AI conversation — with curated access to decision makers, relevant visibility and meaningful relationships at the centre. Not a mass event. Not a logo wall.
“300 decision makers. One room. The question Europe needs to answer right now.”
Rise of AI brings together the full AI value chain — from research and infrastructure to enterprise adoption, investment, policy and public debate. Partners don’t surround the event. They are part of it.
We work with partners who bring substance to Europe’s AI ecosystem: technology companies, enterprise AI leaders, infrastructure providers, consulting firms, research institutions, investors, public sector organisations and ecosystem builders.
Rise of AI gives partners access to a highly curated AI environment — intimate enough for real conversations, relevant enough for strategic business development and trusted enough for long-term relationship building.
You meet people who are not just interested in AI, but responsible for building, funding, regulating, adopting and communicating it.
Visibility at Rise of AI is not about volume. It is about relevance — and the relationships that follow.
Meet selected executives, founders, investors, policy makers, researchers and AI leaders in a trusted environment designed for meaningful exchange. Rise of AI is intentionally limited in size to protect the quality of the room.
Position your organisation in front of a highly relevant AI audience before, during and after the conference — through selected communications, on-site visibility, content formats and community touchpoints. Visibility at Rise of AI is not about volume. It is about relevance.
Use Rise of AI to identify new customers, partners, investors, talent and strategic relationships across Europe's AI ecosystem. We help partners move beyond passive sponsoring into real conversations with the right people.
Take part in carefully curated networking moments, topic tables, private formats and selected evening gatherings that create space for deeper exchange. Many of the most valuable Rise of AI conversations happen between sessions, over dinner or through direct introductions.
We protect the quality of the partner environment. Rise of AI is not an overcrowded sponsor marketplace. We work with a selected group of partners whose expertise, products or perspective add genuine value to the community.
Partners can contribute to the programme through relevant insights, panels, keynotes, workshops or curated formats — when their contribution adds substance. No empty pitches. No generic AI claims. We look for real expertise and perspectives that help the community move forward.
Rise of AI is run by Veronika and Fabian Westerheide with a strong focus on quality, trust and long-term relationships. Partners value the personal support, thoughtful curation and attention to detail that make Rise of AI feel different from large-scale trade shows or anonymous tech events.
Rise of AI brings together the full AI value chain. Our audience includes leaders from every corner of the ecosystem.

From sponsors to speakers to first-time attendees — this is what they say, in their own words.
Having sponsored several conferences this year, Rise of AI stands out as the most organised and well-structured event we've been part of. The attention to detail and thoughtful preparation make a real difference to sponsors.
For me it was — like last year — the best AI conference I have been to this year. What I liked most: it felt focused, thoughtful and practical. Ambitious, relevant and grounded.
I arrived curious but held my expectations open. The people in that room were thinking seriously about the right things. And it showed in every conversation.
“What impressed me most were the earnest, direct, no-BS conversations — 1:1 or in small groups. An impressively friendly, thoughtful and smart community.”
“An exceptionally well-prepared, well-run and well-followed-up event. I had great conversations and will be doing my follow-ups here.”
“What made it special was the openness of the conversations. When founders meet investors, research meets industry, and policy meets business — that's where the ideas happen that move the future.”
Partnerships are designed individually — based on your goals, your expertise and what you bring to the community. Every partnership starts with a conversation.
