It is organised by Accelerate Tomorrow, an independent event organiser, and is positioned as an executive-facing event aimed at helping business leaders understand where AI creates measurable value, how to govern AI adoption and what has worked in practice across large organisations. The 2026 edition was described by the organiser as the first edition of the event, marking the launch of the ATS community. --- ## The 2026 edition: 2-3 June 2026 in Berlin The 2026 edition has concluded. The Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit 2026 took place on 2 and 3 June 2026 at Estrel Berlin. According to the organiser, the event brought together 2,000+ top-level executives, industry leaders and AI practitioners across two days. The website now directs visitors to a 2027 waitlist, indicating the 2026 event closed to new registrations before or at the time of last verification. Confirmed speakers at the 2026 edition included representatives from OpenAI (GTM DACH), Meta (Head of eCommerce), Microsoft (General Manager, Data & AI), SAP (Global Director AI Strategy), Merck Group (VP Global Enterprise Solutions), ElevenLabs, Beiersdorf (Head of AI & Data Transformation), L'Oreal (Global Chief Data and Analytics Officer), thyssenkrupp (Head of Digitalization & IT), Deutsche Bahn (Head of DB360, Data & AI), Swarovski (Head of Data and AI Excellence), Zalando (Head of Strategy and PMO), Miro (Chief Transformation Officer), Viessmann (Global Director IT & Digital), Zendesk (CTO), and Celonis (CTO), among others. --- ## Where Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit sits in the tech calendar The ATS occupies a distinct position as an executive-oriented AI transformation event in the German market, held in early June in Berlin. It differs from developer-first AI conferences (such as AI fokus in Stockholm or DWX in Mannheim) by targeting business leaders and transformation teams rather than engineers. In the European AI event calendar, it sits alongside events such as Bits & Pretzels, DLD Munich and various AI summits at DMEXCO or re:publica, though with a more focused enterprise AI transformation scope. The organiser describes it as occupying a gap for "100% business focus" AI content in the DACH market. --- ## Who attends Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit According to the organiser, the target audience is business leaders, AI innovators and transformation teams. Confirmed 2026 speakers represent C-suite and senior VP roles at major German and European companies, including manufacturers (thyssenkrupp, Viessmann), consumer goods companies (Beiersdorf, L'Oreal, Swarovski), technology companies (SAP, Zendesk, Celonis, Miro, Zalando) and infrastructure operators (Deutsche Bahn). This indicates the event attracts an audience of senior decision-makers from large enterprises operating in the DACH region and broader European markets. --- ## What the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit format includes The two-day programme is organised around three main areas, according to the organiser: - **AI Conference:** Two days of curated speaker sessions and networking, focused on AI transformation at the organisational level - **AI Masterclasses:** In-depth sessions tailored for business leaders, AI innovators and transformation teams - **AI Partner Space:** Exhibition area featuring AI solution providers, from startups to established vendors, allowing attendees to explore tools and compare adoption models Specific session times and track structures for the 2026 edition are not disclosed on the website as of last verification. --- ## What Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit covers The organiser defines four content pillars: - **Understanding how AI reshapes business:** Where AI creates actual value and measurable impact; governance and operating models; transformation cases including failures and successes - **Preparing for what is next:** Which AI capabilities are becoming business-critical; AI opportunities and risks to operating models and competition; preparing organisations for long-term change - **Discovering AI solutions and partners:** AI platforms, tools and technologies; comparing approaches and adoption models - **Community building:** Connecting business leaders and AI experts; exchanging experiences; building relationships beyond the summit --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit?
