December 2–3, 2026Register now

2 days. 100+ speakers. 4,000+ attendees.

Manifesto

For centuries, technology amplified what humans can do. We lent machines our strength and our memory. Now, we’re giving them our ability to think.

Reasoning. Creativity. Intelligence. Once uniquely human, now shared.

The horizon is no longer ahead of us. We’re already crossing it.

And this may be the last frontier we cross as humans alone.

Embrace the Expanse.
Tech Spirit is back.

This edition, sector tracks take centre stage. ClickTap each one to learn more.
  • What does a company look like when it is built with AI from day one? Explore how agents are changing the way companies operate, from how products are built and decisions are made, to how teams organise and value is created.

  • Where is capital going next, and what does it take to access it? Venture capital funds and public funding bodies come together to unpack what they look for, how they invest and the different routes available to companies funding their next stage.

  • Intelligence is leaving the screen and entering the physical world. From bits to atoms. Explore the robots, chips and new computing architectures that are giving machines the ability to see, move, understand and act.

  • AI is turning games into living, evolving worlds, while those same virtual environments are becoming training grounds for physical AI. Explore how world models are transforming both the future of gaming and the way machines learn to understand the real world.

  • AI can spot disease and design drugs. Genes can be rewritten. Machines can talk to the brain. Discover how technologies once confined to science fiction are entering clinical reality, with one ultimate goal: helping patients live better.

  • When anyone can generate anything, what becomes worth making? Experience how generative AI is transforming creative production and why design, experimentation and critical thinking are becoming increasingly central to how companies create value.

Full programme and speakers will be announced soon. Register now to be the first to know.
