Presenting: The Agentic Company: How to Grow With Agents Instead of Headcount
Most leaders hear about AI in abstract terms, but rarely see how it actually runs inside a real company. In this session, Ignácio opens up his own operating system and shows how a portfolio business runs marketing, sales, client communication, research, finance, and operations through a coordinated team of AI agents.
You will get a guided walkthrough of his agent “team” using annotated screenshots, including how the marketing, sales, executive assistant, research, finance, and ops agents are set up, what tools they connect to, and which types of work they handle day to day. Ignácio also explains the new leadership skill of managing agents: defining clear roles, giving the right context, setting guardrails, and building simple approval flows so agents can work reliably in the background.
The session closes with a straightforward 4-step process to launch your first agent within 30 days, from writing the job description as a prompt to testing it and connecting it to a real workflow. You will leave with a clear mental model of what an agentic company looks like in practice, honest limits of what agents should and should not do, and concrete steps to start building your own agent layer today.

Jens Palsma 🇳🇱 🇵🇹
Presenting: The Sales System That Never Sleeps
Most businesses still rely on humans to remember the next sales step, which means leads slip through the cracks and opportunities are lost. In this session, Jens Palsma shows how to build a simple, reliable sales system that works in the background all day, every day, so your pipeline keeps moving even when your team is busy.
The talk is built around three core ideas you can remember and apply: SEE, SPEED, and WAKE. You will learn how to SEE the invisible by spotting buying signals before prospects ever reach out to you, why SPEED matters and how responding in 5 minutes instead of 5 days changes your close rates, and how to WAKE the goldmine that already exists in your forgotten database.
Throughout the session, you will see how to replace memory-based follow-up with simple, automated touchpoints that never forget to call, email, or nurture the right contact at the right time. Jens will share practical examples you can adapt to your own tools and tech stack, so you can start turning anonymous attention into real conversations without adding more manual work to your team.
You will leave with a clear mental model for a “sales system that never sleeps,” language you can use with your team to align around SEE · SPEED · WAKE, and concrete next steps to improve your existing sales process. This session is designed for founders and sales leaders who want a calm, dependable system instead of a frantic, person-dependent pipeline.
About Jens:
Jens is the founder of Clevergro, where he helps recruitment agencies transform from manual, hustle-driven operations into modern, AI-powered firms. With a background in tech recruitment and deep expertise in automation tools like Clay, n8n, and LinkedIn outreach systems, he builds sales and sourcing systems that work around the clock, so recruiters can focus on what actually matters: real conversations with real people. Based in Portugal and originally from the Netherlands, Jens is on a mission to amplify recruiters, not replace them.

Presenting: Choosing the Right Automation & AI Tools: Practical Decisions for European Businesses
Many businesses struggle with AI and automation, not because the technology is missing, but because they choose the wrong tools at the wrong time. In this session, you will get a clear framework for deciding when to automate, when to introduce AI, and which tools fit different types of work.
The speaker focuses on decision-making, not technical demos. You will learn how to assess process maturity, recognize where human judgment still matters, and avoid common mistakes like automating broken processes or using AI as a shortcut without understanding what it actually does.
You will see how to distinguish between automation-first and AI-first approaches, and where tools like Make, n8n, and AI-agent platforms fit into real operational scenarios. The session also covers what European teams should consider around data privacy, hosting, and long-term maintenance, so your choices remain sustainable as your business grows.
This session gives you mental models, practical examples, and actionable guidelines you can apply immediately to evaluate automation and AI opportunities in your own organization. You will leave with clarity on how to make smarter tool decisions that support real business outcomes.

Fabrizio Scoglio 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 🇪🇸
Presenting: How I 10x’d My Company Productivity Without Hiring Anyone
Most business owners fall into the same trap: too many roles, too little time, and the belief that hiring more people is the only way forward. In this session, the speaker shows a different path – building smarter systems that reduce manual work and create leverage in day-to-day operations.
You’ll get a step-by-step look at three AI workflows already running in a real business. You will see how a CEO dashboard can be automated to deliver real-time metrics in about 60 seconds, how outreach can scale from 100 to 5,000 contacts per month with one person using AI-led personalization, and how to build a content engine that publishes daily without burning out the team.
This talk is designed to be practical and easy to replicate, even if you do not have a technical background. You’ll walk away with a clear framework for choosing what to automate first, specific tools you can implement tomorrow, and a mindset shift from “I need to hire” to “what can run without me?”
