Our First Own Event: KI Meets Marketing

Exciting times: we pulled off our first own event — offline, in real life, right in the heart of Karlsruhe. Under the title “KI Meets Marketing,” everything revolved around one question: how does AI actually create value in marketing today — not in theory, but hands-on.

We hosted it together with the marketing agency All:AIRT, also based in Karlsruhe. Instead of dry presentations, we ran hands-on challenges, mini prototypes, and real exchange with decision-makers from the Mittelstand, industry, and tech — from CTOs and CEOs to marketing managers and AI leads. Rounding it off was a panel with experts from tech, marketing, start-ups, and academia.

The venue could hardly have been more fitting: the Höpfner Burg in the heart of the CyberForum, in the room called “Church.” It was in this very room that our founder Joshua Heller gave his first pitch back in 2023 as part of the CyberLab Accelerator — a nice circle to come full circle.

For a young company like ours, hosting our own event is a real milestone. The curated round of just 15 seats, the great conversations, and the closing networking over a few drinks proved one thing: it pays off to bring together people who don’t just want to talk about AI, but actually try it out. Thanks to All:AIRT and everyone who joined.
