Lakeside AI

AI by those who put it to work

Lakeside AI is a Lugano professional group at the intersection of real, no-bullshit educational innovation and high-value information. Hear from people who actually implement AI — what worked, what did not, and what they would do differently. The group also explores convergences between Agentic AI and Bitcoin / crypto more broadly. No technical expertise required. Non-commercial.

The evenings

Once a month, in two parts:

  1. At PoW.Space (~1h–1h15): real use cases, KPIs, demos and field experience — typically 3 or 4 speakers, about 10 minutes plus 5 minutes Q&A each. Trends and consequences when useful. Not a tech deep-dive. At a suitable moment, a short introduction to PoW.Space — the space that hosts us (brief, not a sales pitch).
  2. At Fredy Bar, nearby: informal networking. Own consumption — each guest pays for themselves.

For professionals starting to think how to apply AI in their business. Speakers are practitioners with real use cases — not consultancies pitching services.
