No panels. No moderators. No sales pitches from the stage. No “truths”. Instead, expect talks and workshops across several parallel tracks, created by people who are experimenting, building, questioning and learning right now.
AI is moving fast. Let's make sense of it together.
The hype isn't the interesting part anymore.
The interesting questions are what happens next: How is AI changing creative work? What are people actually building with agents? What happens to leadership when AI becomes part of the team? Which skills matter now? What should we automate – and what should remain deeply human?
Topics range from AI agents, creative tools and vibe coding to ethics, education, change management, writing and leadership.
Berghs Unconference:AI brings together early adopters, creatives, strategists, builders, entrepreneurs, educators and leaders to explore questions like these together. You don't have to be an AI expert. But curiosity helps. We invite the audience to discuss and share. Come with something you know, something you're testing or simply something you haven't figured out yet.
A conference built differently
An Unconference isn't something you simply sit through. The people in the room help create it. Speakers self-nominate and contribute the ideas experiments and questions they believe are worth sharing. Across several parallel tracks, you can move between short talks, deeper sessions and hands-on workshops. And if something isn't giving you energy? Leave. Seriously. We use "The Law of Two feet". Go where you are learning, contributing or meeting someone interesting.
What to expect
- Build your own experience. Choose from 15–20 talks and workshops.
- A curious crowd. Meet creatives, entrepreneurs, educators and leaders from across industries.
- Several tracks at once. Follow the subjects that matter to you. Switch whenever you want.
- Interactive learning. Forget long keynotes. Think, test and learn with people exploring AI right now.
- Ideas you can actually use. Hear what others tried, what worked, what didn’t and what’s next.
- Beyond the sessions. Between the talks, gain inspiration from someone you didn’t expect to meet.
Who is it for?
For anyone working with, experimenting with or trying to make sense of AI. You might work in a creative agency, marketing, tech, HR, education or a start-up. You might be a student exploring how AI is changing your field or leading change inside a larger organisation. You might build with AI every day – or be trying to understand where to begin. Different levels of experience are part of the point. Because understanding what AI changes requires more than one perspective.

Continue learning on 8 October
Want to go deeper after the Unconference? Berghs is offering four intensive one-day courses in Berlin on 8 October, covering topics such as AI context mapping, project pitching, knowledge building and visual forecasting.
“Berghs UnConference has become my favorite space for experimentation in public. From making my stand-up comedy debut with my self-built AI coach Frank to introducing my AI colleague Nova and building my social experiment Digital Fika in front of a live audience. Expect the unexpected!”
“When your job is to train the minds of scaling entrepreneurs, you get selective about where you go to challenge your own. Bergh's Unconference is the one event I keep coming back to every time. The house is full of people who are building and experimenting with AI and rethinking what that means for creative work, business and leadership. If you take your own thinking seriously, this event is an absolute no-brainer.”
“At Unconference, you get to see what others are actually experimenting with right now. I showed an AI avatar built around a customer persona that you could ask about her preferences and motivations, bringing in perspectives the marketing team might not have considered.”
Bring your curiosity. Leave with more than notes.
The goal isn't to tell you what the future of AI will look like. It's to put interesting people in the same room and explore it together. Challenge an assumption. Test an idea. Learn a new skill. Meet someone approaching the same problem from a completely different direction, and expect a few things you didn't see coming.
Want to take the stage?
The programme is taking shape, and we’re looking for a few more speakers and workshop facilitators. Maybe you’ve built something others should see, learned something the hard way, or want to recommend someone to speak. You don’t need all the answers. Bring an idea worth exploring. All talks are 10 or 20 minutes and workshops 40 minutes.
