In the city26–27 May

Two days of talks, an AI hackathon and work areas in a garden venue in town. Yellow info desks, signs and parasols showed the way, and a DJ played under the trees between sessions.

The castle28 May

On the third day everyone went out of town to a pink castle with a huge garden. Green drapes fell from the balconies, the lawn turned into a yellow and green checkerboard, and there were cushions on the terraces, a gelato cart and a grill.

Then it glowed28 May, after sunset

When the sun went down the castle became the stage: a light show on the facade, bubbles over the crowd, and ALTEGO, one of the big names on the dance scene, headlined the night with a set that ran until late.
