AI Aperitivo Rome 5.0 🇮🇹

After the summer break, AI Aperitivo returns to Urbe Hub for its fifth Roman edition.

The AI Aperitivo is an exclusive, high-signal and low-noise Symposium for top-tier AI engineers and researchers in the Roman AI scene: applied AI engineers, ML researchers, and founders pushing AI forward.

We run Socratic dialogues on AI topics including research papers, LLMs, MCP, RAG, and sometimes we dive into AGI alignment, philosophy, geo-politics, and more. Our Socratic dialogues are structured around the AI Socratic blog posts (the October 2026 one will be coming soon), focusing on the latest in AI.

To keep discussions meaningful and low-noise, every application is carefully reviewed. Please have your QR code ready to check-in.

Agenda

Socratic Conversations We start with a quick round of intros around the room, then dedicate 1 hour to discussing the latest in AI from the AI Socratic blog post of the month. Everyone is encouraged to contribute.

Marco moderates to keep the conversation flowing, ensuring everyone has a chance to speak.

Presentations We'll have 2-3 short presentations from some of the attendees. We're looking for builders with concrete projects, not work-in-progress slides.
