From SEO to AEO: The New Rules of AI Search Visibility
Deep Tech | Tech for Enterprise | AI | Edtech
People don’t search like they used to. They ask AI for answers and never click a single link. If your business isn’t showing up in those AI-generated responses, you’re invisible at the exact moment decisions are being made. That shift from Search Engine Optimization to Answer Engine Optimization is already underway, and most businesses are completely unprepared. In this session, Thiago Ferreira, founder of Elevate AI Consulting and Adjunct Professor at the University of Miami, breaks down the core components of AEO readiness, from structured content and schema markup to entity clarity and authority signals. You’ll learn what separates the brands AI recommends from the ones it ignores, and the most common mistakes keeping businesses invisible. No hype. No jargon. Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or executive, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to make your brand the answer AI recommends. NOTE: Masterclass ticket required.
Agent Memory Patterns: How Machines Remember and Forget
Tech for Enterprise | AI
Modern AI systems don’t just respond, they remember. But what does “memory” actually mean for AI agents, and how should it be designed from the start? This foundational session introduces Agent Memory Systems, the architectural patterns that allow agents to retain context, preferences, and state across interactions. Designed for builders early in their agent journey, it reframes memory as a system design challenge, not simply a model feature. We’ll break down key memory types, including short-term context, session memory, and long-term recall, and examine how they differ in purpose, lifetime, and risk. The discussion will explore what agents should remember versus forget, how to prevent stale or incorrect recall, and how to structure identity and task memory responsibly. Attendees will leave with a practical mental model and design checklist for building intelligent, stateful agents that feel consistent, trustworthy, and production-ready. NOTE: Masterclass ticket required.
Decision Intelligence with Generative AI: Better Decisions Under Uncertainty with AI
Deep Tech | Tech for Enterprise | AI | Edtech
Decision making is one of the most sought after skills by executives. With the advent of Generative AI, decision making can be optimized to unlock the full potential of human judgement. This hands-on lab introduces the theory of Decision Intelligence with Generative AI (frame decisions, surface assumptions, evaluate decision quality under uncertainty), then applies GenAI as a structured reasoning process. You will practice many advanced Decision Intelligence GenAI techniques. NOTE: Masterclass ticket required.
The Nature of AI: How It Thinks and How We Test It
Deep Tech | AI
This workshop explores the nature of artificial intelligence — how modern AI systems “think,” how large language models function, and how organizations can rigorously test their performance. Participants will gain a practical understanding of neural networks, embeddings, and generative AI mechanics, alongside the critical role of model evaluation in real-world deployment. Through applied examples — from chatbots to reporting agents — the session will walk through how to design effective evals, measure output quality, and iterate toward production-ready AI systems. Attendees will leave with a clearer mental model of AI capabilities, limitations, and the frameworks needed to build, assess, and scale trustworthy AI solutions. NOTE: Masterclass ticket required.
