About the event

Join Adastra for an exclusive half-day event in Vienna bringing together senior leaders from across industries to tackle the question most organisations are quietly struggling with: how do you move AI out of the pilot phase and into real, governed, production-grade operation?

Many organisations have run successful AI pilots. The models work. The use cases are validated. But scaling them into enterprise environments with live customer data, regulatory requirements, audit trails, and cross-functional security standards is a different challenge entirely. Most pilots never make it to production. Not because the technology fails, but because the organisation isn’t set up to support it.

This event is about closing that gap. Through real case studies, open discussion, and peer exchange, we’ll share what it actually takes to move AI from sandbox to scale, without compromising on governance, security, or cost control.

Customer Spotlight: NLB

NLB, Slovenia’s largest bank, will share how they partnered with Adastra to build and deploy an enterprise-wide Agentic AI platform in just 5 months: from zero to production, fully auditable, and ready to scale across the organisation.

Although the case comes from banking, the lessons apply to any enterprise operating under real-world constraints: regulatory, technical, or organisational. Key outcomes:

  • 80% reduction in implementation effort and cost per new AI use case
  • Full auditability and role-based access control via Entra ID
  • Separate environments for experimentation and production
  • Vendor-agnostic architecture running on Azure and AWS
  • A platform that lets teams innovate with AI agents – without shadow IT, security risks, or uncontrollable costs
