It was an incredible experience speaking at the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit in Berlin last week, where we dove into one of the most critical shifts in our industry: the transition from AI as a tool to Agentic AI as a core business driver.

A huge thank you to the organizers that

put together such an inspiring event!

Had the privilege of being Batch #1 at Accelerate Tomorrow — speaking about the AI Adoption Paradox in Germany
and my reflections from 10 years of leading ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ digital transformations here.

With a grand opening that only matched the Berlin Film Festival in visuals and experience (kudos Till Schmid and team), the two-day event was exactly what I needed.

A special mention to the ATS team: this was their very first edition and they pulled off something genuinely impressive. Already looking forward to what they do next.

Eric Dubern

The vibe and exhilaration was all around us - it was not a typical conference!

#AccelerateTomorrow was not only a phrase but the goal to generate value from a technology stack that is already transformational.

Marc-Joël Fortelny

AI & Solution Architect for Strategic Intelligence | OMV

What Till Schmid and his team built for this inaugural edition wasn’t a typical tech conference. It was closer to: a concert + a strategy offsite + a movement. A production value I've never seen at an AI event.

A big thanks to the entire ATS team.

Jay Mohan Kaul

Global AI Strategy, Data & Analytics Lead | Sanofi

Returning from an amazing day at Accelerate Tomorrow where leaders, influencers and transformation drivers met to discuss and get inspired on AI opportunities and impact now and in future.

One week after ATS ‘26 in Berlin, and I’m still thinking about it.

The strongest part for me was not the session itself, but what happened after. A lot of people stayed, we continued the discussion, and it quickly moved from presentation mode to very open, very honest exchange. Different perspectives, similar challenges, and a lot of practical thinking. That’s what made it valuable.

For me, ATS delivered exactly what it promised: bringing different viewpoints together and making them visible through real conversations.

Two days at Accelerate Tomorrow. Boom! Honestly, I needed a few moments today to take in what happened.

Before the doors opened, we were building the opening show. Together with Till Schmid, I shaped the story that set the tone, "See The Full Spectrum."

Till Schmid, my longtime friend. With your vision, your drive, and your sheer enthusiasm for connecting humans and technology, you built this event at breathtaking speed and quality. I managed to capture a brief moment of you looking out at everything you and your ATS team created, with pride.

See the full spectrum. We did.

Two intense days at ATS in Berlin are

behind me, and it was a great

experience.

The exchange with colleagues and customers across the industry was just as valuable, and it already sparked concrete follow-up actions.

One line stuck with me: AI won’t replace you. Someone using AI might.

Thank you to the entire ATS team and to

everyone who joined the discussion.

Two days at the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit

in Berlin, and I am still processing everything I

picked up.

I joined a lot of sessions, but the real value was

in the exchanges around them. It was also special

to be there alongside my father, who presented

his own masterclass.💙

Thank you to the ATS team and to everyone

I exchanged ideas with.

“Tomorrow belongs to the fast movers." One week later, the line for #ATS2026 is still stuck in my mind.

Just over a week ago, I attended the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit in Berlin. Two days, over 1,000 attendees from corporations, providers and consultancies.

A strong start for this new format! I’m looking forward to next year.

Nico Schilling

Kicking off Day 1 at the Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit in Berlin, and

what a strong start.

The very first edition of the event was introduced by its founder Till Schmid, inviting all to network and, hopefully, come discover and come out of the event with something new and actually meaningful for their strategies.

Excited to see what the next sessions will bring!

Tiago Bianchi

Industry Expert | Statista

I had the opportunity to attend an awesome industry event last week, Accelerate Tomorrow Berlin, thanks Till Schmid for an inspiring space that set the perfect tone for this new stage. The main takeaway from the event was clear: high‑quality data is still the deciding factor in building reliable AI.

Packed with lots of awesome sessions, engaging discussions with industry leaders, and invaluable perspectives on the rapidly developing world of AI.

Day 1 set a high bar, and I’m looking forward to Day 2 connecting with more brilliant minds and diving into another round of great sessions.

Chamith Kodikara

Senior Software Engineer | Statista

After two days on booth duty, I'm definitely feeling it, but what a great event. It was a conference, but it didn't feel like a conference. It felt like a community being built.

Yes, there was an impressive stage, lots of talks and plenty of great content, but the real value came from the conversations happening between sessions, around the booths, over dinner and at the networking events. Carefully curated by the organisers.

If this was year 1, I can only see this community growing from here.

Rachel Johnson

Partner Marketing Manager | EPAM

Today I attended the first ever ATS. I've been to a lot of conferences over the years, but what I enjoyed about this one was that it felt refreshingly practical.

Lots of honest conversations about what organisations are actually doing with AI today, what's working, what's not, and where the biggest opportunities still lie.

Huge credit to Till Schmid and the ATS team for bringing together such a strong group of speakers and operators for the inaugural event. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Melissa Weston

Chief Marketing Officer | Cyber

Two days. Five stages. 100+ speakers.

The Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit delivered something the AI conversation has been missing: a room full of people who are actually doing the work.

A big thank you to Till Schmid and the whole ATS team — the format was tight, the curation was sharp, everything just ran smoothly. Proud to be part of Class #1 of ATS.

Michael Pietsch

Business Messaging & MarTech Ecosystem & Agencies | Meta

Great joining the Accelerate Tomorrow AI summit along with 100+ speakers from OpenAI, Microsoft, SAP, L'Oréal, Deutsche Bank, Bosch, and beyond.

It’s great to be part of formats like this, where people can have open discussions, share lessons learned, and openly discuss both the opportunities and the challenges of deploying AI at scale.

Dr. Violeta Vasileva

The Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit happened in Berlin for the first time and it was actually a really interesting event to attend!

The program was impressively curated. Keynotes, functional deep dives, hands-on masterclasses, and an AI Tech Fair kept every hour substantive and grounded. 

But beyond the sessions, it was the

conversations that made this event

truly worthwhile. 

Looking forward to seeing where this
community goes from here. See you

at ATS 2027 again!

Jens Lindner

Head of Global Communication Services | Merck

Two days that stay with you. At ATS, people sat together who would never normally share the same table: banks next to logistics players. Insurers next to manufacturers. All wrestling with the same questions — none with the same answers. That’s exactly where the value lies.

Till Schmid built something right: not a

networking event, but a space for

perspective shifts. And you feel it in

every conversation, in every session.

Congratulations to the entire team.

See you next time. 🙌

Torsten Mueller

Das erste Mal ist immer besonders - die Accelerate Tomorrow im Estrel war ein gelungener Auftakt.

Mit nicht weniger Anspruch, als dass die ATS in fünf Jahren die bedeutendste AI Messe in Europa sein soll, eröffnete Till Schmid die Messe.

Die Agenda war prall gefüllt mit großen Firmennamen und starken Persönlichkeiten, die Location mit dem Estrel gut gewählt und die geplanten Räume waren gut ausgefüllt.

Zwischen KI-Hype und echter Transformation liegt ein entscheidender Unterschied: praktische Umsetzung.

Genau das hat mich beim Accelerate Tomorrow Summit diese Woche besonders beeindruckt.

Danke an das Team rund um Till Schmid für dieses gelungene erste ATS-Event - freue mich schon jetzt auf das nächste!

Stefanie Söhnchen

VP Digital | Piabo Communications

Last week, Accelerate Tomorrow 2026 brought together 1,000 business leaders, AI innovators, founders, and transformation experts over two days.

Thank you for building an AI event where conversations actually happen. The atmosphere you created made all the difference.

Kathleen Jaedtke



Head of Marketing EMEA Central | Workato

Across the stages and hallways, the conversations focused on AI transforming how companies operate - process, workflows, productivity, products, decision-making inside the organization. The inside-out story.

Huge thanks to the Accelerate Tomorrow team for having me! A very strong start for this new format.

Martin Schulze

Head of Product | Unicepta

We just wrapped up two days of knowledge sharing and great conversations at ATS, alongside a number of Germany's leading companies.

Thank you to the Accelerate Tomorrow

team. It was a pleasure for us to take part

and exchange on this stage.

Great to see Berlin leading the conversation on AI and the need for serious investment in the space in Germany.

Thanks to the organizers and all the speakers at Accelerate Tomorrow AI Summit - a genuinely energizing day.

I had the chance to attend the ATS in Berlin and connect with so many inspiring people who are actively shaping AI transformation. 

I’m leaving Berlin with new ideas, fresh

perspectives, and even more motivation to

turn AI into real impact.

Walter Steinhauser

Chief Technology Officer | Autovista

It was an incredibly grounding two days at the Estrel Berlin. We are officially past the hype cycle and into the gritty, hard work of real integration.

Special thanks to Till Schmid for organising such a wonderful event!

Adamya Mishra

Senior AI Engineer | Delivery Hero

Das erste Mal ist immer besonders - die Accelerate Tomorrow im Estrel war ein gelungener Auftakt.

Mit nicht weniger Anspruch, als dass die ATS in fünf Jahren die bedeutendste AI Messe in Europa sein soll, eröffnete Till Schmid die Messe.

Die Agenda war prall gefüllt mit großen Firmennamen und starken Persönlichkeiten, die Location mit dem Estrel gut gewählt und die geplanten Räume waren gut ausgefüllt.

Stefan Schultz

Member of the Executive Board | Payback

It was a great opportunity to learn from industry experts, exchange ideas with peers, and explore how AI is reshaping industries and organizations.

A special thank you to all speakers for the insightful presentations and for the valuable conversations afterward.

And a big thank to Till Schmid, who envisioned

and built this event from the ground up and

made these two inspiring days possible.

Nicolas Grieger

Head of Strategy and Product Portfolio Management | Biotronik

My first time at an event like this, and it honestly felt like a concert, with a huge stage, lighting, music and over 1000 people.

This 2-day event changed the way I think about many things; & my head is still full of ideas from it.

Aditya Gupta

AI Strategy & Market Intelligence

Two days at ATS Berlin. Still digesting.

Till Schmid and the team managed to provide a genuinely thought-dense schedule, rare on a topic where even the big names don't always have the full picture.
