Applying AI Events in Lisbon
"AI research" and "AI in production" are two pretty different worlds at this point. This page collects events from the production side: how teams integrate LLMs into real products, build agents that are worth trusting, wire up RAG pipelines that don't quietly hallucinate, and ship Copilot-style features without breaking the rest of the app. Agentic coding is a particularly active thread right now, with dedicated meetups and studios popping up across the continent.
This page narrows the Lisbon calendar to Applying AI events. It's a subset of Portugal's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Lisbon's tech-event calendar has grown fast. Web Summit each November anchors the year and pulls an enormous international founder-and-investor crowd into the city. In between, there's a dense week-by-week rhythm of meetups covering AI-applied, software engineering, product, design, and the startup ecosystem that continues to expand with remote-first teams relocating here.

Agentes de IA
Lisbon, 🇵🇹 Portugal
Há uma nova geração de Agentes de IA prestes a chegar. E já sabemos quando: 13 de maio, das 14h30 às 17h30, na Quidgest.
Sim, a maioria das organizações já experimentou IA. Mas quantas…
- Conseguiram sair dos projetos-piloto e das experiências isoladas?
- Colocaram a IA a funcionar onde o valor é real: na operação?
- Passaram a ver a IA não apenas como uma ferramenta, mas como um colaborador autónomo?
- Multiplicaram a produtividade sem comprometer a governação, o risco e a conformidade?
- Alcançaram uma velocidade de implementação superior à velocidade das mudanças na organização e no mercado?
Estes temas são demasiado estratégicos para serem tratados como questões meramente tecnológicas.
Junte-se a este debate no dia 𝟭𝟯 𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗼, das 14h30 às 17h30, no Auditório da Quidgest.

Title of Talk:
The Missing Protocol: How MCP Bridges LLMs and Data Streams
Abstract:
Nobody’s talking about this: MCP isn’t just another way to build chatbots. It’s the bridge we’ve been missing between AI reasoning and real-time data systems. Teams build AI applications that work great in demos but fall apart with production data. Your agents analyze historical reports but can’t tell what’s happening in your Kafka streams. They’re blind to schema changes and disconnected from events that matter to your business. Instead of treating streaming platforms like black boxes, you expose them directly to your agents via MCP protocol. Suddenly, your AI doesn’t just read about data—it lives inside your data flows. Learn what becomes possible when you stop thinking about AI as an external service and start treating it as part of your streaming architecture. We’ll build systems where agents subscribe to real-time events, reason about evolving schemas, and make decisions that ripple through your data platform.

💡Speaker Two:
David Navalho, Principal of Software Engineering, Marionete
Title of Talk:
Back to the Boring: GenAI That Ships
Abstract:
Everyone’s chasing the future: agentic workflows, autonomous systems, AI-first transformations. Meanwhile, around 95% of GenAI pilots fail to deliver.
This talk focuses on what actually works: going back to the “boring” parts of enterprise systems: approvals, reconciliations, handoffs, and repeatable workflows, where small improvements compound into real value.
I’ll show a practical delivery pattern where GenAI is embedded into small, focused services and coordinated through Kafka.
No hype. Just a grounded way to turn GenAI into something that actually ships.

ACAI Days by The AI Art Magazine
Lisbon, 🇵🇹 Portugal
ACAI (School of Art, Culture and AI) at the NFC Summit Lisbon, Portugal. June 4 - 6 2026.
ACAI (Art, Culture and AI) by The AI Art Magazine s a dedicated programme in partnership with the NFC SUMMIT 2026 in Lisbon (4–6 June), offering two workshops on creative work with artificial intelligence. One workshop is aimed at adults who wish to explore contemporary image generation tools, while the other is tailored to young participants and introduces AI through a hands-on image‑making session.
ACAI Class Stop making images: direct them!
June 5 - Prompting and prompt editing with Seedream, Nano Banana & Co
The new generation of image generators favours conversational prompting and enables prompt editing and working with a multitude of image references. Images can be edited quickly and effectively in post-production using language – without masking. AI becomes a virtual camera, enabling alternative perspectives for existing images; colour palettes and style guides can become part of the prompt as reference images. You can prompt with geo-location, emojis or role assignments. Enter a new universe of image making.
A three-hour deep dive with prompt battles as practical exercises.
ACAI Kids Monsterfy Yourself!
June 4 - Portrait prompting and AI image creation
This workshop introduces young participants to AI-based image generation in a practical and transparent way. We take two photos on site, one portrait and one full-body pose. These images serve as the visual foundation for generating a personalised monster character.
Together we define characteristics such as type of creature, colours, facial features, environment and special abilities. The process is interactive and iterative. The result is refined step by step through conversational prompting and prompt editing. A drawing created by the participant can be used as an additional reference image.
Young participants actively guide the process and experience how their decisions affect the final image.
