Tech Events in Lisbon

We're back from summer, and DSPT is coming back swinging, this is the first event in our 10-year anniversary series, and we're kicking it off with an enterprise AI heavyweight.

Lisbon, let's talk about Claude in production
Everyone's experimented with prompts. Far fewer teams have shipped AI that survives contact with production-critical systems, the messy reality of legacy infrastructure, compliance, latency, and "what happens when it's wrong."

DSPT × Indicium AI are teaming up for "Claude for the Enterprise: Beyond the Hype, Into Production."

Indicium AI, one of Anthropic's key partners deploying AI systems into large enterprises across Financial Services, Energy, and Healthcare, is opening its Lisbon offices for this one. We'll hear how Claude actually gets from prompt to production inside real enterprise environments, and get an unfiltered take on what it takes to keep AI slop out of systems that can't afford to break.

Expect real war stories, hard-won lessons, and high-level networking with Lisbon's top data scientists, ML engineers, and AI builders — with snacks and drinks to keep the conversation going.

📍 In-person: Indicium AI Offices Lisbon — Praça Marquês de Pombal 2, 1250-161 Lisbon

🗣️ Speakers

• Alex Juarez – Indicium AI — "From Prompt to Production: Using Claude in the Enterprise"
• Diogo Gonçalves – TensorOps — "The Game Changed. Did Your Team? - No AI Slop on Production-Critical Systems"

Hey everyone,
We're launching the Lisbon chapter of the AI Security Engineers Community, timed with Lisbon AI Week. Join us for an evening of talks on the security side of building with AI, plus a chance to meet the local community kicking things off.

Talk 1 - Understanding Prompt Injection Techniques, Challenges, and Advanced Escalation
Speaker: Brian Vermeer (Staff Developer Advocate, Snyk)
As developers, we're embracing AI and large language models (LLMs) in our applications more than ever. However, there's an increasing concern we need to be aware of: prompt injection. This sneaky attack can undermine our AI systems by manipulating the input to produce unintended outputs. In this session, we'll break down what prompt injection really means and look at some common techniques attackers use, like instruction overrides and hidden prompts. But we won't stop there; we'll also explore advanced challenges, including escalation techniques that can exacerbate the risks. Most importantly, we won't just identify the problem - we'll dive into practical steps you can take to mitigate these risks and keep your AI interactions secure.

Talk 2 - AAuth: The Electrification of Authorization
Speaker: Dick Hardt

OAuth is the internal combustion engine of authorization — excellent, and being optimized past its ceiling. Agents changed the fuel and the driver. AAuth deletes the fuel: no API key, no bearer token, no client registration, no redirect. And it retires the driver: instead of a consent screen for every turn, you give an agent a mission and a budget.

Dick Hardt is Founder and CEO of Hellō, a cooperative identity platform. He led the design of OAuth 2.0 and JSON Web Token, standards used by billions of people every day. He is now the author of AAuth, which does for agents what OAuth did for apps: gives agents access to resources without giving them credentials. Dick co-chairs the OpenID Foundation's IPSIE working group and co-authors OAuth 2.1, and previously founded ActiveState and Sxip Identity and led identity initiatives at Microsoft and Amazon. He lives in Lisbon with his wife and their dog.

Expect real talk about AI security threats, time to connect with Lisbon's AI and security community, and a proper kickoff for what we hope becomes a regular local chapter.

This event is part of Lisbon AI Week (lisbonaiweek.com).

A free evening talk, part of Lisbon AI Week: see what AI agents can do for your everyday work, with live demos. No coding needed.

Most people use AI as a chat window. You paste something in, copy the answer out, and next time you explain everything from scratch. AI agents work differently, it remembers your rules, connects to the services you already use and hands you a finished result: a report, a reply, a document ready to send.

In this free evening talk, part of the Lisbon AI Week programme www.lisbonaiweek.com, Egor Maraev shows what that looks like in practice. He'll walk through real examples from everyday work and build parts of an agent live on screen, so you can see every step.

What you'll see

• where the chat window stops being enough
• how to actually teach your ai agent do your repetitive tasks
• how an agent connects to email, spreadsheets and other services
• live demo: an agent taking a routine task from input to finished result
• how to pick your first task to automate and where to start

Who it's for People who already use ChatGPT or Claude and suspect they're only scratching the surface. Founders, managers, freelancers and anyone with work they repeat every week. No coding knowledge needed.

Your speaker Egor Maraev - founder of Robot & Sons, 13 years running businesses. Created an AI agents course with 100+ graduates and now runs hands-on AI agent workshops in Lisbon.

Good to know

• Language: English
• Free entry, registration required
• No laptop needed, just come and watch
• Want to build your own agent afterwards? The One Day Agent workshop is a 4-hour hands-on session where you build an agent for your own task. Next English session: 10 October. Details: https://onedayagent.company

Hi Lisbon 🚗 ,

Want to fuel your AI skills? Mark 29th September on your calendar and take a ride with Volkswagen Group Digital Solutions.

Volkswagen Group Digital Solutions Portugal is a tech partner dedicated to developing and operating digital solutions that support the Volkswagen Group's brands and business units. From software development to operations, we help drive innovation and scalable digital transformation across the Group.

Join us for two talks about what it means to build together with AI without losing our capacity to question and rethink our work:

Susana Koster - AI Won’t Replace Your Creativity Unless You Stop Thinking

AI is becoming incredibly good at giving us fast solutions to our problems. But what happens when we use those solutions before we have properly understood the problem? This presentation explores how we can use AI not as an answer machine, but as a thinking partner: to break down complex problems, challenge assumptions, explore different perspectives, and discover questions we hadn’t considered. We shouldn’t see the goal of making AI available to everyone as simply making our lives easier or helping us do more with less effort, but as an opportunity to become better thinkers instead. We shouldn’t use AI as an excuse to think less, but as a tool to think deeper, wider, and differently, while keeping human experience, critical thinking, creativity, and diversity of thought at the centre

Liliana Pereira - Who Wrote This Code? Critical Thinking in the Age of Vibe Coding

AI can now turn an idea into working code in seconds. And honestly, that’s pretty amazing. But what happens when we can generate code much faster than we can actually understand it? Vibe coding is changing the way we build software, but I think it also changes something deeper: how we think about the code we write.

In this talk, we’ll look at what happens when we start trusting code just because “it works.” How do we know what assumptions AI made? What happens when we hit an edge case? Can we explain the code without asking AI again? And, most importantly, would we know if AI got it wrong?

This isn’t a talk about stopping vibe coding. Quite the opposite. I want us to enjoy it, experiment with it, and use it to build things we couldn't build before. But as AI gets better at writing code, our ability to understand, question, and take responsibility for that code becomes even more important.

📅 Date: Tuesday, September 29th

📍 Location: Av. Duque de Ávila 21, 1050-053 Lisboa

⏰ Time: 6:30 pm

Pack your ideas and curiosity, and join us for an evening. This is your chance to explore new roads. We can’t wait to drive the future forward with you!

🚀 Tech Startups on the Rooftop is back in Lisbon!
After bringing together 60+ people at our first meetup and nearly 100 at the second, it’s safe to say this is becoming one of Lisbon’s go-to meetups for the tech and startup community.

Our last meetup was a packed rooftop evening with founders, freelancers, techies, startup enthusiasts, and curious minds — lots of conversations, new connections, and drinks in the heart of Lisbon.
And we’re doing it again!

🍂 October in Lisbon can still give us those perfect warm evenings, and we’re making the most of them while we can. This might be one of your last chances this year for rooftop drinks, sunset views, and startup conversations before the rainier months arrive. Don’t miss it.

Tech Startups on the Rooftop is Lisbon’s take on Tech Startups in the Pub — an event series that also runs in London, Milan, Warsaw, Lagos, Cape Town, Madrid and other cities. If you’ve been to one before, you already know the vibe.

If you haven't been before, this is what you need to know:
Tech Startups on the Rooftop is a relaxed evening at Carmo Rooftop, where people from the tech and startup community come together to meet, chat, and make new connections.
Whether you're a tech founder, an employee, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in.
This isn't about panels or pitching — just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.

📍 Where: Carmo Rooftop | Terraços do Carmo, Largo do Carmo, 1200-092 Lisboa, Portugal
🕕 When: Every second Thursday of the month, from 6 PM

🌬️ Rooftop survival tip: Lisbon may still feel like summer during the day, but rooftop evenings can get surprisingly breezy. Bring an extra layer, future you will thank you.

House Rules:

• No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chilled after-work meetup.
• Coming on your own? Absolutely fine — lots of people do. Or bring a friend and come meet some new ones.
• Not into non-soft drinks? Totally fine — come for the people, stay for the conversation.

So grab a drink, come swap stories from the trenches, meet some new people, and catch one more rooftop evening before Lisbon weather decides otherwise.
See you there! 🍻

A hands-on Lisbon workshop where you learn to build an AI agent for one of your routine work tasks — in 4 hours, no coding.

Build your own AI agent in 4 hours · Lisbon

Bring one task you repeat every week. Leave knowing how to build an agent for it, with a concrete plan. No coding required.

Why an agent, not a chat
You've used AI chats for months, and none of it turned into a tool. A chat starts from zero every session, forgets your rules when the tab closes, can't reach your files or services, and leaves the assembly work to you.
An agent keeps your rules as skills, lives in a project that persists between sessions, connects to your services over MCP and API, and hands you the finished result.

The 4 hours
• How an agent is built: how it differs from a chat, and how to give it a task you can check
• MCP connectors: your agent acts beyond its own folder
• Skills: your agent follows rules you saved once
• Context and project folders: a project you can pick up again tomorrow
• Connecting over API: one full process, from input to finished result

What you take home
• A configured project in Codex, ready to open again tomorrow
• Your own working skills: instructions that became repeatable processes
• Services connected to the tools you actually work in
• The method: how to hand your agent a new process, step by step, on your own

At the end of the session Egor goes through each participant's request, using his own AI assistant built to design automation plans. You leave with a precise action plan for your task.

Included in the price
• 4-hour in-person workshop in Lisbon, a group of 11: you build step by step alongside Egor
• An online group call a week later, to go through what you've built since
• 5 video lessons that go deeper into questions the session doesn't cover

What to bring
• A charged laptop with an adapter, any operating system
• A paid ChatGPT subscription, set up before you arrive. Claude works too, just tell us in advance
• About €5 of API credit for your own connections
• One real task from your job that you repeat and dislike

Roughly €25 in total on top of your ticket. Both the subscription and the credit stay yours.

Who this is for
Come if you already use AI chats and want to go further, you have a repeating task you'd happily never do by hand again, and you're comfortable installing things and following steps live.
Skip it if you're looking for a programming course (there's no code here), you'd rather watch than build, or you need an agent built for you rather than by you.

Who runs it
Egor Maraev, a practitioner, not a theorist. Founder of Robot & Sons · created an AI-agents course with 100+ graduates · 13 years running businesses. First a video production company, then a computer graphics studio, now Robot & Sons. Running his own companies, he automated much of the work himself, so he teaches from what already runs in his businesses.

What Egor's students say
"My production now has its own skills for SMM, articles, editorial checks, visuals, proposals and production documents. Codex handles briefs, estimates, Google Docs and the routine that used to eat hours." (Vladimir Miloserdov, owner, MILOSERDOV production)
"The lessons are built on real, applied tasks, so by the time you finish them you are already using AI agents in your life and projects." (Sergey Butysin, producer)
"After the first session I had solid ground under my feet, and after the second, real results at work." (Maxim Kalinichenko, director, head of production, VOSTOK)

Good to know
The session is not recorded: if you can't make it, we'll move you to another date. Full refund up to 14 days before. 7–13 days before: a 50% refund or a free move to another date. Closer than that: a free move to another date with 48 hours' notice. You can always send someone in your place.

A hands-on Lisbon workshop where you learn to build an AI agent for one of your routine work tasks — in 4 hours, no coding.

Build your own AI agent in 4 hours · Lisbon

Bring one task you repeat every week. Leave knowing how to build an agent for it, with a concrete plan. No coding required.

Why an agent, not a chat
You've used AI chats for months, and none of it turned into a tool. A chat starts from zero every session, forgets your rules when the tab closes, can't reach your files or services, and leaves the assembly work to you.
An agent keeps your rules as skills, lives in a project that persists between sessions, connects to your services over MCP and API, and hands you the finished result.

The 4 hours
• How an agent is built: how it differs from a chat, and how to give it a task you can check
• MCP connectors: your agent acts beyond its own folder
• Skills: your agent follows rules you saved once
• Context and project folders: a project you can pick up again tomorrow
• Connecting over API: one full process, from input to finished result

What you take home
• A configured project in Codex, ready to open again tomorrow
• Your own working skills: instructions that became repeatable processes
• Services connected to the tools you actually work in
• The method: how to hand your agent a new process, step by step, on your own

At the end of the session Egor goes through each participant's request, using his own AI assistant built to design automation plans. You leave with a precise action plan for your task.

Included in the price
• 4-hour in-person workshop in Lisbon, a group of 11: you build step by step alongside Egor
• An online group call a week later, to go through what you've built since
• 5 video lessons that go deeper into questions the session doesn't cover

What to bring
• A charged laptop with an adapter, any operating system
• A paid ChatGPT subscription, set up before you arrive. Claude works too, just tell us in advance
• About €5 of API credit for your own connections
• One real task from your job that you repeat and dislike

Roughly €25 in total on top of your ticket. Both the subscription and the credit stay yours.

Who this is for
Come if you already use AI chats and want to go further, you have a repeating task you'd happily never do by hand again, and you're comfortable installing things and following steps live.
Skip it if you're looking for a programming course (there's no code here), you'd rather watch than build, or you need an agent built for you rather than by you.

Who runs it
Egor Maraev, a practitioner, not a theorist. Founder of Robot & Sons · created an AI-agents course with 100+ graduates · 13 years running businesses. First a video production company, then a computer graphics studio, now Robot & Sons. Running his own companies, he automated much of the work himself, so he teaches from what already runs in his businesses.

What Egor's students say
"My production now has its own skills for SMM, articles, editorial checks, visuals, proposals and production documents. Codex handles briefs, estimates, Google Docs and the routine that used to eat hours." (Vladimir Miloserdov, owner, MILOSERDOV production)
"The lessons are built on real, applied tasks, so by the time you finish them you are already using AI agents in your life and projects." (Sergey Butysin, producer)
"After the first session I had solid ground under my feet, and after the second, real results at work." (Maxim Kalinichenko, director, head of production, VOSTOK)

Good to know
The session is not recorded: if you can't make it, we'll move you to another date. Full refund up to 14 days before. 7–13 days before: a 50% refund or a free move to another date. Closer than that: a free move to another date with 48 hours' notice. You can always send someone in your place.

​We’re kicking off the Tech Conference with a staaake Power Walk x Reverse Network side event. 🚶‍♂️✨

Connect First, Meet Later. Before the event, explore the LinkedIn profiles in the description and reach out. At the walk, you’ll meet them in person — no endless coffee chats, no back-to-back 15-minute calls.

​The Power Walk is more like a break where you kill two birds at once — get your steps in while meeting peers in tech and AI, founders, creators, and investors. Even if the group doesn’t click right away, you’ll leave with fresh air and 6,000+ steps.
