Tech Events in Stockholm

Stockholm has one of Europe's strongest product, fintech, and games-industry event calendars. The city's concentration of consumer-facing scaleups (Klarna, Spotify, iZettle, King, Mojang) shows up in unusually strong product-management, growth, and data-product event content. Events that in other cities would be engineering-focused tilt toward product experimentation and metric-driven design here.

The games scene is equally distinctive thanks to Stockholm's role as one of Europe's game-development capitals. Beyond that, there's a steady rhythm of software engineering, DevOps, and AI-applied meetups. English is the default working language for essentially all of the event scene.

Build vs Buy in AI-enabled Manufacturing About

AI assisted development is rapidly changing what manufacturers can realistically build in house. As the technology matures, the traditional “build vs. buy” decision is becoming more nuanced: which capabilities should be developed internally, which are better sourced from established vendors, and where does a hybrid approach make the most sense?

Join us for an evening exploring a practical, layered framework for making these decisions across productivity tools, enterprise applications, and industrial foundations and orchestration.

We’ll look at where ownership can create a meaningful competitive advantage, where vendor expertise remains difficult to replicate, and how manufacturers can balance speed, reliability, risk, differentiation, and long-term flexibility.

What to Expect
  • A practical framework for evaluating build, buy, and hybrid decisions in AI-enabled manufacturing
  • Real-world examples from manufacturing organizations navigating these choices today
  • Perspectives on how AI is changing the economics and feasibility of building in-house
  • A discussion on where vendor expertise and industrial domain knowledge remain critical
  • Panel Q&A with experienced practitioners
  • Strategic and hands-on perspectives relevant to both business and technology leaders
  • Food, drinks, and informal networking with peers from the Swedish manufacturing ecosystem
  • Actionable takeaways you can bring back to your team and leadership the next day

#39 - Model Optimization & CPU Based Inferencing

Stockholm, 🇸🇪 Sweden

***Do note that you will have to sign-up at the Luma event page prior to attending. Do so here: https://luma.com/4si349kz***

All right!!!

Meetup #39 will take place September 24 at AI Sweden and focus on "Model Optimization & CPU Based Inferencing". We're super excited to team up with Spanish Quantum AI wizards Multiverse Computing and tech giants Intel and HPE. The program is currently being worked out, so stay tuned for updates!

There is a tremendous amount happening in the area of model optimization and inferencing. Novel approaches to both seem to be announced daily, such as making it possible to run the recently released 2.78 trillion parameter model Kimi K3 on a single CPU with 8GB of memory...!!! or Multiverse Computing's July 23 announcement that all their compressed models now run on Intel Xeon 6 Processors.

So buckle up and brace for impact!

Event Program
- Doors open at 17:00 CET
- Talks begin at 17:45 CET
- There will be pizzas & drinks
- There may be a moderated Q&A session....

Speaker Line-Up TBD...

- Franco Serra, Solutions Architect at Multiverse Computing will give a talk titled "Ultra Efficient Models to Scale your GenAI Datacenter & Fit for purpose on the Edge deployment". Abstract: As organizations race to deploy Generative AI, two challenges dominate: how to scale inference economically in the datacenter, and how to bring intelligence on the edge where connectivity, power and footprint are constrained. Multiverse Computing makes ultra-efficient, compressed AI models, including LLMs, VLMs, speech-to-text, and computer vision models — engineered to deliver the same accuracy with a fraction of the memory requirements. By integrating with Intel® hardware, enterprises can deploy larger AI models on existing infrastructure rather than expanding it. In the datacenter, leaner models translate directly into higher throughput, lower energy consumption, and improved ROI by enabling more users and workloads to run on the same infrastructure. At the edge, the same compression breakthroughs make it possible to deploy GenAI in constrained environments — bringing secure, low-latency AI to tactical environments.

- Jonas Svennebring, Principal Engineer at Intel and Theo Charitidis, Machine Learning Engineer also at Intel will give a talk titled "Architecting the future AI/ML CPUs". Abstract: The future of AI/ML capable CPUs will depend on architectures that balance computational performance, memory efficiency, and adaptability. To that end, it is essential that high multiply-accumulate (MAC) throughput enabled, supported by a well-balanced memory subsystem. Another key architectural guidance is figuring out which workloads should realisticly run on general-purpose cores and which should be delegated to specialized accelerators. Finally, supporting the correct dynamic range and numerical precision will be critical for striking the right balance between reliable application results and minimizing hardware costs."

- Johan Fondin, Solution Architect at HPE will give a talk titled "Out of the box KV-cache acceleration". Abstract: How do you increase the number of concurrent sessions on a GPU by a hundredfold, and 20x times faster as well? Learn how HPE solves this issue with their new KV-cache acceleration technology for AI platforms .

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Contract-first APIs and Authentication/Authorization in ASP.NET Core.

Stockholm, 🇸🇪 Sweden

Contract-first Minimal APIs and Authentication/Authorization in ASP.NET Core.
Join us for two talks on ASP.NET Core. Renato Golia shares his experiences with Contract-first REST APIs with ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs and Anders Abel gives an overview of Authentication and Authorization in ASP.NET Core.

AGENDA
17.30 Doors open
17.45 Session 1 - Renato Golia
18.30 Food and drinks
19.00 Session 2 - Anders Abel
20.00 Questions, Discussions and Mingle
20.30 Event ends

Contract-first REST APIs with ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs

Most ASP.NET Core APIs treat OpenAPI as documentation generated from the implementation. That works well at first, but it can make the contract feel secondary: clients discover breaking changes late, API reviews happen after the code is written, and documentation can drift from what consumers expect.

In this session, we’ll look at a contract-first approach for building REST APIs with ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs, where the OpenAPI document becomes the source of truth rather than a by-product. We’ll explore what this changes in the development workflow, how strongly typed contracts can help keep implementation and specification aligned, and what trade-offs come with moving the API contract to the center of the design process.

We’ll also compare this approach with the more common code-first style in .NET.

Based on the experience of hundreds of customer projects Anders shares his recommendations for authentication and authorization with Asp.Net Core.

ASP.NET Core Authentication and Authorization - the Key Concepts
This is an introductory session that will show the basic concepts of Authentication and Authorization in Asp.Net Core and how they interact. Topics that are covered include:

  • Authentication Schemes: Configuration and working with multiple schemes.
  • Asp.Net Identity: When to use it and how it affects the schemes used.
  • Data Protection: How it is used behind the scenes and the configuration required before going to production.
  • Authorization Policies: How to use them with a minimum of ceremony.

Renato Golia
Renato Golia is a software architect and developer with a focus on .NET, cloud-based distributed systems, and infrastructure. He works day-to-day with ASP.NET Core, AWS, Azure, and Terraform, mostly on systems where API design, integrations, and operational concerns are tightly connected to the architecture.
He has also created and maintained several open-source projects for .NET developers, with over 12 million downloads on NuGet. His work spans API design, contract-driven development, and cloud architecture, with a recurring interest in keeping system boundaries explicit enough to evolve over time.

Anders Abel
Anders Abel is a senior .NET developer in Stockholm. He has been programming since he was 9 and still thinks it’s tremendously fun. When asked what he does for a living he often responds "building login buttons". Anders has extensive experience on Single Sign On and API security. His Saml2 library is trusted by millions of users world wide and he has deep expertise on OAuth and OpenID Connect from his work on Duende IdentityServer.

Rapportlansering: Vem är det som kör egentligen?

Stockholm, 🇸🇪 Sweden

Varför saknar Sverige självkörande bilar – och hur kommer vi ikapp?

I USA gör Waymos förarlösa robottaxis över en halv miljon betalda resor varje vecka. I Kina rullar kommersiell robottaxitrafik i ett tjugotal städer, och under 2026 har de första kommersiella tjänsterna startat i Europa. Självkörande bilar rullar nu på tre kontinenter, ökar trafiksäkerheten drastiskt, sänker transportkostnaderna och frigör värdefull yta i våra städer.

Men i Sverige lyser de med sin frånvaro. Trots att svenska bolag är med och utvecklar spetstekniken i världsklass finns det inte en enda kommersiell självkörande bil på svenska vägar. Vi lever kvar i försöksstadiet medan omvärlden har växlat upp till reguljär drift.

Varför har Sverige hamnat efter? Och framför allt: Vad krävs för att vi ska ta klivet in i framtiden?

Välkommen på rapportlansering och seminarium där rapportförfattarna Rutger Brattström och Lowe Lundin presenterar sin nya rapport. Innehållet kommer sedan att diskuteras av en panel. Rapporten kartlägger de rättsliga och politiska hindren i Sverige, jämför med länder som Frankrike, Kroatien och USA som kommit längre, samt lägger fram en konkret handlingsplan för hur Sverige kan ge grönt ljus för självkörande fordon på våra vägar.

Ur programmet:

  • Framtiden är redan här – men inte i Sverige
  • Vad Sverige har att vinna
  • Varför har Sverige inte kommit längre?
  • RĂĄd och konkreta reformförslag
  • Panelsamtal

Välkommen att ta del av rapporten som beskriver varför Sverige ligger efter och hur vi kan komma ikapp!

FrĂĄn verklighet till digital tvilling: visualisering av event

Stockholm, 🇸🇪 Sweden

Se hur 3D-scanning och digitala tvillingar används för att visualisera, planera och utveckla event innan produktionen byggs.

Tänk om du kunde kliva in i ditt event innan det ens har byggts.

Med hjälp av 3D-scanning går det idag att skapa en digital tvilling av en arena, mässhall eller eventyta. En exakt digital kopia av den verkliga miljön blir ett levande arbetsverktyg där idéer kan testas, scenografi byggas, teknik planeras och hela upplevelsen visualiseras långt innan det första flightcaset rullas in.

I den här föreläsningen visar 3D-designer Isak Felldin hur digitala tvillingar och 3D-visualisering kan användas genom hela processen, från försäljning och kreativ utveckling till projektering och färdig produktion.

Med exempel från verkliga projekt får du se hur visualisering kan skapa bättre beslutsunderlag, förenkla samarbetet mellan olika delar av produktionen och ge en tydligare väg från idé till genomförande.

Det handlar alltså inte bara om att skapa snygga bilder. Det handlar om att skapa en digital kopia av verkligheten som gör det möjligt att planera, testa och fatta beslut innan produktionen byggs på plats.

Föreläsningen riktar sig till dig som arbetar med event, AV, scenproduktion eller mässor och vill se hur nästa generations visualiseringsverktyg redan idag används för att utveckla och effektivisera produktioner.
