This is the hands-on practical workshop.
In small teams, you’ll work with a real dataset and build your own version of a trustworthy AI agent: getting it to form a testable idea, checking that idea against evidence it hasn’t seen, and recording why it made the call it did.
Partway through, new evidence will overturn an early decision. You’ll see the difference between an AI that just remembers a summary and one that keeps an auditable record of what changed and why, and you’ll practise making that call yourself.
You’ll leave with a repeatable workflow for building AI agents you can trust, plus a simple one-page template for documenting how your own agent makes decisions.
Who it’s for:
Developers, product and digital teams, and founders who want hands-on practice, not just the concept.
Best suited to people who are comfortable with the idea of working with an AI agent directly or who plan on seeing Stefania’s keynote at Tech Summit the day prior (www.techsummit.nz).

A personal investing workshop drawing on what usually sits behind the paywall at Into The Cryptoverse: the risk models, the frameworks, the way he actually thinks through market cycles and volatility. It’s a chance to ask your own questions directly, in person, to one of the most followed voices in crypto and macro investing worldwide.
Ben applies a scientific, evidence-based approach to reading market cycles and liquidity conditions, translating complex economic signals into practical insight for both individual investors and business leaders navigating volatile markets. His commentary spans equities, commodities and crypto, all read through the same macroeconomic lens.
His focus is on helping you build a well-rounded understanding of the market landscape, so you can navigate volatility with more confidence.
