Support the AI Salon

The AI Salon brings decision-makers from business and the creative industries to the Funkhaus Wien to work through one question about AI together, in small spaces and with a decision at the end. AI Austria and chim.ai host it. Guests come free and by selection. Sponsors make the evenings possible.

Who comes

At "Sound Decisions" on 15 October 2026:

• 53 confirmed sign-ups, 37 guests at the Funkhaus Wien.
• 29 of the 53 decide on the use of AI at work.
• 28 from business, 11 from the creative industries, 14 from both.
• 87 % work with AI at least weekly, and 45 % run AI in production or build it for others.
• From one-person studios to corporations: 47 % from organisations of up to 10 people, 28 % from organisations with more than 250.

Guests came from global technology and consulting firms, a private bank, rail, public IT, industry, universities, research, agencies and media.

At "The Last CEO" on 27 March 2026, about 80 guests asked whether an AI should replace the CEO.

What sponsors get

• Visibility: your name and logo on the salon page, in the invitations, on the slides of the evening and in the review afterwards. We name you at the opening.
• A word from the stage: a short welcome, as the Fachgruppe UBIT Wien and the Funkhaus Wien gave at earlier salons.
• Seats: invitations for people from your organisation, within the curated guest list.
• The results: the anonymous results of the sign-up question and the decisions of the spaces, as soon as they are published.
• A report: after the evening, what your partnership reached: guests, mentions and the reach of the posts.

Guest data stays with the guests. Sponsors get no guest lists and no contact details, and there is no sales pitch in the spaces.
