AI strategy is a creative act. With AI Salon, AI Austria is launching a community that brings together people from the creative industries, business and industry to explore AI decisions from different perspectives.
Hosted by Michael Katzlberger, founder of 3LIOT.ai, and Dr. Andreas Fraunberger, founder of chim.ai, the community creates space for creative leaders and business decision-makers to learn from one another and work through practical questions together.
Each edition combines a talk from a creative field with the Think Tank: an interactive format in which guests take over and work in small groups on one real AI decision. Curated participation brings different experiences and approaches into the room, making discussion and collaboration central to the evening.
Launch event: “Sound Decisions” at Funkhaus Wien
On Thursday, 15 October 2026, AI Salon will bring 45 decision-makers to Funkhaus Wien for an evening exploring AI, audio and the choices organizations face as these technologies enter their work.
Clemens and Andreas will open the evening with an introduction to AI strategy as a creative act. Michael Katzlberger will then explore AI and audio, drawing on the subject of his new book, KI und Audio, published on 8 October.
The discussion then moves to the Think Tank, held in English, where participants work through a real AI decision together. Drinks and networking round off the evening.
