SUMMARY:Find Your Next Step: A Strtegic Imagination Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When facing a complex business challenge\, speed is not your problem – clarity is. Isabel is a historian & founder of The Dream Lab. \n\n\n\n\nIn this 90-minute sprint\, you’ll use history\, contextual analysis\, and creative practice to uncover the invisible assumptions and forces actually shaping your decisions. Inspired by the strategic genius of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\, a 17th-century Mexican poet\, scholar\, and pioneer for women’s intellectual freedom\, we’ll explore how seeing your system differently changes your next move. Together\, we’ll map the true context of one real challenge you bring to the room\, challenge dominant narratives\, and leave with a new perspective and one concrete action to test. \n​Isabel is historian and the founder of The Dream Lab\, a practice that translates the ways historians\, artists\, and humanists think into capabilities that organizations increasingly need. The Dream Lab helps leaders and teams understand deeper\, imagine differently\, and act more consciously before jumping into solutions. \n​Join us for a morning of connection\, nourishment and learning at our SheSapiens breakfast (vegan/gluten free options) and masterclass. \n​We can’t wait to welcome you and explore what it means to take an active role in creating a life of lasting wellbeing.

SUMMARY:The $1B Solo Founder: Build Your Startup With AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to build a team of AI agents that can start creating revenue and automating your growth — starting tomorrow. \nIf you’re building a startup in Portugal\, don’t miss this hands-on\, in-person workshop. \nAI is changing the way startups are built. For the first time\, founders can do things that were previously impossible: build “solocorns” — companies with the potential to become unicorns\, built by a single founder. \nThe founders who understand this new way of building will have a massive advantage. \nInstead of hiring a team of 40+ people to handle sales\, marketing\, operations\, research\, customer support and more\, founders can now build teams of AI agents that work 24/7 and take on tasks that previously required entire teams of senior talent. \nCompanies are already shipping products\, launching GTM motions and experimenting faster than ever. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll show early-stage founders how to do it themselves. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nBuild your own team of AI agents\nAutomate repetitive work across your startup\nUse AI for sales\, marketing\, research and operations\nCreate AI-powered workflows that run 24/7\nMove faster without immediately growing your headcount\nStart building your startup like a solocorn

SUMMARY:AI Show & Tell — Porto
DESCRIPTION:AI is everywhere right now. \n​Everyone is following the hype\, but when you sit down to actually build something\, it’s a different story — there’s a lot to learn\, and the best way to learn how to build AI-native products\, AI workflows\, and agents\, is by doing and talking to those who are actually shipping them. \n​Pixelmatters is opening its doors to the Porto tech community for an evening of raw demos\, honest lessons\, and deep dives into the AI stack. \n​No slides. No theory. Just screens\, workflows\, and honest explanations of what’s working and what isn’t. \n  \n​🛠 What to Expect\n​Whether you’re a designer\, engineer\, or product manager\, junior or senior\, or as long as you’re into AI\, this is for you. \n​Live Build Breakdowns: See how designers\, product managers\, and engineers are actually using AI in their day-to-day work—tools\, setups\, prompts\, pipelines\, and all the messy in-between. \n​Real Demos: No “Hello World” examples. We want to see real examples of how people are building and shipping. \n​Deep Technical Insight: We’ll explore the “how” behind the “what” — integrating MCP servers\, prompt engineering at scale\, agentic architectures\, and post-chat interfaces. \n​The Porto AI Community: Connect with local builders who are navigating the same challenges you are. \n  \n​📅 Agenda\n​17:30 – 18:00: Welcome & Check-in \n​18:00 – 19:30: Live Demos by: \n​Tiago Coelho | CTO at Pixelmatters \n​TBA \n​19:30 – 20:30: Chats & Drinks \n  \n​🎯 Who Should Attend?\n​Designers & Engineers looking to optimize their workflow with AI. \n​Product people shaping the next generation of AI tools. \n​AI Explorers who have moved past the basics and are ready for expert-level conversation. \n​Anyone who believes that the best way to learn is to see things in action. \n  \n​🚀 About Pixelmatters\n​Pixelmatters is a digital product studio.
