The HVG AI Talks 2026 conference will condense practical corporate approaches to AI into a single day: covering rapid implementations, cost-effective methods, workforce upskilling and concrete domestic case studies.
Péter Tiszavölgyi: fast rollouts using low-code and no-code
Péter Tiszavölgyi, co-founder and CTO of Stylers Group, argues that adopting artificial intelligence need not always be a lengthy and costly process. After gathering international experience, his team has completed more than fifty AI implementations at medium and large enterprises. He sees strategic use of low-code and no-code platforms as the key to success, shortening projects that would take months to weeks or days.
At HVG AI Talks, Tiszavölgyi will combine lessons from California’s innovation culture with Hungarian corporate practice and outline specific shortcuts that help avoid the most expensive mistakes during AI adoption.
Gábor Szórád: freeing up senior talent from routine work
Gábor Szórád brings more than 15 years of senior executive experience, having led organizations ranging from 50 to 8,200 people. He observes that a large share of top employees’ time is spent on tasks that machines can now perform. As founder of Integrate AI, he focuses on educating and helping SMEs implement AI.
Szórád’s book The Waterline, due this autumn, explains how to locate and automate the "invisible" work and how the capacity released can be redirected toward real business growth. On stage he will present no-nonsense, real Hungarian case studies showing what works in practice, where projects can falter, and when AI investments typically pay off.
Marco Mongiello: training and skills as the core of AI adoption
Marco Mongiello, co-founder of Zebrafish and a PhD in management accounting, stresses that AI is first and foremost a human issue: buying technology is not enough — teams must be taught to use it effectively. He works to ensure corporate teams acquire the new skills required in the AI era.
Mongiello has spoken about AI education at institutions including the United Nations and the House of Lords, and he is a co-author of AI research at the University of Oxford (AIEOU). His presentation will outline a strategic educational approach designed to ensure that new technologies bring tangible value rather than frustration.
