As intelligence moves into the physical world, technical breakthroughs are only the start. Building scalable companies takes the infrastructure to move from simulation to deployment, and founders who can turn new capabilities into products people will adopt. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Liminal are bringing together founders, builders, and operators across that frontier to explore what's already being built, what it takes to deploy Physical AI at scale, and where the next generation of companies could emerge. Drawing on AWS's experience powering Physical AI workloads and Amazon's deployment of more than 1 million robots, alongside Liminal's experience co-building with top-flight founders and entrepreneurial scientists, we'll explore the technology, companies, and people shaping this next wave. What to expect: Why Physical AI, why now Why Physical AI could represent the next major platform shift after generative AI, and what's making it possible now. From simulation to deployment What it takes to move intelligent systems from controlled environments into the physical world. Who builds what comes next What to look for in founders taking on technically difficult, category-defining problems. Physical AI in action Meet startups building at the edge of Physical AI and see their technology in action.

Advancing AI Proficiency ClawCamp Berlin is a free, one-day builder camp for the agentic-AI community, run as a non-profit. Edition #2 is about one thing: advancing AI proficiency. Whether you're about to install your first agent or you already run agents in production, you leave able to do something you couldn't do that morning. Bring whatever you build with: OpenClaw, LangGraph, the Claude Agent SDK, CrewAI, n8n, or something you wrote yourself. The question isn't which stack. It's whether the thing runs. How the day works We set the programme live at the opening at 14:00. Sessions, rooms and workshop times are decided with the room, so please be there on time. Doors open at 13:30. Opening: the theme, the plan for the day, and the unconference board. Pitch a session or pick one Afternoon, two tracks in parallel. On-ramp: get your first agent running. Mentors walk you through installing and configuring an agent with an AI assistant, then using it. Bring a laptop; no experience needed Unconference: sessions proposed by the room and run by the room, for builders who want to go deeper Showcase: the launch of the Agentic Hackathon on 27 November (challenges presented, teams formed), a short builder panel, and live five-minute demos from the community Networking to close, until 20:00 Everyone on stage is in the room, no remote talks. Snacks when you arrive, drinks through the day. Who's in the room Edition #1 in July: 320+ registered, 100+ in the room, from 240+ employers. Around 4 in 10 registrants who gave a role were founders, C-level or team leads; about 1 in 4 were engineers, data or AI practitioners; the rest researchers, students, product, business and independent builders Every level: 4 in 10 of those who answered were new to agents or just getting started, 6 in 10 already building at an intermediate or advanced level That mix is why edition #2 runs two tracks. Show what you built Five minutes, on stage, in person, something that runs. Tick the demo box when

Ever wished your Electronic Health Record (EHR) worked the way you do? Build your ideas with Lovable. Rethink EHRs with Leyr. Join Leyr and Lovable in Stockholm for Build Your EHR - a free, in-person buildathon for clinicians, healthcare professionals, students and curious builders who want to reimagine the electronic health record. Too many clicks. Rigid workflows. Patient data scattered across systems. Notes that take longer than they should. If you work in healthcare, you probably have a list of things you wish your EHR did differently. This is your chance to turn those frustrations into something tangible; a prototype shaped around how you actually work. Whether you want to rethink clinical documentation, create a clearer patient overview, simplify follow-ups or design a workflow that fits your specialty, bring a problem you know firsthand. You don't need to build an entire EHR in an afternoon. Start with the part you wish worked better. We're hosting the day at SQUARE in Stockholm on Sunday, 15 November, from 12:00–16:00. We'll kick off with a fireside chat with people who have built EHRs, exploring what inspired them, what they learned and what happens when clinicians help shape the tools they use. Then it's your turn. With Lovable and guidance from Leyr, you'll go from problem to prototype in one afternoon. Build, test and share ideas with people who understand the realities of healthcare - and help start a conversation between clinicians and EHR builders about what needs to change. After the buildathon, join us for a virtual Demo Day on Tuesday, 17 November at 17:00. You'll present your prototype and receive feedback on your idea and how it could fit into real clinical workflows. By the end, you'll walk away with a working prototype, fresh perspectives from fellow clinicians and builders, and a clearer view of what's possible when you design around clinical needs. Agenda: Build Your EHR 12:00 → Doors open + snacks & mingle 12:15 → Welcome remarks from Leyr
