16. – 17. September 2026 – Kristiansand
The AI Shift
The technology is ready. Is your organisation?
Join Norway’s leading tech and business conference.
Meet 1,200+ business leaders, growth entrepreneurs and decision-makers who are taking the AI shift seriously.
The AI Shift
Artificial intelligence is no longer an experiment, it is a new operational reality. The organisations that succeed are not those with the most pilots, but those that have embedded AI into how they create value, make decisions and organise work. The AI shift is therefore not just about technology – it is about leadership, competence and the ability to build organisations that actually put the technology to use.
The question is not whether AI will change your business, but whether you are ready to lead it through that shift.

Techpoint and Kunstsilo invite you to an extraordinary Dinner Party on 16 September. Nearly 250 guests will gather in the world’s most beautiful museum for this amazing happening.
Kunstsilo in Kristiansand was awarded the prestigious Prix Versailles on 4 December as the world’s most beautiful museum. The former grain silo in Kristiansand has been transformed into one of Northern Europe’s most innovative powerhouses for art and cultural experiences.
The Dinner Party at Kunstsilo is an evening that shows what Techpoint is truly about: connecting people, ideas, and opportunities, not only on stage but around the tables.
The main stage at Techpoint is located in the concert hall at Kilden Performing Arts Centre, which is Norway’s second-largest performing arts institution. Kilden is a leading force and standard-bearer for the entire Southern Norway region, and an arena for major artistic experiences and visionary projects.
On 4 December, Kunstsilo in Kristiansand was awarded the prestigious Prix Versailles prize as the world’s most beautiful museum. Kunstsilo is a former grain silo on Odderøya in Kristiansand, transformed into one of Northern Europe’s most innovative hubs for art and cultural experiences.
Kristiansand culture school is right beside Kilden and Kunstsilo, and is an annual venue for Techpoint events. Knuden is more than a school, it is a creative community and a vibrant cultural centre in the heart of Kristiansand. Knuden is one of the city’s largest producers of concerts and performances.
Techpoint is an impressive platform where technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship come together. Techpoint demonstrates how Norway can be a force in technology and business in the Nordic region. Being part of Techpoint was a true joy. Techpoint inspires, engages, and creates real opportunities.
Kristiansand may not be the biggest city in the world, but the Techpoint program is world-class — every year. It puts technology, leadership, the future, and innovation on the agenda, led by some of the brightest minds in the industry. Such an honor to be part of it!
Techpoint was an amazing experience. There were more than one thousand people, high profiled people – and more important the vibes were really, really cool. People were so enthusiastic. Techpoint is one of the best conferences in Europe. Check it out!
Techpoint is one the most professional and pleasant conferences I have spoken at. Great atmosphere and finally a conference where the content was not rushed through, but ample time was taken for discussion and reflection.
Techpoint in Norway was an amazing experience! With 1,100+ attendees, it was a superbly organized event. Kilden Performing Arts Centre and Kunstsilo in Kristiansand was the perfect backdrop, a beautiful setting for big ideas on digitalization, AI, and human transformation.
