LEDEX Forum will bring more than 100 business leaders to the Algarve on 15 October 2026 for a one-day, English-language conference focused on practical uses of artificial intelligence in business.
The event is aimed at founders, CEOs, managers, department heads and other people responsible for business decisions, with attendees expected from Portugal and across Europe. LEDEX Forum is built around a simple organising question—what can a business owner do after each talk—and speakers will share how they have used AI in their organisations, the decisions they made, the work involved and the lessons learned.
Sessions will address areas where AI is already affecting day-to-day business, including customer communication, marketing, research, administration and planning. The forum is intended for leaders assessing where AI could be useful in their companies rather than for developers or technical specialists.
LEDEX Forum: programme and partners
The full-day programme will focus on working examples, practical decisions and next steps for business leaders. LOFT Community has joined LEDEX Forum as a partner; LOFT connects remote workers, entrepreneurs, digital nomads and independent professionals across Loulé, Olhão, Faro and Tavira. LEDEX Forum has also announced a partnership with SheSapiens Algarve, a community for female founders, business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants and creatives that meets monthly in Olhão, Vilamoura and Lagos. Both partnerships link the Forum to people building businesses across the Algarve and share the event’s emphasis on practical ideas and useful conversations for business people.
