The Uncertainty Principle
Peter Hinssen, International keynote speaker & lecturer, bestselling author, serial entrepreneur & active investor

With the keynote “The Uncertainty Principle”, Peter Hinssen sets the strategic frame for the entire day and addresses a reality we are already experiencing: a Never Normal era, where AI, technology and geopolitics create constant movement, and where classic strategic plans are no longer enough.

In the keynote, you can look forward to:

• A new leadership mindset for a world defined by continuous change
• Inspiration on how to turn uncertainty into a driver for learning and innovation
• Practical principles for building momentum and innovation, with AI as a catalyst
• An honest and optimistic perspective on AI - neither hype nor doomsday, but an opportunity to shape the organizations of the future
• A shared “why now / what next” narrative that provides context for the rest of the day’s presentations

As Peter Hinssen himself puts it: “This is a keynote about a Never Normal future - built on hope, possibility and progress.”

We are excited to open AI & Data Day 2026 with a strong strategic starting point and a shared perspective on what the AI transformation is calling for right now.

To succeed with AI, study people
Linda Leopold, Keynote speaker, strategic advisor & published author, Former Head of AI Strategy at H&M Group

While companies are busy rolling out AI tools and strategies, employees and customers are forming their own relationships with AI – relationships most leaders don not see. Drawing on global research, emerging behavioural patterns - from shadow AI to intimate chatbot relationships - and her own experience as a senior AI leader, Linda Leopold reveals why AI success has more to do with people than technology.

She will also share insights from leading Responsible AI initiatives, with a particular focus on how organizations can build more human-centred AI strategies. You will learn why paying closer attention to how people relate to AI is critical, and how to translate those insights into smarter, more responsible AI strategies.

AI-drevet digital kunderejse i Billund Airport
Lars Stabell Ellegaard, Head of Digital Transformation, Billund Lufthavn

Billund Airport arbejder målrettet med et ambitiøst transformations program, der skal positionere lufthavnen som den mest digitaliserede regionale lufthavn i 2030. Et centralt element i denne strategi er udviklingen af en sammenhængende digital kunderejse, der spænder fra det øjeblik, hvor rejsen overvejes og lufthavnen vælges, til passageren er sikkert hjemme igen.

For at understøtte denne vision har Billund Airport udarbejdet et AI-baseret CX-roadmap, hvor blandt andet en digital avatar fungerer som supplement til de eksisterende fysiske servicemedarbejdere. Sammen med mere traditionelle digitaliseringsinitiativer bidrager løsningen til en mere sammenhængende, intuitiv og stressfri rejse - med Billund Airport som det naturlige omdrejningspunkt.

Reporting isn’t dead - It’s becoming interactive
Jon Stjernegaard Vöge, Principal Business Consultant, Microsoft Data Platform MVP, Inspari

There’s a growing narrative that AI agents, alerts, and automated insights will replace reporting. This session challenges that assumption.

Join Jon for a deep dive on how reporting remains essential - not as static output, but as an interactive layer where decisions actually happen. We’ll look at why one-way reporting is no longer enough, how write-back and embedded actions change its role, and why organizations that abandon reporting risk losing clarity rather than gaining intelligence.

The session will include practical examples and demos using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI but is relevant for any tech stack.

Fra AI-strategi til eksperimenter i praksis 
Tina Hørbye Christensen, CEO, Rejsekort & Rejseplan

Hvordan omsætter du en AI-strategi til reel adfærd, læring og værdiskabelse i hverdagen uden at kvæle innovationen i regler eller miste kontrollen? I Rejsekort & Rejseplan arbejder Tina Hørbye Christensen og hendes team målrettet med at skabe netop den balance.

I denne præsentation får du et indblik i, hvordan organisationen kombinerer en eksperimenterende tilgang med mantraet - “start småt, test hurtigt og lær undervejs” - med et solidt fundament af governance, AI-champions, AI-cafeer og klare rammer, der giver medarbejderne både tryghed og frihed til at udforske teknologien.
 
Du får eksempler på konkrete AI-initiativer, herunder brugen af Copilot, AI-assistenter og lokale eksperimenter, samt de dilemmaer og erfaringer, der naturligt opstår, når du skal balancere autonomi, compliance og ansvarlig brug af AI. Præsentationen giver samtidig et ærligt indblik i, hvorfor en AI-strategi kun virker, hvis den også understøtter og udvikler virksomhedskulturen.

Agentic Coding: How to succeed with development done by AI
Nicholas Christian Mortensen, Senior Business Consultant, Inspari &
Philipp Schmalen, Senior Data Scientist, Inspari

This session offers a grounded look at agentic coding, based on real-world experience with what is possible today and where the limits are. Agentic coding is presented as a structured way of guiding AI agents to carry out defined development tasks with clear goals and controls, and not as free-form “vibe coding” or unsupervised automation. We walk through how agents can be guided to produce useful outcomes, using concrete examples. The session aims to build a shared understanding and open a dialogue on how agentic coding could fit into your existing ways of working.

What COWI learned moving from function-based reporting to enterprise decision intelligence 
Sara Mehrabi, VP, Data, Analytics & Decision Intelligence, COWI 

This session reflects on what it actually takes to move beyond traditional reporting and dashboards towards decision intelligence at an enterprise level. Drawing on real experience from a large, complex, global organisation, the talk explores how strong and trustworthy data foundations enable organisations to combine multiple data dimensions, move past siloed analytics, and support better decisions at both leadership and operational levels.

Rather than focusing on technology for its own sake, the session shares practical lessons learned while scaling enterprise analytics and AI capabilities: what worked, what did not, and where the real challenges emerged. It looks at the natural evolution from reports to dashboards and asks what comes next, introducing a more decision-centred approach to business intelligence that prioritises context, integration and action over visuals alone; with a clear focus on enabling better outcomes, operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.

Intelligent AI agents in action
Mathias Halkjær Petersen, Principal Solution Architect, Microsoft Data Platform MVP, Inspari

We have probably all heard the same advice: focus on the data foundation if you want tomorrow’s AI to succeed. The premise was that as the technology matured, we could stop constantly playing catch-up and instead start preparing diligently. In the meantime, the technology did mature, and today, if that foundation is in place, infusing AI agents with data is only a few clicks away.

Join this hands-on session to see how Microsoft Fabric can turn a data platform into intelligent AI agents in minutes. We will cover the building blocks, explore advanced capabilities, and cover use cases that show how data agents bring data to life inside and outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
