PontIA Connect

Madrid · Talent Garden Madrid

Hosted by PontIA

PontIA Connect brings AI talks, a live generative AI demonstration and industry networking to Talent Garden Madrid on 23 October 2026, from 4pm to 9pm. Designed to connect current AI developments with practical business applications, this five-hour, in-person event offers an opportunity to understand how artificial intelligence works, discover innovations shaping the sector and meet professionals involved in the technology’s future. It is organised by PontIA and takes place at Talent Garden Madrid, Calle de Juan de Mariana 15, in Madrid. What to expect Doors open at 3:30pm, giving attendees time to register, collect their accreditation and explore the networking area before the main programme begins. The early access period also includes talent stands, where attendees can meet companies looking for data specialists. At 4pm, PontIA CEO Jesús Garrido will open the event with an introduction to the day and a roadmap for the real-world application of AI across today’s business landscape. A featured session follows at 4:15pm: “Does artificial intelligence think? Live Tokenizer demonstration”, led by Carlos Moreno, Head of AI at BBVA. This practical talk will demystify generative AI and examine why language models operate through statistics and probability rather than human-style reasoning. Attendees will see how these systems: - Divide written language into tokens - Transform text into numerical representations - Predict the next word from its surrounding context - Change their responses when model settings are adjusted Using OpenAI’s Tokenizer in a live, on-screen demonstration, Moreno will show how a machine processes language. He will also adjust parameters such as model temperature in real time, illustrating how these controls can affect the creativity of generated responses. Who it is for PontIA Connect is relevant to people who want to keep up with AI trends and understand their application in business, as well as professionals interested in data, generative AI and the wider technology sector. Its combination of an accessible technical explanation, practical demonstration, company stands and networking creates value for both those exploring AI concepts and those seeking new industry connections.… Register for this event
