Events company HIPTHER has launched the HIPTHER AI Summit 2027, a one-day conference dedicated to artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, to be held in Prague on 25 March 2027.
The summit will take place at OREA Hotel Andels Praha immediately after the HIPTHER Prague Summit on 23–24 March, turning HIPTHER Prague Week into a three-day programme. Organisers say the new day will stick to AI and cybersecurity, with no additional tracks.
It is aimed at AI founders, developers, researchers, CTOs, CISOs, investors, security professionals and policymakers from Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, the Balkans, the D-A-CH region and further afield.
The programme
The agenda is split into three formats. The first stage will host panels, keynotes, case studies and regulatory sessions; the second will be given over to the startup competition; and a HIPTHER Academy strand will run four practitioner-led courses with limited places, with subjects and enrolment details to follow.
Topics listed include generative AI and large language models, AI agents, enterprise adoption, threat intelligence and security operations, AI in fraud detection and anti-money laundering, ransomware response, Zero Trust, the EU AI Act and security for regulated industries.
How the startup challenge works
The HIPTHER AI & Cybersecurity Startup Challenge is open to early-stage companies in either field, with a €40,000 investment for the overall winner.

What the organiser said
Zoltan Tündik, co-founder and head of business at HIPTHER, said the event was designed to offer a narrower focus than general technology conferences. “We built the HIPTHER AI Summit to cut through the noise and create a focused space,” he said, adding that participants “can connect directly with investors and industry leaders”.
