Apica Ascent Night Stockholm 2026

An Evening for the Teams Building AI-Ready Infrastructure

By Invitation May 6, 2026 Epicenter Malmskillnadsgatan 44a, 111 57 Stockholm, Sweden

About the Evening

The Night Before the Summit

The day before diving in at the AWS Summit Stockholm, join Apica for an evening designed for the people doing the real work: the engineers, architects, and operations leaders figuring out how to build infrastructure that can actually support AI.

The Apica Ascent Night is an intimate gathering built around good drinks, honest conversation, and a practical look at what it means to be “Agentic Ready” in 2026.

What to Expect

A Format Built Around Real Conversation

Ascent Night is a chance to hear directly from Apica’s CPTO Andi Mann on where AI infrastructure is heading, see live product demos built around real customer scenarios, and spend the rest of the evening talking with peers who are dealing with the same challenges you are. The format is designed around real conversation and practical takeaways, not a pitch deck.

Why Come

Reasons This Evening Is Worth Your Time

Hear from Andi Mann, CPTO

Andi has spent decades at the intersection of enterprise IT and emerging technology. His perspective on Agentic AI infrastructure is both practical and timely.

See the Business Case, Live

No slides-only demos. We’ll show real customer scenarios with real numbers: what they were spending, what changed, and what they built.

Meet Your Peers

The attendees in the room will be facing the same challenges you are. This is the format where that actually turns into useful conversation.

Walk Away with Something Actionable

Not a brochure. Practical knowledge you can bring back to your team the next morning.

The gap between enterprises that thrive with AI and those that struggle comes down to data readiness. Agentic Ready isn’t a product feature. It’s an infrastructure decision you make now.

Chief Product & Technology Officer, Apica

FAQs

Common Questions

Who should attend Ascent Night?

Engineering leaders, cloud architects, and operations teams dealing with observability complexity, rising vendor costs, or preparing infrastructure for AI agents.

Is this a sales event?

There will be a product demo — we're not hiding that. But the evening is structured around real conversation and practical takeaways, not a pitch deck.

What is Apica Ascent?

Apica Ascent includes a modern observability stack covering telemetry pipelines (Flow), agent management (Fleet), data storage (Lake), and analytics (Observe). The demo shows how customers use these together today.

How do I register?

What does "Agentic-Ready" mean?

It means your telemetry, data pipelines, storage, and routing are built to support AI agents reliably at scale. Andi's session covers what that looks like and where most teams fall short.

Reserve Your Spot

Space is limited. If you’re attending AWS Summit Stockholm and want to spend the evening prior with people building serious AI infrastructure, this is where to be.
