On July 4, Georgia’s premier technology conference Change Inspire<\/a> reached a new milestone, hosting over 800 participants in what organizers called their largest and most ambitious event to date. The sixth edition, held at Pullman Tbilisi Axis Towers, centered entirely around artificial intelligence under the theme “League of AI Champions,” with Forbes Georgia as the main media partner and Palitra Holding as extended media support.<\/p>\n

“Today, we held the sixth conference, which was the largest one we’ve organized so far, hosting 800 participants,” said Nino Gvazava<\/strong>, CEO of HT Solutions<\/a> and founder of Change Inspire. “The main topic was artificial intelligence, which draws significant interest not only among IT specialists but also among the general public.”<\/p>\n

Change Inspire started in 2018 with 150 participants and has grown to become a major regional technology event that reflects Georgia’s digital development. This year’s conference demonstrated that Georgian organizations are not only adopting AI technologies but implementing them across various business sectors.<\/p>\n

The event featured over 40 local and international speakers across several stages. While the Champions Stage highlighted business strategies from global leaders like AWS and Google Cloud, the Tech Deep Dive Stage focused on engineering challenges, and the Workshop Stage provided hands-on exploration of AI tools and frameworks.<\/p>\n

International speakers delivered standout presentations: Aleksandr Bernadskii from AWS discussed Amazon’s use of generative AI for internal automation, Jan Smerhovsky from Google Cloud shared cutting-edge GenAI capabilities, and Ali Fuat Turkay from Palo Alto Networks addressed cybersecurity in the AI era.<\/p>\n
