Hosted by SeedLegals

Pitch Slam: Year-End Final is a free virtual startup pitching competition on 3 December 2026, connecting founders with investors and actionable feedback. Presented by SeedLegals and Angel Club, this fast-paced Zoom event combines three-minute startup pitches with the energy of a poetry slam. From 6:00–7:00 PM UTC, founders will compete for attention, connections and the opportunity to advance to a final pitch in front of the full audience. The organisers report that 30% of pitches at their events lead to follow-up meetings and investment, making this more than a practice session: it is a focused opportunity to test a fundraising narrative in front of people actively involved in early-stage companies. What happens during Pitch Slam? Founders pitch live in breakout rooms hosted by investors, receiving immediate, tactical feedback on how they communicate their business and funding story. Each investor room features four to six early-stage founders, with one room favourite selected to pitch again during the final round. Attendees can register in one of three roles: - Pitcher: Deliver a startup pitch in under three minutes, receive live feedback and potentially progress to the final. - Investor: Host a breakout room, assess founders, offer supportive strategic advice and select a finalist. Investor tickets require approval. - Observer: Watch the pitches without participating in judging or presenting. Pitching places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis during the event. Selection happens live rather than in advance, so a Pitcher ticket does not guarantee an opportunity to present. Founders can also complete the separate pitch application, while prospective judges can submit the investor registration form. Who should attend?… Register for this event

⌖ Location TBC · Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Hosted by AI Agent Event

The AI Agent Conference in Fort Lauderdale (February 9-11, 2027) brings together legal experts, technologists, and business leaders to tackle one of the most pressing questions in AI development: As AI agents evolve from passive tools into autonomous decision-makers, who is legally responsible when things go wrong? This three-day event delivers critical insights into the regulatory, liability, and privacy challenges reshaping how enterprises deploy agentic AI systems. Why Attend As states across the U.S. draft new AI regulations and privacy laws, businesses adopting AI agents face unprecedented legal uncertainty. If an autonomous agent causes harm—whether through biased decisions, data breaches, or operational failures—existing legal frameworks struggle to assign accountability. This conference addresses these challenges head-on, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate the complex intersection of AI innovation and regulatory compliance. Featured Sessions The conference kicks off Tuesday, February 10 with the opening panel "AI Agents on Trial: Navigating Regulation, Liability, and Privacy in the Age of Agentic AI" (10:00-10:45am). Legal experts and technology leaders will explore critical questions: Should developers, enterprise adopters, or the AI systems themselves bear responsibility for autonomous agent actions? How do emerging state-level regulations impact AI deployment strategies? What privacy protections must be built into agentic systems from the ground up? Beyond the main sessions, the conference offers unique professional development opportunities. The Coaching Café workshop provides personalized guidance on AI strategy and implementation. The exhibit hall (open Wednesday 12pm-5pm and Thursday 10am-3pm) showcases cutting-edge AI agent platforms and tools. Who Should Attend This event is essential for legal counsel advising on AI deployments, compliance officers managing regulatory risk, CTOs and AI architects building autonomous systems, product managers integrating AI agents, and business leaders making strategic AI investment decisions. Whether you're implementing ChatGPT-powered customer service agents, deploying Claude for document processing, or building custom automation with n8n or Make, understanding the legal landscape is non-negotiable.
