On 30 June 2026, more than 150 business leaders, customers, partners and AI professionals came together at the WITSIDE x Qlik AI Reality Tour Athens 2026: Beyond Answers to explore one of the most important questions organizations face today:
How can businesses create real value with Artificial Intelligence?
Throughout the day, one message became clear: AI alone is not enough.
Organizations will only unlock its full potential when innovative technology is combined with trusted data, sound governance and uniquely human capabilities such as critical thinking, emotional intelligence and responsible decision-making.
Looking Beyond Answers
Today’s AI models are becoming increasingly powerful, capable of generating content, answering questions and automating complex tasks. Yet, the quality of their output depends on something far more fundamental: the quality, accessibility and governance of the data behind them.
That was the essence of the “Beyond Answers” theme.
The future of Enterprise AI is not about obtaining answers faster. It is about enabling organizations to ask better questions, trust their information and make decisions with confidence.
Enterprise AI in Practice
The event featured the latest innovations from Qlik, showcasing how organizations can prepare their data for AI, accelerate decision-making and build trusted AI-powered experiences.
Attendees explored topics including:
- Enterprise AI strategy
- Trusted data and modern data architectures
- Data integration and analytics
- Generative AI and Qlik Answers
- The evolving AI ecosystem and enterprise innovation
Live demonstrations illustrated how AI can help organizations interact naturally with both structured and unstructured business information, making knowledge more accessible across the enterprise.
Learning from Business Case Studies
One of the highlights of the event was hearing directly from organizations already creating measurable business value through data and analytics.
Representatives from Alpha Bank, Atlas Tapes and Kyvernitis Travel S.A. shared their transformation journeys, demonstrating how trusted data supports better operational efficiency, faster decision-making and improved business outcomes.
Envision and Inphinity also demonstrated how organizations can extend the capabilities of the Qlik platform and unlock even greater value from their analytics investments.
Technology Needs Humanity
While technology was naturally at the heart of the event, some of the most memorable moments focused on people.
Stefanos Karagos shared practical insights into how organizations can embrace AI while augmenting human intelligence, creativity and decision-making.
Former international basketball player Dimitris Papanikolaou offered a powerful perspective on emotional intelligence, resilience and the human qualities that become even more valuable as AI continues to evolve.
Together with Christos Papadopoulos, CEO of WITSIDE, their talks reminded everyone that technological progress should never come at the expense of human values.
More Than an Event
The conversations throughout the day extended far beyond the stage. Customers, partners and industry professionals exchanged ideas, explored new opportunities and discussed the practical challenges of adopting AI responsibly.
We were also proud that the event supported the important work of Amnesty International, reflecting our belief that innovation and business success should always go hand in hand with social responsibility.
Thank You
A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us, to our speakers, customers, partners and the Qlik team for making this event such a success.
The conversations don’t stop here.

It’s how we believe organizations should approach the future of AI.
