Some of the people you will meet
Halden
The soul of AI+
AI+ is not just another AI conference in a big city conference hall.
It takes place in Halden — a small Norwegian town with a big cultural heartbeat.
For a few intense days, cutting-edge artificial intelligence meets music, tech, art, history and human curiosity. Conversations continue beyond the stage: in concert venues, cafés, late-night discussions and unexpected encounters. AI+ is as much about people and culture as it is about technology.
Halden is no random location. The town has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence and digital innovation for decades, with deep roots in research, industry and experimentation.
Long before AI became a global buzzword, Halden was already exploring how advanced technology could be developed responsibly — close to society, industry and everyday life.
Tomas Nordlander was one of the founders of AI+.
This year he returns to stage at AI+Business
