The Experience
Step away from the noise and into an environment designed for deep thinking, strategic recalibration, and meaningful connection.
June 4: Arrival
Connect & Unwind
Arrive at Klagenfurt International Airport (KLU), where a private transfer will take you to the historic Iris Porsche Hotel. Settle in with a moment of personal renewal—immerse yourself in the spa or explore the charming village of St. Salvator. In the evening, join faculty and fellow executives at the I Am Escape venue, designed for reflection and connection. This day is about easing into the retreat experience, engaging in informal networking, and setting personal and collective intentions for the days ahead.
June 5: Perspective
Update your Priors
See differently. Think deeper. Act smarter. The AI landscape is evolving rapidly—what you knew yesterday may no longer serve you today. Through thought-provoking discussions and interactive group experiences, you’ll challenge existing beliefs, gain fresh insights, and refine your strategic lens. This day is about expanding your vision and clarifying your AI strategy, using Maginative’s proprietary USAGE framework to craft a roadmap that aligns AI’s potential with your leadership goals.
June 6: Agency
The Business of AI
This is a day of bold execution. You will go hands-on with cutting-edge AI technologies, exploring their capabilities and limitations in real-world business contexts. We’ll also engage in frank discussions on the business of AI—capital markets, investment strategies, ROI, and how companies are betting on AI today. The world doesn’t need more passive observers; it needs leaders who act decisively. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clearer sense of where to invest, how to build, and how to lead in the AI economy.
June 7: Imagination
What sets you Apart?
As intelligence becomes a commodity, the differentiated advantage will be found in human traits like curiosity, critical thinking, and conviction. Day 3 is about pushing boundaries and rethinking what’s possible. Through a unique collaborative culinary experience and hands-on problem-solving exercises, we’ll explore how to unlock creativity, challenge conventional wisdom, and cultivate the mindset of an adaptive, visionary leader. In a world where AI can do so much, what will set you apart?
June 8: Departure
