From the Google Cloud agenda and promo material: 
Key speakers / hosts include:

• Ivan Bartoš – Czech MP, former Deputy PM for Digitalisation (Czechia)
• Prof. Patrick L. Krauskopf – Center for Business Law, St. Gallen

Industry / partner representation mentioned:

• Thales SIX (strategy & marketing leadership) 
• Other European cloud / sovereignty players (e.g. Stackit, etc., from marketing posts). 
ALRT’s role:

2️⃣ NATO Task Force Maven Industry Day (21 Nov, SHAPE / NATO HQ)
This one is much more defence-world and locked down, so they don’t publish a full attendee list. From NATO / Task Force Maven comms and ALRT’s RNS: 
Host / organisers:
• NATO Task Force Maven at SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe)
• Backed by NATO’s acquisition of the Maven Smart System (MSS NATO) – Palantir platform – for Allied Command Operations. 
Who’s in the room (by type):
• NATO Allied Command Operations staff and programme leads
• NATO Communications & Information Agency (NCI Agency) people involved in AI / MSS rollout
• Defence + dual-use AI/ML vendors selected to demo solutions that can plug into/around Maven
• Representatives from allied nations’ defence ministries and commands looking at AI/ML for intel, targeting, decision support, etc. 
ALRT’s role:
Defence Technologies / ALRT is specifically named as a vendor showcasing Project Ixian to Task Force Maven and NATO decision-makers at this Industry Day. 
So short version:
• Munich – big mix of Google Cloud leadership, EU policymakers, legal/regulatory experts, and cloud/sovereign-IT partners, with ALRT there as one of the sovereign-AI showcases.
• Maven Industry Day – NATO + NCI Agency + selected AI/ML defence vendors in a much more closed setting, where ALRT is one of the companies demoing to the people actually rolling out Maven/MSS NATO.
