A sensory start to the day

Breakfast is part of the workshop

This is a working breakfast built for people who study experience. The table starts with Norwegian flavors, then becomes the place where participants compare how AI is changing real research work.

Kanelboller

Skoleboller
Soft cardamom buns with vanilla custard, icing, and coconut.
Norwegian kaffe
Rich black coffee served throughout the morning discussion.

The format

A conversation, not a panel

The workshop replaces a one-way presentation with small-group discussion, expert facilitation, and a live readout from the room.

  1. Breakfast and welcome

    Choose a seat at a round table, pour a kaffe, and start with fresh kanelboller and skoleboller.

  2. Facilitated table discussions

    Subject matter experts rotate through the room to explore current barriers, useful AI opportunities, and sensory workflows.

  3. Live synthesis and Q&A

    The facilitators present the themes found across tables, test them with the room, and close with open questions.

AI in the room

Watch the room think together

The demonstration makes the AI workflow visible from conversation through synthesis. Participants see where the model helps and where human judgment still leads.

  1. Workshop participants discussing around a phone that displays an audio waveform
    01

    Capture

    A mobile device captures the discussion at each table.

  2. A recorded waveform being organized into a structured working transcript
    02

    Transcribe

    Gemini Flash turns the conversations into working text.

  3. A researcher arranging discussion notes into connected thematic clusters
    03

    Synthesize

    The system identifies recurring questions, tensions, and ideas.

  4. A facilitator sharing a printed findings summary with workshop participants
    04

    Share

    Cross-table findings become a live summary for the room.

The facilitators will explain the audio capture process and participation options before transcription begins.

Who it is for

People shaping products and experiences

The session is designed for sensory scientists, consumer researchers, product developers, and research leaders who want a more practical way to use AI in their daily work.

What you will take away

  • A clearer view of where AI can support sensory and consumer science work today.
  • Practical examples of AI supporting discussion, transcription, and synthesis.
  • A peer-informed picture of the barriers and opportunities teams share.

Practical details

Questions before breakfast

Do I need a EuroSense conference registration?

Yes. This RSVP reserves your place with Aigora for the workshop. Admission to EuroSense 2026 is managed separately by the conference organizer.

Will the table discussions be recorded?

Each table will use an audio capture tool for live transcription and synthesis. The facilitators will explain the process and participation options before capture begins.

What should I bring?

Bring the AI questions, workflow obstacles, or adoption challenges your team is facing. A laptop is not required for the session.

What food will be served?

The breakfast will feature Norwegian kanelboller, skoleboller, and kaffe. Catering and allergen details will be shared with registered attendees before the workshop.
