Under the theme “ALL FOR AI & AI FOR ALL,” this year’s conference brought global business leaders, entrepreneurs, and technology and marketing experts to Tirana, sparking conversations about how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping business, creativity, and the future of work.
Tirana, November 7, 2026 – AllWeb Digital Conf 2026 took place on November 6 at the Astrit Sula Theatre, Arka Art Hotel in Tirana, bringing together business professionals, entrepreneurs, and international experts for a full day dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, innovation, marketing, and business transformation.
Held under the theme “ALL FOR AI & AI FOR ALL,” this year’s conference moved beyond discussions about the technological potential of AI to explore how it is already transforming business models, customer relationships, productivity, creativity, and the way we work.
Among the headline speakers was Samir Mane, Albania’s first billionaire and Founder and President of BALFIN Group, who shared his perspective on entrepreneurship, technological transformation, and the future of the economy and the workforce.
During his fireside chat, Mane predicted that the four-day workweek could become a reality within the next four to five years, potentially as early as 2030. He also revealed that companies within BALFIN Group have already begun working toward adopting this model.
“I believe that in the next four to five years, perhaps even by 2030, everyone will be working four days a week. And this is not just an idea. At BALFIN Group, we have already started working to make this happen,” Mane said.
Addressing the broader implications of Artificial Intelligence, Mane emphasized the importance of equal access to the technology, arguing that AI should be treated as a public good, accessible to everyone and developed for the benefit of humanity.
He acknowledged that technological transformation would inevitably replace certain jobs but expressed confidence that it would also create even greater employment opportunities.

A First for AllWeb: AI Agents Take the Stage as Speakers
One of the most distinctive innovations of AllWeb Digital Conf 2026 was the introduction of AI Agents as conference speakers.
For the first time, alongside human speakers, the AllWeb stage welcomed two AI-powered presenters: Dex, developed by Devabble, and Yume, a project created by entrepreneur Firdeus Kasaj.
Their participation offered a live demonstration of the capabilities and potential applications of AI Agents, moving the conversation beyond theoretical concepts to practical examples of how autonomous AI systems can support everyday business operations.
The initiative also reflected the conference’s broader ambition to challenge traditional formats and create opportunities for audiences to experience emerging technologies firsthand.
AllWeb: Building a Regional Business and Technology Community Since 2016
Since its launch in 2016, AllWeb has grown into a platform connecting professionals and businesses across marketing, technology, communications, and entrepreneurship, creating opportunities for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and new ideas.
Over the years, the conference has welcomed more than 250 speakers, attracted over 4,000 participants, and collaborated with more than 150 partner brands and sponsors. Its activities have also generated more than 2,200 media articles.
The 2026 edition reinforced a central message: Artificial Intelligence is no longer simply a topic of discussion or a technology of the future. It is already reshaping how companies compete, create value, engage with customers, and prepare for what comes next.
