Virtual Data Innovation Summit * Full-Year 2021 Program

About

Welcome, we are organizing a Virtual DI Summit program instead of an in-person DI Summit. The theme of the full-year 2021 online edition is AI For Everyone. Our objective is to make AI knowledge and experience accessible for everyone: public organizations, private companies, academics, and citizens in general. Therefore, we organize live-webcasts. Registration is free, as well as the 12-month available on-demand webcast recordings. Additionally, we create valuable AI content such as blogs and also plan videos and podcasts.

Webcasts

We focus on showing you meaningful, practical AI applications from a societal, business, and technical perspective during the webcasts. Each webcast includes an inspiring keynote by an AI expert, followed up by knowledgeable AI speakers who explain in-depth, purposeful, real-life AI cases. At the end of every webcast, we have a 15-minute question-and-answer session based on the audience’s questions.
