About the conference

We organised a one-day conference for people interested in artificial intelligence and all things data. We aimed to create an environment for learning, networking, and knowledge-sharing among individuals, organisations, academia, and the public sector around these common interests. The conference focused on applied machine learning and real-world data science. It introduced diverse content from enthusiastic domain experts and covered what was happening within the field in Gothenburg, as many speakers had local connections.

The conference was held virtually through YouTube and Slack due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Inspiration and knowledge

    Fascinating talks were held by representatives from practitioners and academics. We expected to get inspired and learn about techniques, strategies, and tools commonly used by people in the field. We hoped to leave the conference with a long list of new things to explore further.

    One great conference

    We were honoured to have so many representatives from Gothenburg sharing their knowledge and thoughts. They told us more about what was happening on the West Coast, and you had a chance to meet with other local enthusiasts with similar problems and interests.

    Location

    In 2020, we hosted the conference digitally through YouTube and Slack due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The talks were broadcast live from a studio at Svenska Mässan. We offered virtual booths in our Slack to discuss the talks and meet our partners.
