What’s this event all about?
Data Innovation Summit is an annual event bringing together the brightest minds and practitioners in data management, advanced analytics and AI to discuss ways to innovate through data and AI. Through our events in Stockholm, Dubai, Milano and Bangalore we help organisations across the world to accelerate their advanced analytical capabilities and stay competitive in the Digital and AI Economy.
Data Innovation Summit MEA is constructed so it equally addresses all the elements of data-driven and AI-innovative business: data, people, processes and technology. The event is built to be both business and technical, practical and inspirational, realistic and futuristic, educational and exciting, regional and global, live and digital, general and niched, inspiring and influential. It is showcasing some of the best data driven innovative projects, products, business ideas and technologies, presented by some of the most advanced and innovative organisations in the world.
Towards Human-Centered Data & AI Innovation
Interactive
Panels
This year’s panels are going to focus on ways to maximize the ROI of advanced analytics initiatives by moving from the “wall of POC” and experimentation to industrialization. Human Centered Data and AI Innovation and Ethics are two additional topics that will be covered on the panels. The duration of the panels is 45 minutes. The panelists are coming from both the public and private sector, academia, as well as technology providers.
Networking
Program
Over and over again delegates are asking for more networking time. On this edition we are introducing new features that will increase the opportunity for you to meet and network with the delegates. We will start the conference with a 30 minute speed networking session and time to explore the venue set up. You will also have the opportunity to meet the exhibitors, find a coffee buddy, enjoy a night out with your peers and new contacts, and have a coffee with them.
The latest Demos in the Expo Area
As technology is a great part of the topic area, it is natural that demonstrations of the latest technology advancements in the area should be part of the event features. On this year’s edition we are bringing some of the leading technology and service providers in the area, some of them presenting their tools and services for the first time in United Arab Emirates and the MEA region.
Need-to-know and Up-to-date Topics
The agenda is carefully designed to match the delegate community challenges and needs. Based on our global and regional pre-event research, we have constructed the agenda that emulates the current market maturity, current project objectives, as well the aspiration for future technology insight.
