Program
Doors opened at 08:00 with breakfast. With 1,250 attendees coming through the entrance, everyone collected their badge, had something to eat, and made their way up to the conference floor before the first talk began at 09:00.
The day ran across three parallel tracks with generous breaks for networking, refreshments, and the exhibition. The final session wrapped up at 17:20, followed by the After Conference, where everyone could stay for bubbles and good company.
The program was organised in three tracks.
Each talk was labelled by topic and prerequisite level so you could plan your day:
- For everyone—suitable for all attendees. Covered applied AI from strategy and ethics to introductory technical topics.
- For practitioners—for those working hands-on with machine learning, data science, or data engineering.
In the afternoon, our partner Garden of Talents hosted an International AI Talent Show in Room R5+R6. It was for attendees who were hiring.
Tracks
- Inspirational · Congress Hall
- The Inspirational track was our broadest track: talks on applications, ethics, strategy, and trends that were relevant regardless of your technical background.
- Practitioners · Room H1+H2
- The Practitioners track went deeper into the tools and techniques, with sessions that expected hands-on experience in machine learning, data science, or data engineering.
- Deep Dive · Room G3
- The Deep Dive track sessions were twice as long as a regular talk, giving speakers the space to walk through architectures, workflows, and results in real detail. Most were technical, but the defining feature is depth, not difficulty.
