IJCAI 2018 Industry Days

Wednesday July 18th 8.45 to Thursday July 19th 17.00. Stockholmsmässan, Room A4

The IJCAI 2018 Industry Days is a unique networking event where entrepreneurs and scientists can discuss the future of AI and its impact on industry and society. This event is going to be held on July 18 and 19, 2018. Previously a one-day event, this year it is extended to two days due to the success in previous years and the increased interest from companies to present their work.

Companies known in the area of AI technologies will give talks about their use, advancement and strategies with regard to AI. The presentation by these well known and important companies cover a diverse range of topics. There will be plenty of opportunities to speak with the presenters and share thoughts and experiences with other attendees in the breaks between the talks.

IJCAI 2018 Industry Days will also host two panel sessions involving researchers, data scientists, and business executives in discussion with each other and the audience. On the first day, the panel is on AI in healthcare, as this is an important application area. On the second day, we focus on Autonomous driving, as one of the today’s exemplary and successful applications of AI.

The Industry Days event will connect the advancement in AI in research labs to the research in the real world, will discuss the challenges, success stories and impact of today’s technology and will provide insights into the future society.
