Events are a perfect option to learn more about those issues that we had pending. As this year we have to maintain the aforementioned social distance, one of the best options is online seminars or also called Webinars. The success of this format lies in the fact that it is mostly free content that you can see from a distance. Thanks to webinars, it is possible to take part in interesting conferences with a large number of participants or small talks from the comfort of our computer.

These digital events are promoted from both companies and public institutions. For example, the European Commission has launched two interesting appointments:

  • Inspire 2020 Conference. Under the theme: “Bringing sustainability and digitalization together”, European experts will discuss how digitization can help build a more sustainable Europe, also analysing environmental, economic and social risks that entails. The event is held from June 3 to 11.
  • Empower your city with data. The European Commission is conducting a series of webinars on Context Broker, a standard API that allows users to collect, integrate and contextualize data in real time, and Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI), a free testing infrastructure that offers Virtual environment templates to explore and experiment with various data sources, software tools and Big Data techniques. The first two appointments have already been held - the recording is available on the web - but you have time to join the next two webinars: June 4 or 18.

In addition, there are many companies that are taking advantage of new technologies to spread their knowledge through various talks. This interest from companies highlights the great business opportunities behind the data. Here are some examples:

  • Data sharing and AI innovation. Every Thursday in June the team from IBM Research and IBM Data Science and IT organize an exchange of ideas and discussions on Artificial Intelligence. Experts and researchers from IBM Data and AI will share new approaches, techniques and perspectives to facilitate Artificial Intelligence-driven automation, prediction and data optimization at the seminar. The seminars are fully open to questions, so you can interact and chat with the experts.
  • What is the future of data strategy? This seminar on the different processes of data management is held on June 25. The goal is for attendees to learn about the next trends that will change the world of data, with the focus on data visualization.
  • CxO to CxO on scaling AI for growth and innovation - Michael Murray president and director of Wunderman Thompson Data, together with Seth Dobrin vice president of Data and AI of IBM will explore in this online seminar the future perspectives of Artificial Intelligence and the exponential growth of these new technologies. The event is already available, you just have to register to watch it.
  • The future of Data Management. At this event by analyst firm Gartner, the future of the data management market will be discussed extensively. Aimed at companies, it will show how they should plan and organize to be a data-driven organization and stay ahead of the competition. As in the previous case, the event is already available under registration.
