The summit will gather the most influential, knowledgeable and innovative AI and data leaders across the globe. But they also must have that “special something”; it could be a unique human touch, a truly individual mind, or the courage to take their organisation through hell and back – and win. We’ve found that this kind of person gives the best to our clients, and gets the best from them.

But we don’t know everybody. If you’re a maverick or an imagineer in the business intelligence landscape, with proven, exciting results, please do consider becoming a Forward Leading speaker. Get in touch. We’d love to find out more about you. Reach out to Pearl Cheng today!

What does "Machine Learning" or "Artificial Intelligence" mean for you? Is it a word you have already heard too much hype about? Is it a trend you are following up closely? Is it a technology that will be applied, or has already been applied, in your organisation and daily work?

In this facilitated networking session, let's do more than shuffle, grouping and exchanging business cards. Go deep with your data peers via sharing: - What does the trend of machine learning mean for your industry and your organisation? - What is the biggest challenge to you and how would you prepare yourself for this? - Are there any good resources you'd like to recommend?
