This year, the Erasmus Data Summit will focus on Creating the Future Workforce. Together with experts from academia and industry, we will discuss the impact of (Gen) AI on work; how does it change the way we work, educate, skill, learn or do research? How does it impact equality, opportunity creation, innovation, safety, healthcare, and well-being? The walk-in starts at 13:00 and we will close with networking drinks and an inspiring Immersive Tech Fair with innovative expos and demos for a hands-on experience. This will also be Gerrit Schipper’s last official grand gathering as Executive Director of ECDA, so for us an opportunity to celebrate the years and milestones shared together.
The summit is hosted on behalf of the Erasmus University Rotterdam by the Erasmus Center for Data Analytics, supported by ErasmusX, Erasmus Q-Intelligence, ErasmusMC Data Hub, AIpact & Convergence. Speakers and fair participants will be revealed soon. Among them are Frank Buytendijk (Futurist/Digital Ethicist, Gartner), Jovana Karanovic (Assistant Professor at the Department of Technology and Operations Management) and Michel van Genderen (Intensivist, Head of EMC Data Lab). You can check out last year’s speakers via this link.
The meeting is in the form of a dynamic show format, chaired by a top host (Jim Stolze), where various guests will speak per topic. Therefore, if the event’s period does not suit, attendance for 1 specific part may also be an option. There are video pitches, talks, shoutouts, and conversations with (alumni) representatives and entrepreneurs around the following themes: future of work, human perspective on working with AI, Work and Talent, AI & Education. We also want to answer questions about AI & equality, ethics, and immersive healthcare.
After the plenary part, an Immersive Tech Fair will be hosted in the Theil Building. Here we offer our guests the possibility to have a hands-on experience with the latest tech, and network, and have drinks.
External guests are welcome to park in the main parking lot right under the campus.
