Why attend

The world of Business Intelligence (BI) is transforming at an unprecedented pace, and at the heart of this evolution is Artificial Intelligence (AI). To reflect this shift, we’re excited to announce a new name for our conference: BI + AI Innovation & Tech Fest This change isn’t just about adding a buzzword, it’s about acknowledging the powerful role AI now plays in unlocking the full potential of data. AI is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s actively shaping the way businesses analyse information, automate decision-making, and drive innovation.
