Artificial Intelligence – With Cognitive Technologies to Autonomous Systems

This was DIGICON 2019

A full house with 368 participants from over 220 companies, visionary and lively lectures, an exciting race for the 4th Munich Digital Innovation Award and trend-setting ideas on the marketplace for innovations in cocktails and culinary delicacies – that was DIGICON 2019. International experts from business and science presented the participants with the latest trends, developments and results in the field of machine learning. Decision-makers spoke about opportunities and risks, analysts about the methods behind them. On November 20 and 21, 2019, our participants had the opportunity at the Palais Lenbach to exchange ideas on these topics and to view the latest, groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence from various perspectives.

Here you will find pictures of the event and the opportunity to give us feedback for DIGICON 2019:
