Qlik®, the global leader in data analytics and integration, today announces new details for its next annual conference, Qlik Connect 2024. This event comes at a pivotal moment as businesses increasingly recognize the immense value that AI can bring to their operations. It provides a platform for businesses to bridge the gap between understanding the potential of AI and realizing AI-driven transformation in their operations. This year’s conference, to be held June 3-5, 2024 in Orlando, Florida, will be an important gathering for leaders and practitioners at the forefront of this evolution.
The keynote, titled “Data Taking Flight,” will feature Greg Robinson, the respected NASA veteran behind the James Webb Space Telescope. “The success of the Webb telescope is a testament to the power of high-quality data and its careful integration. Although difficult, building the telescope’s data foundation properly will enable his recent breakthrough AI insights. Now we can,” Robinson said. He explores the importance of high-quality, integrated data used to uncover new discoveries about the universe, and contrasts it with the importance of data in the business world.
Meredith Whalen, IDC’s chief research officer, will take the stage with Qlik CEO Mike Capone as a guest speaker to open the event. “The intersection of AI and data management is reshaping the business landscape,” Whalen commented. “Our discussions at Qlik Connect will reveal how businesses can align their strategies with these technology advances to succeed in this new era.”
The Big AI Conversation fundamentals session, led by moderator Katie Linendoll, spotlights a panel from the esteemed Qlik AI Council. Renowned generative AI expert Nina Schick and responsible AI pioneer Dr. Raman Chowdhury will share their insights on the ethical aspects of AI. They will be joined by Kelly Forbes, who focuses on AI governance in the Asia-Pacific region, and Dr. Michael Bronstein from the University of Oxford, who brings a blend of academic and entrepreneurial AI expertise. This diverse panel promises in-depth discussions about the ethical use of AI and innovative applications in business.
