- During the second talk of the evening, Thomas Vrancken from ML6 will enlighten us all about offshore wind energy forecasting by a case they've been working on recently(Did you know Northern Europe is the world's epicenter of offshore wind energy production!?)
- In the last talk of the evening, we are welcoming Barak Chizi, PhD, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at KBC. We'll learn social responsibility at KBC, and how they use AI to understand the carbon footprint of financial assets.After the three talks, we'll have a 15' group discussion with all speakers.
Networking (7:15pm CET)
We'll try to keep the discussion going with 3x15minute Zoom Breakouts that randomize everyone into small groups (3-5 people). We'll facilitate the breakout sessions via icebreaker questions and challenge statements via a public Miro board.
Just interested in the talks? You're free to call it a day and skip the breakout sessions. :)
