I would like to take this opportunity to thank our members for their input with regards to suggestions for speakers and trainers. This year, we had over 100 suggestions for speakers and 75 speakers filled in the speaker request form. The selected speakers are invited to record their promotion video on Tuesday or Thursday morning. In order to ensure the gender balance we could be forced to add some men.
All joking aside I am proud to announce our first 3 keynote speakers:
Stephen Brobst – CTO for Teradata Corporation. He was ranked in 2015 by ExecRank as the #4 CTO in the United States (behind the CTOs from Amazon.com, Tesla Motors, and Intel).
Luc Julia – co-creator of Siri and VP of Innovation at Samsung has just published a book titled “L’intelligence artificielle n’existe pas”, meaning “Artificial intelligence doesn’t exist”
Caroline Pauwels – Current Rector of the VUB, driving force of educational reforms in Belgium and organiser of the World Difference Day that focuses attention on freedom of speech and media. |
