Although artificial intelligence is clearly relevant to fields such as computer science and software engineering, it is also extremely important to be informed about the ways in which AI is changing other domains such as finance, economics, retail, marketing, art, healthcare, life sciences, engineering, social sciences, and many others.
On October 7th, 2018, we will be hosting our Discover ConcordAI Event. This event will include presentations from professors, researchers and entrepreneurs in the fields of artificial intelligence, innovation, and technology.
Artificial Intelligence Concordia will use this opportunity to inform attendees about our ConcordAI hackathon as well as our 12 week startup student mentorship program. ConcordAI's events, workshops, AI Hackathon, and 12 week startup student mentorship program are generously sponsored by the Concordia Student Union.
From 4 PM, attendees may enter, check in, and will be offered, coffee, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks until presentations begin at 5 PM. After the presentations end at 7:15 PM, attendees will be treated to a live band performance and offered complimentary food and drinks (including fun non-alcoholic options) as they enjoy a pleasant social atmosphere and opportunity to network. Care has been taken to ensure that vegetarians and vegans will have options.
