Forward Data Conference Paris: Join the 2nd Edition
There are many Data & AI conferences out there. However, none truly bring together our community in its entirety.
They are either too commercial or too niche.
What we were missing in our landscape was a major Data & AI conference in France and Europe that unites and connects this community.
Thus, we gathered the best networks and individuals to launch a new project.
This is how Hymaïa joined forces with the Modern Data Network and Christophe Blefari to create the Forward Data Conference.
On November 24th, you have a date with the future of Data and AI.
A Major Data & AI Conference in Paris.
This conference is not just about individual interests or the popularity of keynote speakers.
From day one, our mission has been clear: Accelerating careers, growing teams, and shaping the future of the French Data community. Together.
Together. That’s the key. There will be no future for Data and AI without collaborative work and connection between different expertise and disciplines.
Through this conference, our goal is to create a hub for sharing and knowledge.
A time and place where :
- Entire teams can come together and grow, with each member finding their path
- Everyone can develop their T-Shape : deepening their main expertise and broadening their learning areas
- Teams can share best practices and learn from each other
- Silos give way to empathy and collaboration among all practitioners.
Inspire, Share, Learn Together
To achieve this, we have structured the conference around different axes:
- Talks, of course, to share convictions and envision the future
- Workshops and meetings, where teams can interact, debate, and learn together
- Debates, with no soft consensus, to confront ideas and visions
In summary, not just top-down sessions, but fostering encounters and collective learning is our ambition.
