Call for industrial use cases and Demos

This year the annual BNAIC/BENELEARN conference joint forces with the newly created initiative AI Research and Industry in the Greater Region to form a major venue for research and industrial innovation dedicated to AI. This event welcomes CDOs, CIOs, information managers, IT-architects, data scientists, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from SMEs, through non-profit organizations, public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees will learn from experts from the industry and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of artificial intelligence with a particular focus on the application of AI on law, art, ethics and systems.

Scope & Audience

• The presented solution has already been deployed and / or has been tested in a practical environment – at least prototypically.
• The topic is well described and covers enough explanations, examples, use cases, graphics, etc.
• Novelty: The topic covered is new to your industry – not necessarily new to business in general
• Limit your abstract to two A4 pages (11pt minimum) including illustration, figures and references.

Selected abstracts will be included in the conference pre-proceedings.

Preparing your presentation

All accepted submissions will be granted a presentation slot of

• 20 minutes (15 min. Presentation + 5 min. Discussion).

Your benefit

Attendees will be granted access to the entire program of the AI in Action Conference (incl. BNAIC/BENELEARN and all social events). Moreover, presenters will have the possibility to expose their contributions to an audience and exchange ideas how AI-based technologies can be exploited to solve industrial problems. Besides that, your company will be visible to students looking for new opportunities.

We are looking forward to your contribution!
