The Programs

What people have said

The workshop was highly valuable for our team. We left with practical tips that can immediately improve how we use AI in our daily work.

There were also great open discussions which gave us a clearer view of where AI can bring benefits in the future.

Matias is not only an engaging speaker but also a true expert in the field, which made the experience both inspiring and highly relevant to our needs.

The workshop was overall very valuable to our team.

We have been exploring different AI tools in our daily work, but the workshop gave us more "flesh on the bones", a broader perspective as well as some beneficial tips and tricks.

I also value that AI was put into a historical perspective to understand the paradigm shift we are living in.

Just wanted to say it was really nice sessions we had last week!

Spending two (even though not full days) on focusing and actually thinking how AI can benefit my work, was really cool!

And I did like your facilitation a lot ❤️ considering such a range and levels of our knowledge in the group, you did a great job! :)
