Toronto,

Join us for this event.

In current jargon "Artificial Intelligence", "Business Intelligence" and "Machine Learning" are ubiquitous, however very few can define them and know what needs they adress.

Beyond their technical aspect, what is really key is to distinguish the reality from the urban legends.

What really is Artificial Intelligence?

Is it really intelligent and will robots take over humanity?

Roger Vandomme, well-known International Chief Data Scientist, will answer those questions.

You will understand what needs AI, BI and Machine Learning adress. You will find out how they work, what they can do and what they cannot. And most importantly, what should be the ethical responsibility of the human community.

While food and beverage companies are experienced innovators, the industry itself is facing considerable consumer, food safety and regulatory challenges. Advances in food and beverage science and technology, both in-sector and beyond, are presenting exciting opportunities but a step-change in innovation is needed if companies are to prosper.

Anyone new to innovation can learn more than a few lessons from the food and beverage industry. The industry knows how to innovate. At its best, it can be nimble, getting products to shelf in a much shorter time than other industries which can be held up by product trials and sector regulation.

- How does concept to market in less than a year sound?

- There is relatively little risk in trying a new flavour or version of a product, deploying the playfulness we associate with Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

- For retailers selling own-brand products, there is even less risk – they can test the product in store and if sales are poor, then they can simply remove the product from the shelf. What is there to lose?

But the reality is that it’s a tough time to be a food or beverage manufacturer. Competition is high. Retailers have driven down prices. Profit margins are low.

How innovation will shape the food and beverage Industry. Join us to listen our great panel including
