Where: Microsoft House, Keilalahdentie 2–4, Espoo

Who should attend?

This event is for leaders and experts working across operations, manufacturing, OT, IT, data & analytics, industrial AI, and digital transformation.

If you are responsible for improving production performance, accelerating data-driven decision-making, or scaling AI initiatives, you'll gain practical insights into how to turn industrial data into trusted intelligence and real business value.

Why attend?
