The event emphasized the impact of AI across industries and the value of collaboration.
Project overview
TechDays is a quarterly, invite-only tech event bringing together data scientists and software engineers from Ahold Delhaize, ING, KLM, and NS for AI presentations, cross-company collaboration, peer learning, and networking. This time, the location was Thuishaven in Amsterdam, where the weather conditions posed logistical challenges. Additionally, the sandy terrain at Thuishaven required us to get creative with our technical expertise for both the plenary session and the breakout sessions.
A selection of our contributions to this project
- The plenary location at the venue at Thuishaven was equipped with a 15 m² LED screen in a theater setup, delay LCD screens, and an advanced sound system for optimal support.
- All break-out sessions were equipped with the necessary technical provisions, such as a 7 m² LED screen in one room and audio systems in the other rooms.
Artificial intelligence at it's finest
The Kickstart AI TechDays was a two-day exclusive event that brought together data scientists, AI experts, and software developers to share insights, learn from each other, and explore the latest technological advancements in AI. Solid Rental handled the technical production, allowing speakers and attendees to focus fully on the AI content.
