Dear Colleague and esteemed AI Explorers!
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our latest creation, the PDA Artificial Intelligence Workshop 2024 taking place right after the PDA Good Digitalization in Pharma Conference 2024, on 06 June 2024 in Antwerp, Belgium!
Thrilled to have you join us for this deep dive into the world of data, algorithms, and models. Over the day you will be part of vivid conversations on all things of AI and challenged with a mindset shift.
This workshop is not your typical lecture series. We're throwing in some hands-on demos, so you can roll your sleeves up and understand what's going on beneath the surface of AI. Whether you're a seasoned expert or just dipping your toes into the AI waters, we're thrilled to have you with us.
Get ready for a journey that's all about demystifying AI in the context of drug manufacturing without the jargon overload! We promise engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and a sprinkle of fun, all designed to make AI feel like a friendly companion rather than a complex puzzle.
Our fantastic committee team is here to guide you through the AI wonderland, sharing insights that will make you think, "Wow, I can do this!" We'll explore how AI can be your superhero, making processes smoother, quality better, and innovation contagious in the pharmaceutical world.
This isn't just a workshop; it's a chance for us all to learn, share, and grow together. So, don't be shy – ask questions, share your thoughts, and let's create an atmosphere where every idea is as welcome as a good cup of coffee.
Thank you in advance for being part of this journey.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Sincerely,
The Workshop Co-Leader
