What they say about ApplAI
Very well organised, dynamic, interesting and attractive content for the public.
They exceeded my expectations with the speakers, they were clear and down-to-earth.
It was a very good idea to create a format that facilitates networking.
I think it was interesting that the conference was divided into different parts. The information on BAIC has been relevant.
I really liked the combination of different formats of presentations that gave a lot of dynamism, without losing quality content. I also highly value the whole organisation.
A super lean conference! Well composed, focused and with a fresh and exciting dynamic. Without a doubt a great success!
