💥 Exciting news from our recent AI salon event! 💥 We had an incredible turnout with 189 signups, making it the best AiSalon Amsterdam to date. Attendees were treated to talks by industry experts Daniel Gebler, CTO at Picnic Technologies, and Cas Mevissen, responsible for AI policy at the Dutch Government, as well as numerous startup pitches. 🎙️ Daniel shared insights on how Picnic applies AI to benefit the broader community, while Cas discussed the implications of the EU AI Act. It was a truly insightful and engaging evening full of valuable discussions. 💡 One key takeaway from the event was the importance of bridging the gap between government, policy makers, and the startup and scale-up ecosystem. By fostering stronger relationships between these entities, we can ensure that the Dutch AI Ecosystem continues to thrive. 🙌 A huge thank you to the teams at AiSalon, BrainCreators, and MaxCredible. Special thanks also goes out to our sponsors Twintos, KPN, and TD SYNNEX for their support in making this edition of AiSalon possible. Get ready for the next edition happening in September. Let's continue to work together to drive innovation and growth in the AI industry! 🦾 #AISalon #AI #Innovation #TechCommunity
