The British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce is organising a special edition of Tea with Reason together with its Tech Council and member Endava. The event will be hosted at Endava’s offices at the Situla Business Center (Vilharjeva 46, Ljubljana).
This BSCC members-only event will address how artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday business operations, moving from standalone tools towards more autonomous systems. The program will focus on how organisations are already using AI, what results they are achieving, and how these approaches are evolving.
If you’re still wondering how artificial intelligence fits into your organization or where it creates real value, this event is exactly what you need.
The session will feature a special guest from the UK, Richard Pugh, Global SVP & Head of Data & AI at Endava, and David Orešič from Endava, who will tell us more about a project developed for the UK Ministry of Housing.
Attendance is open exclusively to members of the British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and will be held in English. The event is free of charge, but places are limited, so please register via this link.
