BH Futures at the Data Science Conference

We are very proud of being this year's partners of the Data Science Conference in Belgrade, which is the biggest and most famous event of its kind in our region. Last week, eight of our scholars went to Belgrade - Andrej, Denis, Emir, Ivana, and Ognjen as volunteers, while Emina Mersiha and Dzenita attended as participants. 

This is the fifth time that the conference is being held, and every year it gathers some of the most significant names of the data science field, and many enthusiasts who want to learn more. Our participants had the opportunity to hear more than 70 presentations, discussions, and firesides about various fields in data science like deep learning, data monetisation, data science startups, business intelligence and many more. They were introduced to the newest technologies and the applications of data science to solve real-life problems like cancer discovery, explainable AI, deep learning in dentistry, AI @Edge and a lot more. Most importantly, they made many new connections and some of them even had the chance to meet keynote speakers and talk to them.

“For someone who studies Data Science, DSC 5.0 was a real jackpot. Awesome speakers who shared with us many useful things and interesting topics that will for sure help me in the development of my future projects in the field of AI. A topic that made the biggest impression was the crossover between AI and 5G. I have already started exploring more about the connection between these two. Listening to the lectures at this conference, and getting to know so many segments in today's world where AI is used I concluded one thing: AI is everywhere and data is the key!” - said Mersiha.

Everyone agreed on how the experience of volunteering was very beneficial since, as volunteers, they had a direct insight into all organisational details of this big conference. At the same time, they had the opportunity to network with their peers from the region and data science experts from all over the world (some of them you might even see at some of our next webinars).

In the end, this was a real eye-opening experience about the importance of data, what value it contains and how it can be used on a daily basis. Congratulations to the organisers of this magnificent event! We are already looking forward to the DSC 6.0!
