AI in practice – people, knowledge and maturity

How do skilled professional communities work with artificial intelligence to solve real problems and create lasting value? At this open Variant Day, we bring together experienced professionals from different environments to share insights, experiences and honest stories about AI in practice.

The day provides inspiration and professional enrichment through concrete examples of how AI is used in products and services - from exploration and learning, to scaling and maturity. We share what actually works, what choices must be made along the way, and how organizations can build confidence and competence around the use of AI.

You will encounter perspectives from product, design, development and business - both from our own consultants and external speakers. Common to all is a strong focus on subjects, collaboration and responsible use of technology. Together, we show how interdisciplinary teams can use AI to simplify complex tasks, create better user experiences and deliver value faster.

The event is also an invitation to get to know us as a professional community: how we work, what we care about, and why we think it's cool to build products and solutions together with smart people.

After the talks, we invite you to stay with us and socialize with good conversations, food and drinks, and not least new knowledge and competition in the form of a quiz!
