Krogerus Data Symposium 2024

We are excited to invite you to the Krogerus Data Symposium, one of Finland's largest events focusing on data and AI regulation and utilisation, which will once again bring together hundreds of experts and professionals in the field. The event is organised in partnership with the Technology Industries of Finland.

Date & time: Wednesday, 23 October 2024 from 9 am to 6.30 pm
Venue:
Bio Rex Lasipalatsi, Mannerheimintie 22–24, Helsinki, Finland

The EU's comprehensive data and AI regulatory package is about to become operational. The Data Act is already in force, and the AI Act has been finally approved, so now is high time to start preparing for the forthcoming changes. In the coming years, these regulations will profoundly impact how companies and communities utilise the data they generate, how data usage agreements are formed, and the application of AI.

We hope you can join us for the Krogerus Data Symposium 2024!
