Description

Digital October IVADO is back in a hybrid format! This is the perfect opportunity to learn about our student offer and get to know our digital intelligence community better!

Multidisciplinary workshops and networking events will take place throughout the month of October. Then, on October 28th and 29th, digital intelligence will be showcased through a keynote conference, as well as presentations by our scholarship students, postdoctoral fellows, IVADO professors and academic members and partners. All of this with the objective of promoting networking between the different actors of our community.

Target audience

Our IVADO community, but also anyone interested in digital intelligence!

Organizers

The IVADO team, in collaboration with the IVADO student intersectoral committee.

Program

October 28th, 4 p.m to 7 p.m. - Special presentations and keynote conference

To open the Digital October, a panel of experts will highlight the current and future challenges in the field of digital intelligence. This panel will be presented on the campus of the Université de Montréal (limited places) but will also be broadcasted with unlimited access on the Swapcard platform of the event. Following the panel, a networking cocktail will be offered to those present on site.
