AI NI 6: Liberty IT & Google

In this event we have the pleasure of presenting talks from two fantastic organisations, Google and Liberty IT. The representatives from Google are in Belfast for a limited window (travelling from from the United States!) and they have kindly agreed to discuss the various ways Google have used and can support organisation in delivering AI driven solutions (we encourage you to ask a LOT of questions). Liberty IT are also our main sponsors for this event and will be providing the nourishment during the event in the form of both food and drinks.
