----------- Please register below -----------

The first Basel Data Science and AI meetup for 2026 is already lined up - Save the date for another evening of inspiration, networking and building the local data science and AI community together!

Agenda
18:30 - Arrival & Mingling
19:00 - Talks

• Patrick Fleith, Senior Data Scientist & LLM Engineer @ Solenix:
  Accelerating your LLM projects with synthetic datasets
• Dr. Aleena Baby, Data Scientist & AI Engineer @ Access e.V.
  Smart Casting: How AI-Driven Defect Detection Is Redefining Manufacturing
• Jia You, PhD, Computational Biophysicist, Data Scientist
  Statistical Inference of Chromatin interactions

20:20 - Apéro & Networking

Last time we introduced a small commitment fee of 5 CHF, which went directly towards elevating the apéro with some pizzas 🍕. Feedbacks were positive, no-shows went down and participation remained high, so we'll keep that format for next time. If you have any issue with the payment method, let me know and we can figure something out!

Thanks a lot to Acuity Analytics for hosting the meetup and to Machine Learning Architects Basel for supporting us and providing the Apéro!
