## Summary

Data Science, Machine Learning and AI are all key tools in building state of the art products. In these presentations we will cover how we apply these tools to help us at Skyscanner solve complex problems at scale and overcome some of the difficulties in practically applying AI.

We will have 3 speakers, with presentations for you, and a chance for networking after the talks. See you there!
