NAIA.R returns for a second 3-day edition, organized from December 9 to 11, 2021, at Hangar 14 in Bordeaux. Artificial intelligence and robotics will be on the agenda of the event co-organized by Sud Ouest and SUEZ, with the support of the University of Bordeaux, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, Bordeaux Metropole and the Rectorat de Bordeaux.
The first edition NAIA 2019 had been a success and had gathered more than 1000 professionals of the AI sector on one day. Building on this success, the forum is back for a second edition in a 3-day format, including a day open to the general public, and the integration of Robotics in the program following the postponement of the Robocup to 2023.
Because AI induces many transformations in companies and implies an evolution of the professions and training required, Sud Ouest and SUEZ are co-organizing the event, with the support of the University of Bordeaux, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, Bordeaux Metropole and the Rectorat de Bordeaux. Local players in these sectors, including the Aquitaine Robotics and Digital Aquitaine clusters, are also joining the forum.
NAIA.R will be held over 3 days and will offer over 5,000 m2 of exhibition stands, demonstrations, professional meetings, workshops, round tables, a career guidance corridor and job dating. More than 60 conferences and workshops will be conducted by 100 speakers, including:
- Frederic Werner, Head of Strategic Engagement at the ITU (UN)
- Renault Vedel, Coordinator of the national AI strategy in France
- Camille Morvan, PhD in neuroscience and co-founder of Goshaba
- Guillaume Morel, Director of ISIR
- Jean-Paul Laumond, Research Director at CNRS
- Julien Mayeux, Managing Director of Ubisoft Bordeaux
- Benoit Moussaron-Navarre, Regional Director of the South-West region at Microsoft
- Adélie Arbeille, AML and Responsible Gaming Director at Betclic
- Laurent Prud’hon, Director of the Cognitive Factory at the Crédit Mutuel group
Access will be reserved for professionals and students in the AI and Robotics fields on the first two days. Saturday 11 December will be open to the general public. More than 3,000 people are expected to attend, and admission to the event is free.
More than 60 exhibitors will be on site to present their solutions in AI and Robotics, including demonstrations on the program. Football matches between autonomous robots; Tricky, the health escape room for prevention; Spot, the robotic dog designed to intervene in hostile environments or Practice 4.0, the factory of the future.
This year we are offering a job dating session to put companies and candidates interested in the AI and Robotics sectors in touch with each other. A space dedicated to the orientation of future students is also planned by the University of Bordeaux, the schools of higher education and the New Aquitaine Region.
