If you've been to one of the previous Beers & Bots networking events, you know it's not like the average "Meetup". It's a night out with like-minded people, who share your passion for Conversational AI, Generative AI, and AI in general 🤓
It’s an evening you will remember! ✨
Connect with fellow professionals from the Conversational AI & Generative AI space for an evening full of insightful discussions. Explore the game-changing role of Large Language Models and AI in shaping the future of Conversation Design.
Talk about AI image creation tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Runway. How will these technologies evolve in the next few years? Let’s dive deep into the endless possibilities!
Beers & Bots takes place in a beautiful venue in the center of Amsterdam. You can drink as much draft beer or wine as you think is appropriate in the context of a networking event 😉 There are also plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from of course.
Another element that sets B&B apart from most other networking events is the food: you will be served around seven small, delicious dishes you can easily eat while standing up: the so-called "walking dinner" 😋
The power of conversation and networking should not be underestimated. Many attendees have found new jobs, (freelance) projects, clients, and business partners.
During the upcoming event, we will introduce something fun to help introverts break the ice and get to know new people more easily.
We btw don't do presentations and PowerPoints because this would kill the vibrant networking energy built up in the room. With the alternative, a Kahoot!-style #CAI / #GAI pub quiz hosted by Maaike Groenewege, everybody is involved and having fun!

How Digital Humans Change Conversations From Effective to Affective

Guido de Jong
Virtually Human
Avatars are an important part of the metaverse and by using a digital human, companies can already start experimenting with the impact this has on the customer experience. All the insights that this provides are valuable input in case a company really takes the step to the metaverse.
But also outside the metaverse, using a digital human for customer service has some clear advantages and the potential use cases are countless. Examples are (mental) healthcare, hospitality, aviation (digital humans helping at the airport), banking and insurance. Celebrities are showing an interest a digital version of themselves.
In this session, Barend Jungerius had a chat with Guido Jongen, founder of Virtually Human, about all aspects of this exciting new technology.
