Following the monumental success of our July event, Data & AI Community Day Durban: Season of AI (photo gallery here), we are thrilled to present the next chapter: Data & AI Community Day Durban: Season of AI—Copilots & Agents. Hosted by the Azure, AI/ML & Data Community Durban user group, this event promises to be the most comprehensive Data & AI gathering in Durban to date.

Data & AI Community Day Durban: Season of AI—Copilots & Agents is a full-day, in-person event packed with cutting-edge insights and networking opportunities. It will take place on November 23, 2024. As with the previous event, UNISA graciously hosts it, and the venue is (also as for the last event) the Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel and Convention Centre in Umhlanga. The event promises to be an exciting, in-depth exploration of artificial intelligence and other hot topics in the realm of Data and AI.

Even though Season of AI is a Microsoft initiative, we expect topics covering non-Microsoft tech. The event will feature a mix of 60-minute and 20-minute sessions, with speakers from a diverse panel of experts, architects, and Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) who are all at the forefront of their fields.

The Azure, AI/ML & Data Community Durban group is a user group for the community, by the community. It is a learning experience where we share, learn, and encourage the community to do more with Azure, AI/ML, and Data to solve problems. Our mission statement as this group is to become and create heroes of society through Azure, AI/ML, and Data. We Do Positive Things through innovation and passion.

  • Contribute to the growth of the local Data and AI/ML community.
  • Elevate your personal brand and thought leadership.

🎯 Topics of Interest:

The event's theme is Season of AI - Copilots & Agents, but that doesn't mean you must present about AI. Azure, AI/ML & Data Community Durban wouldn't organise the event if we didn’t expect a mix of other cool topics. So, we're looking for engaging talks in areas such as:

  • Microsoft Copilot
  • Generative AI
  • Database Development
  • Streaming Data & Real-Time Analytics
  • Real-world AI & Data Use Cases
  • Power Platform & Power Apps

If you have a passion for any of these areas (or anything else related to AI/ML and Data) and want to share your knowledge, we want to hear from you!

We encourage "new" speakers to submit submit proposals. We give you a "safe" environment to get into speaking at conferences!

So, once again, if you are passionate about any of the areas above, please submit!
