Microsoft Switzerland TeamData & AI Summer School 2024
Dear Microsoft partners, even if the temperatures have not yet reached summer levels, the AI summer continues to be in full swing. While AI continues to attract significant attention, more organizations are recognizing the importance of thinking about data and AI from an end-to-end perspective. This broader view encompasses critical aspects such as data management, governance, security, user interactions, and the augmentation of workforce capabilities. We believe this comprehensive approach is more impactful, though we acknowledge it can be more challenging to fully grasp. The focus of our event is to equip you, our partner, with this broader perspective and provide a deeper understanding of how our technologies can be integrated to deliver even greater impact for your customers and your business. Join us at The Circle for a fantastic opportunity to expand your AI knowledge, upgrade your technical skills, and network with industry leaders from the Microsoft Swiss GPS tech team.
