It was great to see you all at the eXplainable AI Day 2024

A recap of eXplainable AI Day

It was a pleasure to have you actively participating during eXplainable AI Day 2024. A lot of work has been done to prepare the conference to stand out as a premier event in the field of AI, and we are pleased with the result. The effort we invested has truly paid off.

Our preparation was extensive, from actively promoting the event across social media platforms to optimizing the ClickMeeting platform. We began by launching a marketing campaign in Poland and globally to make it accessible to all those interested in understanding the AI decision-making process. We took care of promotion, created graphics, which we then shared with our speakers to enable them to promote eXplainable AI Day and share it among their colleagues and business partners. Additionally, we sent emails to inform individuals within the industry that such an event was taking place, aiming to broaden the audience and maximize participation. We collaborated with many business groups to widen our reach and facilitate access to insightful speeches offered during the conference. Moreover, we promoted the conference on LinkedIn, providing people with details and foster connections among attendees.

eXplainable AI Day by the numbers

Our last event, which took place the previous year, gather 117 attendees with 57% of the registered individuals participating. We were determined to surpass this record and we succeeded! For eXplainable AI day 2024, 326 people registered, showcasing a keen interest in understanding AI decisions. To sum up, 194 people actively participated in our event, with the peak viewership reaching 137 attendees immersing themselves in the world of explainable AI. After the conference many people reached out to us with positive feedback. The attendance rate was high with 60% of registered participants attending the event. This is a much higher result than what is typically achieved in the case of online events.
