Attendees should make sure they join the pioneering speaker session our Success Manager Susan Nguyen is leading.
With the topic focusing on ‘Entering the AI Era: Data, Decisions and the Future of Zoos and Aquariums’, expect to learn how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape how zoos and aquariums plan, operate, and understand their visitors – and what this looks like in practice. This session brings together leaders from across the sector to explore how data and AI can support better decision-making across institutions.
