The world of technology is constantly evolving, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now at the forefront of this transformation. It’s an area we are all navigating, so Corecom Consulting recently hosted a successful event in Amsterdam, bringing together a room full of passionate tech specialists based in the Netherlands. 

This event, our second in Amsterdam, was titled “AI: navigating AI transformation: practical strategies from innovators and leaders.” Our esteemed speakers offered a wealth of diverse perspectives, covering key areas relevant to European tech recruitment and AI strategies. 

Leaders and Innovators share AI insights

A night of engagement, learning, and collaboration

There was plenty of energy in the room, with attendees actively participating in an extended Q&A session – the longest we’ve ever witnessed at our events! This lively exchange highlighted the deep engagement and enthusiasm of the Dutch tech community towards AI. We’ve already received fantastic feedback, and we’re excited to see how these learnings translate into action.
