The Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute (NMDSI) will host its inaugural symposium, “Untapped AI – Next Frontiers,” on Thursday, April 13.
This event is free and open to the public and will focus on artificial intelligence research, ethics, emerging trends and best practices. Attendees will hear from a variety of experts in the data science industry and academia and have the opportunity to network with industry peers.
NMDSI is a collaboration between Northwestern Mutual, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Marquette University.
The event will kick off with a keynote address from Dr. Desmond Patton, a nationally recognized AI expert. Following, we will host a fireside chat conversation with NMDSI leadership, including:
- Dr. Anju Gupta (moderator), vice president of data sciences and analytics, Northwestern Mutual
- Dr. Michael Lovell, president of Marquette University
- Dr. Mark Mone, chancellor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
- Don Vu, chief data officer, Northwestern Mutual
Attendees will then hear from a variety of NMDSI experts via a series of topical lightning talks.
The day will conclude with a student poster session highlighting students from Marquette University and UWM as well as Northwestern Mutual employees, who will create and share posters to showcase their research projects. Participants will present to attendees and judges and should be willing to answer questions and discuss their work. Apply online by Friday, March 31, to be a part of the poster session.
Join us for a networking reception with refreshments during the poster session.
The event will take place virtually and in person at Northwestern Mutual’s downtown Milwaukee campus.
