The conference will take place at the Mayo campus of ATU
‘Supercharge your Business with AI’ is this year’s theme of the annual Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Digital West Conference.
The free event is due to take place in ATU Mayo campus (Castlebar) on Friday, October 11, from 8.30am-1.30pm.
Organised by ATU’s School of Business in partnership with Castlebar Chamber, ATU iHub and the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) Mayo, the free conference will be opened by the President of the Atlantic Technological University, Dr Orla Flynn, and addressed by the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Dara Calleary TD.
The annual conference attracts leaders, innovators and tech enthusiasts from home and abroad as well as ATU students, staff and graduates.
This year’s theme will dive into AI technology's crucial role in enhancing business operations and driving growth. Attendees will gain valuable insights from a stellar line-up of keynote speakers, engage with compelling success stories, and witness a live demonstration showcasing practical AI applications.
Keynote speakers include Dr Muslim Syed (ATU), Muireann Fitzmaurice, and Brian Hanely.
Event organiser and ATU Assistant Lecturer Anne Conlon commented: “It has always been a very successful event and this year it is exciting to bring it back to an in-person event on a much bigger scale with opportunities for more engagement for businesses and students.”
Meghann Drury-Grogan, Head of Department of Enterprise and Technology, School of Business, ATU Galway-Mayo said they are looking forward to not only welcoming post-graduate students in Digital Media and Marketing, but also undergraduate students.
She added: “This is an impactful event for our ATU Galway and Mayo students to make new connections as we bring a perspective on AI and digital technologies in the west of Ireland and beyond.”
The conference will feature a dynamic segment called ‘LightBulbs Talks’, where business leaders share ten-minute stories on how AI has revolutionised their operations.
These first-hand accounts will provide actionable insights and inspire attendees to explore AI solutions within their organisations.
Tickets for the event are free, but limited. You can secure your place by booking on the Digital West Conference website now.
