The program in detail

On September 5th  and 6th, 2024, JADS will host the first-ever Industry Summit on Data Product Oriented Architectures (POA). The summit aims to bring together scientists researching the state-of-the-art in POA with industry practitioners in order to:

  • Facilitate knowledge sharing between practitioners from non-competing organizations that face similar challenges when implementing a decentralized data (POA) architecture;
  • Make academic knowledge more readily available to industry practitioners;
  • Challenge academia to address the real-world problems organizations are facing with their POA transitions;
  • Foster collaboration between industry and academia.

On this page we would like to introduce you to our speakers at the Summit. And we are proud to share them!
