Everyone is stressed. Manufacturers don't understand the requirements, how to make a product, or even what to price it at. Overseas buyers and brands don't seem to know how to communicate with factories, what processes of manufacturing to check, or even if they should trust a manufacturer at all. All while consumers and clients aren't sure which product is safe, well priced and has the best quality. Stephan Thaerigen is on a mission to make all the process of manufacturing in China more transparent. Following a short presentation, we'll talk to Stephan about quality control, his case studies in sourcing and most importantly, compliance.

We'll explore some of the new characteristics of global supply and offer advice so you can navigate to success.

The era of passwords is coming to an end, with new alternative methods of online authentication steadily taking their place to secure our ever-changing digital identities. With AI allowing hackers to carry out cyber attacks on a much wider scale, passwords—with their vulnerabilities—are simply not enough to provide a strong sense of security anymore.

During his presentation, Sorin Manole will draw a parallel between online authentication solutions and more familiar technologies, guiding participants through the evolution of our digital identities and predicting what's next.

WPC is comprised of over 300 member companies from across the world, including Apple, Sony, Samsung, Microsoft, Huawei and Google, as well as many smaller and start-up technology companies. Their Qi interface technology is certified for over 9000 different wireless charging products-- a great example of what collaboration and cooperation can do.

While the adoption of AI in the commercial sector is booming, AI and Data Science are barely applied for solving major environmental, humanitarian, and social problems. Mainly, it is because NGOs that work on these problems struggle to adopt new technologies like AI and have barely access to skilled AI and Data Science Professionals. In this talk we will focus on several use cases how AI can help tackle humanitarian and ecological problems of this world and how we can help nonprofit sector to apply AI for benefit of all by creating a strong network of volunteering AI professionals.
