Spring Fest: GenAI for Business by the Postgraduate Studies in Big Data and Analytics

Intro

Welcome to 'Spring Fest: GenAI for Business' - a celebration of the dynamic growth and achievements of our Postgraduate Studies in Big Data and Analytics in Business and Management, which was initiated in the academic year 2017-2018. Since then, our program has fostered a vibrant alumni network, and now it's time to reunite and expand our connections within the thriving Big Data and Analytics community.

At this Spring Fest, we invite you to join us for an insightful afternoon program. Our distinguished keynotes will provide a broader perspective on the application of GenAI in the world of business. They'll delve into the innovative possibilities and emerging trends that GenAI offers, equipping you with valuable insights to navigate this transformative landscape.

Following the keynotes, we'll transition into a captivating networking event, where you'll have the opportunity to reunite with former participants, forge new connections, and exchange knowledge and experiences with professionals from a diverse range of companies and organizations. This event is a unique opportunity to engage, learn, and grow within the realm of Big Data and Analytics.
