Sofia Nystedt from Destination Östersund was one of the participants.

One of the participants was Sofia Nystedt, who works at Destination Östersund. Right now, she is working together with Samling Näringsliv in a project called Data data. The goal of the project is to de-dramatize the issue of data and support companies to take the step to start using their data and become more data-driven.

- I came to learn more about AI and hear what the companies had to say. There was a broad mix of examples here. It has been a good day, great breadth and an open atmosphere where people have dared to ask questions. It's always fun, says Sofia.

Daniel Nordberg from Forefront Consulting.

Daniel Nordberg works at the consulting company Forefront. Daniel found out about the event quite late and decided to participate.

- I understood that there were lectures on AI and data-driven development, but I had quite low expectations and maybe that's why I was so pleasantly surprised! It was great, it felt professional and stable. I got a little inspired and got some ideas that I'm going to pitch internally, says Daniel.

Jonatan Lundgren, teacher in informatics and computer science at Mid Sweden University, took the opportunity to participate.

Another participant was Jonatan Lundgren, who works as a teacher in informatics and computer science at Mid Sweden University.

- I wanted to learn new things and hear fun, practical examples of how AI is used. I don't work with AI today, but I teach system development, and AI is a popular tool in the industry and it's important that our students learn to experiment with it themselves, says Jonatan.
