Belgian Innoptus Solar Team

Thursday November 21, 2024 11:50am - 12:50pm CET

Room 3

Over 19 years ago, a team of passionate engineering students were eager to do more with their engineering degree. They set out to build the very first Belgian solar car, the Umicar One, and to participate in the World Solar Challenge, a race of 3021 kilometers through the Australian Outback.
To this day, that is still what we do: we build solar cars. We build solar cars to race them all over the world, but also to showcase the power of green energy and to prove that Belgian technologies are at the forefront of innovation.

By Wout Rubbrecht, team manager, and Isra Klaasen, Team Strategist.

Bridging On-Premises and Azure: handling the struggles of a hybrid azure environment

Thursday November 21, 2024 11:50am - 12:50pm CET

Room 1

Setting up a hybrid environment presents its own set of challenges, with DNS serving as a cornerstone for infrastructure stability. Achieving seamless resolution between on-premises and Azure DNS zones is crucial. While historically, many applications were hosted on-premises, there’s been a recent trend of migrating them to Azure. Despite this shift, maintaining a standardized authentication method remains essential. Leveraging Entra ID authentication can provide a uniform login experience for both on-premises and Azure applications, enabling the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for on-premises applications as well. Entra-ID has it’s limitations with nested groups (enterprise-applications) what are the options and how can we get rid of this painfull issue?

Strategic Approaches to Implementing AI and LLM in Your Company

Thursday November 21, 2024 2:15pm - 3:15pm CET

Room 4

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the news about AI? Are you wondering if this hype will have an impact on your company? Are you unsure how to get started? This talk cuts through the noise.

The 'ChatGPT effect' is based on text generation, but there is so much more that can help you accelerate. We'll explore strategies for integrating AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) into your daily operations, drawing on real-world examples from our own experience.

I'll also cover what’s important for successful adoption and the critical aspect of change management. This requires you to consider infrastructure, ethical implications, data management, and onboarding for your team.

The goal of this talk is to help business leaders and technical decision-makers understand how AI can be useful for their companies and how to get ready for the future of business.

Creating data visuals that will engage your audience

Thursday November 21, 2024 3:20pm - 3:40pm CET

Room 3

Data is often too extensive to learn anything just by looking at the numbers. Instead, we need figures that showcase patterns and relationships in (groups of) data. When showing data, you want to make sure that your audience can easily see the message in these graphs and make correct interpretations. It is therefore super important to choose the right type of visual and colours that fit your data, and highlight the "so what" message. The ultimate goal is to stitch these visuals together in a consistent story that will drive further decisions and actions.
