Rounding off its speaker line-up will be German entrepreneur Victoria Albrecht, CEO and founder of Springbok AI, a data science consultancy.
Prior to this, she worked at yfood as creative director, managing over 100 conferences and consulting projects with companies such as Mars, the Jamie Oliver Group, Tesco and Tyson Foods. At 24, she joined the Silicon Valley-backed leading Conversational AI start-up “Rasa” as the 5th employee. In 2017, she founded Springbok AI, a boutique Artificial Intelligence consultancy which applies research to deliver intelligent automation and insight software to global businesses.
At the Conference Business Day, she will be talking on AI: preparing for an automated future.
ceda’s Adam Mason said: “We always try to create a real blend of insights at the ceda Conference and Victoria’s presentation will no doubt be eye-opening and maybe even a little scary for some! This topic will impact everyone, both personally and professionally, now and in the future and it will therefore be hugely valuable for everyone in the audience.”
Hospitality Action has also been confirmed as the Chair-nominated charity for the conference.
ceda's in-coming Chair, Derek Maher, explained: “I’m very enthusiastic about supporting Hospitality Action this year as they are perfectly aligned with the ethics of ceda.
“Additionally, I have also started training for the “Le Tour de Cuisine” on 10th June which is a 100-mile cycle ride in the Cotswolds organised by Hospitality Action.”
