We heten je van harte welkom bij het congres Dutch Cloud & AI Conference in het Postillion Convention in Bunnik. Parkeren is gratis en Station Bunnik is slechts op 10 minuten loopafstand. Daarnaast is er direct naast het hotel de bushalte Kosterijland, Bunnik.

We open the Dutch Cloud & AI Conference with a thought-provoking talkshow on the speed of technological advancement — and why this matters now more than ever for digital leaders.

As innovation in AI, Cloud, and automation accelerates, the roles of Cloud and IT leaders becomes more strategic than ever. This talkshow brings together experts to explore the key opportunities and pitfalls of this fast-moving landscape. What are the long-term impacts of today’s technology decisions? And how do you build future-proof architectures that balance speed, scalability, and ethics? A must-see conversation for everyone shaping the digital infrastructure of tomorrow.

Are you ready to maximize the value of your cloud platform and drive transformative growth with artificial intelligence (AI)? This presentation will show you how to amplify your existing investments by building powerful AI solutions on top of your cloud infrastructure. While we focus on five key industries—Manufacturing, Banking, Retail, Energy, and Automotive Dealerships—you’ll discover AI strategies and use cases that can be applied across all industries.

From predictive analytics and supply chain optimization to fraud detection, personalized customer experiences, and energy efficiency, these insights are designed to help businesses in any sector thrive. Whether your goal is to boost productivity, improve decision-making, or unlock new revenue streams, this session will guide you through proven strategies for leveraging your cloud platform to deploy AI solutions that deliver maximum ROI. Learn how to stay competitive and lead your industry by doubling down on innovation with AI-powered technologies.

How do you turn diverse data sources into real operational gains? In this session, Erkut Ekinci, Head of Information Technology at Hugo Boss, will show how structured data collection and applied AI techniques have led to measurable improvements in a complex manufacturing environment from an IT perspective.

Drawing from multiple domains he will showcase a series of real-world AI projects focused on:

• Predictive maintenance, enabling proactive interventions before machine failures
• Marker laying optimization, reducing cutting time, fabric waste, and manual effort
• Model efficiency prediction, estimating the best production line for each new model
• Fabric shrinkage estimation, improving accuracy and minimizing material loss
• Production planning optimization, matching orders to the ideal combination of lines, machines, and operators

These projects demonstrate how AI can support key business KPIs—Quality, Cost, and Delivery (QCD)—through practical, results-oriented solutions. You will gain insight into how real innovation happens on the factory floor, and how data from different domains can be transformed into tangible value with AI.
