AI for qual hackathon

***FULLY BOOKED PLEASE EMAIL info@aqr.org.uk TO GO ON THE WAITING LIST*** Following the success of our hackathon in 2023 the AQR is convening another unique event for anyone interested in increasing their knowledge and skills in this area. The aim: for us all to participate, learn, and reflect together on what generative AI means for our professional community in 2025.

It’s been a couple of years since generative AI caught the popular imagination. A lot has changed in that time. Many of us are using generalist, specialist and even bespoke gen AI platforms on a daily basis. Use cases are becoming clearer across project workflows.

But things are changing, fast.

Existing platforms are adding features at pace. New players are emerging. And entirely new use cases are emerging as this hyper-competitive field develops apace.

The session will combine presentations from experts with a hackathon focusing on 3 qualitative data collection and analysis platforms.

No expertise is required! We’ll be learning by doing and sharing — all in a single afternoon’s session.

This special AQR event is kindly sponsored by CoLoop
and taking place at Shoreditch exchange, Senna Building, Gorsuch Pl, London E2 8JF
