Sessions focused on AI and data optimization
One of the highlights of this first day was the technical focus of the opening sessions, which addressed topics that reflect an accelerated digital transformation in the NDT field, such as the application of artificial intelligence to develop more accurate and autonomous tools, as well as strategies to optimize data flow and processing.
These presentations captured the attention of specialists interested in integrating new analytical capabilities into their operations, especially in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, transportation, and advanced manufacturing.
Inspiring keynote address by Lisa Ryan
The highlight of the day was the keynote address by Lisa Ryan, president of Grategy, renowned for her focus on leadership and organizational culture. Her talk offered a comprehensive view of how human relationships, gratitude, and collaboration remain highly relevant factors in an increasingly automated environment.
