What do you do when a global pandemic hits and messes up your 2020 business plans? We decided to run 18 weeks of webinars. As our pipeline slowed we knew we weren’t the only ones having a hard time navigating Covid-19, so we decided to launch two webinar series, #AIFightsBack and #GoSmarter. Since the webinars were a hit, we decided to compile recaps of all the content in one place for easy access, viewing and sharing.

#AIFightsBack
Consisting of 11 talks with 5 guest speakers, the series addressed some key topics from using AI to enhance business functions to the use of AI in specific industries like manufacturing. We wanted to help other businesses by demonstrating how AI can be used in their field to combat some of the effects of lockdown and remain productive in tough times.
