2. AI-SDV 2020 The Meeting
The Artificial Intelligence Conference on Search, Data and Text Mining, Analytics and Visualization.
The 2020 AI-SDV Conference in Nice, 5–6 October 2020
2020 Analytics and Visualization Meeting (Presented by VantagePoint), 5. and 6. October 2020
AI-SDV 2020 is the place to be for everyone involved in advanced search and data applications, text mining and visualization
technology. Individuals and companies that are shaping the future of this exciting space that surrounds us and impacts us all
will present their latest research findings, tech developments and vision for the future.
It’s a full-on two days of learning, networking and exploring technologies and concepts that are now and will continue to change
way we as individuals and organisations work, rest and play. The focus is Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digitization 2.0 (about
making companies, processes and people ready for AI), Deep Learning and other topics identified by our community, who are
specialists working in scientific and technical information.
The event features around 22 speakers over two days, plus an exhibition to complement the conference programme.
The VantagePoint and BizInt 2020 Analytics and Visualization Meeting follows the conference on 6 October at the same
location. This is hosted by Search Technology and BizInt and will focus on creating effective reports and visualizations to
support decision making. It will feature user case studies, product updates and two workshops. The meeting is designed for
both current and prospective users of VantagePoint and BizInt.
More information about the AVM 2020 you find here -> http://www.bizint.com/events/AVM2020/
In 2020, based on attendee feedback, we are combining all the concepts the ICIC and II-SDV-Meetings in this one event in Nice.
As past attendees tell us, it’s a fabulous location and, beyond the formal meetings taking place in the conference and exhibition
space, we make the most of this gorgeous location for informal evening receptions under the stars and networking dinners.
The size of the group makes it perfect for individuals from all sides of the information and tech space to meet and spend time
together formally and also socially.
According to our exhibitors and attendees, the size of the event, the beautiful location and mix of people is why they return year
after year. It’s where they learn, stay on top of developments, meet peers, find new collaboration opportunities and do business.
That’s why they return – and we hope you will join us too in 2020 and contribute to our programme as an attendee,
speaker or exhibitor – and we look forward to welcoming you.

3. Why should you attend
Why the AI-SDV Meeting?
Artificial Intelligence in the area of Search engines, data and text mining, visualization and text analysis are subjects for many
academic research meetings. Often they are also included in other information conferences. The AI-SDV meeting is, however,
the only event that focuses on these tools for those in the professional information community. Similarly, there are
many meetings that examine the collection of intelligence. So the AI-SDV meeting is the only international event that
focuses on tools for intelligence.
Who should attend the AI-SDV Conference?
The AI-SDV meeting is of importance to all professionals involved in the information world, be they employees or managers in
information departments, information tools developers, or patent specialists. We decided to combine the topics of the ICIC
(International Chemical Information Conference) and II-SDV-Meeting and we will run only one conference in Europe.
Why should you attend?
• To keep yourself up-to-date with the best practices in software-based search, text mining, analysis and visualization.
• A two-day focus on one clearly defined subject area – search tools and information analysis – enables professionals to
improve and hone their skills and to examine possible new ideas. Attending the presentations, and interacting with the
speakers, will update you with the best practices and technologies at the moment, in this crucial domain.
• You will be amongst colleagues who confront similar challenges to those you face and you can benefit from each others‘
experience. Interaction with the expert speakers and with specialists in the exhibition will provide you with a fresh source of
facts and ideas. You will network with other professionals from leading international corporations and research centres in the
fields of text analysis, search engines, tools for intelligence.
• Social networking on electronic media such as Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter enable you to interact with large numbers of
people in your subject area. But face-to-face contact such as you will find at the AI-SDV meeting remains unrivalled when it
comes to exploring ideas informally and evaluating the experiences and views of others.
• The knowledge of the best tools for analysing and understanding the contents of information such as that found in patents or
in business news is the principal way to anticipate and understand what your organisation‘s competitors are doing or may be
planning to do. Search engines for text analysis, data mining, visualization, mapping ... are among the best ways to confront
these crucial challenges for a company or research group.
• Increasingly in todays world, hard work is the key to success. But unless hard work is complemented by superior skills and
professional know-how, hard work alone will not enable companies to survive and thrive. You need to take every opportunity
to enhance your professionalism, and this tightly-focused information meeting provides such an opportunity. You can then
take the new knowledge you have acquired back to your colleagues in the office. You will become an increasingly
credible partner for your managers and for helping them to make intelligent decisions – intelligence gathering to
support decision making.
