WATCH BACK ON DEMAND
ADS are pleased to bring you a new series of lunchtime webinars, sponsored by AWS, focused on emerging technologies that are likely to have a significant impact on Industry across the ADS sectors.
We heard from a mixture of industry and academic specialists in the field. All these webinars are intended to be an introduction to the subject matter and will not be overly technical, but rather looking at the realities and potential impact of these technologies, alongside the risks and the opportunities that they present to businesses.
The series is open to both ADS members & non-members.
