Celonis is hosting a three-day conference to develop process mining expertise across Toronto (May 21), Ottawa (May 22), and Montreal (May 23). Process mining can be implemented within academia, research, and industry.
What can you expect to learn from this roadshow?
- Researchers will learn the ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already overlapping with process mining, how to conduct process mining research, and how to partner directly with Celonis and other researchers
- Academics will learn how to implement process mining with the classroom, launch student process mining ventures, and align with industry members looking to hire talent
- Industry members will learn business use cases for process mining across varying industry verticals, current trends in process mining and AI, and how to implement process mining within their own business processes
