The conference “Tecnoloxía e Deporte” will analyze the transforming effect of Internet of things, data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) in sports

The first conference on technology and sports, promoted by the Fundación Deporte Galego, in collaboration with R and cinfo, arrives in Galicia on March the 21st. In the AC Palacio del Carmen experts in technology and a wide representation of Galician sport will meet to talk about innovation in the sports sector.

We will learn how the Internet of things, data analysis and Artificial Intelligence are opening new opportunities to generate income and entertainment models for sport fans.

We will have very interesting talks where we will be able to know the success cases of the R.C. Deportivo or the Monbus Obradoiro, professional panels on audiovisual rights of the sport not majority and on emerging technologies applied to the sport.

In addition, it will be a unique opportunity to enjoy a working lunch to network with other attendees throughout Galicia.
