IMI Annual Event 2024

 

Our annual event 2024 will kick off on November 19 at 17:00 at the unlimitrust campus in Prilly, Lausanne West. On the agenda: an overview of our activities, short presentations of our projects, a special report on lessons learned from a historic year of global elections marked by the threat of AI, and a networking cocktail, all designed to immerse you in the latest technologies and research in media.

Our goal? To bring together more than a hundred people, from media professionals to academics and those simply interested in the subject, and give them the opportunity to interact on issues that are at the heart of how our society is evolving: whether it is the place of information in our democracies or the role of AI as a social force, welcome to a space where change seems to be happening faster than the human mind can grasp it.

Seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot now.
