ai-PULSE, Teratec, UAV Show: five tech events to follow in October, and our agenda in France

AI, commerce, drones, intensive and space computing: in October, FRENCHWEB.FR is holding five meetings for the relevance of their program, the expertise of the speakers announced and the possibility of discussing with those who implement these technologies.

In a crowded calendar, historic conferences often capture the attention, but new events are nevertheless worth the detour. Beyond notoriety, a conference is also valuable for the meetings it allows and the precision of the questions it asks.

How to preserve customer relationships when AI agents are involved in purchasing? How to integrate drones into military operations? How to make advanced calculation a reliable industrial tool?

Our October selection follows this thread: the transition from innovation to uses, with the technical, economic and organizational choices that it imposes.

In Biarritz, One to One examines customer relations in the age of AI agents

October 6/8 in Biarritz – eCommerce, retail, martech, customer experience, AI.

What happens to a brand when the purchase involves an assistant capable of recommending, comparing and choosing? The One to One IA x Customer Experience program will address this redistribution of roles based on marketing and customer relations professions.

will intervene, Marie Mercierglobal head of AI and innovation at La Redoute, Jérôme Boissouresponsible for customer experience and brand programs at Legrand, or Nicolas Rohrco-founder of Faguo. The opportunity to link debates on AI to production, purchasing journeys and the organization of teams.

Highlights: on October 6, the conference on AI and on-demand fashion with Yann Rivoallan and Nicolas Rohr; on the 7th, feedback from Shiseido, Boulanger and Groupe SEB during the Amazon Ads session, then the discussion on the standardization of the customer experience with La Redoute and Legrand.

In Bordeaux, UAV Show confronts drones with operational requirements

October 7/9 in Bordeaux – defense tech, drones, robotics, autonomous systems, dual technologies.

The drone forces us to bring together worlds that do not always work at the same pace: aeronautical research, young companies, industrialists and armed forces. UAV Show allows you to observe this meeting through a program focused on civil and military uses, with the highly anticipated interventions ofEmmanuel ChivaCEO of ONERA, as well as the generals Baratz and Duvivier.

This connection between civil and military uses is also at the heart of our deciphering of QUANTUM SYSTEMS and autonomous air intelligence.

Highlights: the opening sequence of October 7, followed by a round table devoted to the place of drones in the armies, the professional exchanges of October 7 and 8, then the Demo Day on October 9 at Mérignac airport.

In Paris, ai-PULSE questions artificial intelligence infrastructures

October 13, at Station F, Paris – AI, cloud, semiconductors, computing, open software.

Access to models does not solve all the difficulties of an artificial intelligence project, there remain calculation capacities, operating costs and data control. It is on this articulation that ai-PULSE, organized by Scaleway, presents a particularly interesting program.

Announced speakers include Raffi Krikoriantechnical director of Mozilla, Philippe Nottonfounder of SiPearl, Khaled Maalejco-founder of VSORA, and Lars Maaløeco-founder and technical director of Corti.

Highlights: the announced keynote by Raffi Krikorian and three courses devoted to access to AI resources, the evolution of technological competition and the control of architectures, data and costs.

For CTOs and founders, the interest will be to compare technical choices with the economic conditions of deployment. The meeting naturally retains the point of view of its organizer, a player in the European cloud.

With Teratec, advanced computing is put to the industry test

October 20/21 – at the Palais des congrès, Paris – High performance computing, simulation, industrial AI, quantum.

Designing a part, simulating a physical phenomenon or integrating AI into a critical system requires much more than a demonstration, however convincing it may be. The Teratec Forum addresses these precision and reliability constraints, by bringing together researchers, technology suppliers and industrial users.

As evidenced by the list of speakers announced, it includes in particular Christophe Calvin from CEA, Nicolas Bousquet from EDF, Jayant Sen Gupta from Airbus and Sylvain Mousset from ANSSI.

Highlights: conferences on AI in industry, European quantum computing, defense AI and trust in supercomputing. The program also includes technical and application workshops.

In Toulouse, the Space Summit places users at the heart of space

October 27/28, at the Pierre Baudis Congress Center, Toulouse – Space tech, energy, mobility, climate, insurance, critical infrastructure.

Space takes on another dimension when examined from an electrical network, an emergency service or an insurer. The first edition of the Space Summit for a Resilient Future, organized by Novaspace with the support of the Occitanie Region, adopts this needs-based approach.

To extend this reading, our analysis of ICEYE and the European challenges of satellite radar imagery sheds light on the role of space data in observation and operational response capabilities.

The program announces in particular Alain Fauréhead of space systems at Airbus Defense and Space, François Jacq from CNESas well as officials from ENTSO-E, Iberdrola and Generali.

Highlights: on October 27, discussions on civil security and disaster management, applications to transport, then the session on energy with Damian Cortinas from ENTSO-E, Diego Díaz Pilas from Iberdrola, Emmanuelle Brechet from TotalEnergies and Stéphanie Limouzin from CLS.
