Media Makers Meet - Mx3 and Media Voices are joining forces to present Mx3 AI, an opportunity for select industry decision-makers to come together and discuss the latest AI developments in London.

Mx3 AI overview

Generative AI exploded into public consciousness with the launch of ChatGPT on 30 November 2022. As with the arrival of any new pervasive technology, conversations, experiments, and product roll-outs often happen in vacuums - between organisations, markets and sectors.

At some point, the industry has to come together to share common challenges, spotlight early learnings and develop a more unified voice. Media Makers Meet - Mx3 and Media Voices' Mx3 AI is a platform to help find that voice.

Mx3 AI will draw together learnings from existing AI technologies - many of which have been used by publishers for years - and the potential challenges and opportunities presented by new ones. From automated local news stories to on-site generative AI chatbots, come and learn, discover and discuss use cases with fellow professionals.

Mx3 AI schedule

Mx3 AI is a one-day event focused on AI and the Media. It includes:

• Speaker programme.

• End-of-year networking immediately afterwards.

• Podcast and report that will be released post-event.

It is an intimate, conversation-led event exclusively for business leaders across media and media tech. To foster an environment where discussions can be productive, there are only 75 places available.
