In all the AI discussions in recent months, it was very often about the impact of generative AI (ChatGPT, MidJourney etc.) on the creative process. But of course, the potential applications of AI in the music industry go far beyond that. Tools that e.g. suggest appropriate playlists based on biometric data or recommend which concerts you should definitely go to have been known for some time. But can you also organize a music festival using AI? At the Lokerse Feesten they think so.
Steven Latré is an AI expert by day and a festival organizer by night. He is vice president Machine Learning and AI at the research center imec (world leader in research on nanoelectronics and digital technology) and professor at the University of Antwerp. He is also a press officer at the Lokerse Feesten, but of course he also brings in his AI expertise.
AI already supports the organizers of the Lokerse Feesten today in a number of areas: from estimating or predicting ticket sales over modeling audience flows to more targeted deployment of marketing campaigns. But the possibilities go a lot further, as will be shown during this talk. In this talk we explain what AI is and - especially - what it is not, and how you as a festival organizer can build in practical tools to make more targeted choices.
Do festival organizers now also have to start fearing for their jobs? Steven Latré brings you the answer during Unwrap.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
