The technology market continues to update at a rapid pace, and Oddsgate, with a silver medal as 'Best Information Technology (IT) Workplace in Portugal 2024', always has its eyes open to emerging opportunities and trends.
With a full agenda of events in different countries this year 2024, the company has already left its mark at key meetings such as ICE London, SBC Rio de Janeiro, SiGMA São Paulo and, now, Collision.
The conference, which took place from June 17th to 20th, was a showcase of innovation and dynamism, bringing together discussed minds and leaders from different sectors. “It was a unique opportunity to discuss trends, share knowledge and establish valuable connections,” reports Guilherme Graziani, responsible for the Business Development area in Latin America and one of the company representatives present at the event.
Conference highlights:
*Artificial intelligence
The main protagonist of the conference was AI. The panels showed a notable divergence of views, sometimes positive, sometimes more concerned and pragmatic, and were even attended by the “Godfather of AI”, Geoffrey Hinton.
Graziani points out: “The technological advances promoted by AI are many and indisputable, and this opportunity highlighted its advantages and efficiency at a global level in aspects such as improving internal communication, speed and effectiveness in generating data and information, improvements in service and the boosting productivity.”
In this context, one of the topics that caught the Oddsgate team's attention the most was the creative solutions offered by many startups to problems in their relevant sectors. Most utilize AI technology, but many, like JobRedy, highlight the importance of the human touch when creating networks between job seekers and mentors.
The team reports that the ethical and social implications of this innovation were also discussed, with emphasis on the risks of unlimited development, reinforcing the need for controlled and responsible progress.
One meeting point was cybersecurity and data privacy, a subject that Oddsgate is very interested in. The consensus was that the best approach is collaboration between AI and security teams, incorporating protective actions from the beginning of any development.
Already reaping the fruits of the knowledge and networking promoted at the event, Oddsgate organizes AI-powered startups that can add significant value to sales, operations, development and support teams, continuing to stand out in the iGaming market and initiates conversations to implement such improvements.
* Diversity and inclusion
Encouraging a more inclusive and equitable culture was seen as a priority. Not only in the presence of different countries, but also in celebrating the significant increase in female presence. 45% of startups were founded by women, the general audience was 42% female and there were 35% female speakers.
Panels were also directed to address this issue, demonstrating the organization's engagement.
Final considerations
For next year, the energy, innovation and development of the area will continue to happen, but with a new look and scenario. The conference will take on the name used by the group, known as Web Summit and will take place in Vancouver, as announced.
In any case, the event is a celebration of technologies and market developments, being extremely necessary in a world facing the complexities of the digital revolution, with the potential to influence and shape a future that is not only technologically advanced, but also conscious and comprehensive.
Oddsgate looks forward to participating again, following a positive presence at Collision, considering the event a valuable platform to expand reach and influence in the technology and iGaming industries, providing important opportunities for growth, with leads and partnerships, as well as insights and different and relevant views.
