BASSETERRE, St. Kitts,– The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal deep insights from data sets and inform policy and decision making will be among topics to be discussed during the two-day sixth Growth and Resilience Dialogue early next month, the St. Kitts-based Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) has announced.
The April 6-7 event will be held under the theme, “Climate Resilience: Securing The Future of Small Island Developing States.”
“The event is guaranteed to inspire, motivate and challenge attendees as they engage subject matter experts, business professionals and thought leaders on their perspectives and solutions to address climate change challenges for the region’s energy, tourism and health sectors,” said the ECCB, which serves as a central bank for Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, St. Kitts-Nevis and Montserrat.
The target audiences for the virtual event are public and private sector individuals, including parliamentarians, chief executive officers, students, technocrats, entrepreneurs, and other service providers in agriculture, fishing, tourism, construction, technology, finance, health, and academia.
The ECCB said that there would be several agenda items to be covered during the two-day event, including accelerating the transition to renewable energy to drive climate change resilience and mitigation, climate resilience and health and nutrition, as well as global climate change and tourism.
The conference will also showcase data challenge applications.
