 Good morning. Good morning predictors. Welcome to predict 2019. While those of you who made it through the rain and the traffic and got here on time, well done. So it's that time of year where we take a break from our double screened computers to lift our head above, have talk about data science, technology, AI and business. So this is the fifth year of predict and we couldn't be more excited to get the day kicked off. We started, our CREM Global started predict in 2015. And the reason we did it was at the time it was a 10th birthday of the company. And we really wanted, we've been travelling, most of our business is international and we've travelling all around the world and we've seen some good conferences but we didn't really see a great conference and we wanted to bring together technologists, practitioners, business people and researchers all in one place and do that in a fun and inspiring venue and event. And that's why we started predict. We wanted to kind of give something back to the Irish community as well. We wanted to showcase data science, showcase Ireland as a place which is great for data science and since then I think we've really in the last five years really matured and really have become recognized as a leader in this industry. So it's great to be part of that conversation. Our goal was really to demystify data science for business practitioners but also have technical nuts and bolts type presentations for people who want to discuss the real technology challenges around data science. A lot of work has gone into predict and I have to really thank the CREM Global team who you'll see around the event who worked tirelessly to put this event together. As you can imagine these things take a lot of work but also our valued and esteemed partners who you can see on the screen. Without them this event would not be possible. So really appreciate the engagement and the support of these partners which we've had this year and a number of them have been with us throughout the years. So thank you so much to all of you. The major themes this year are of course AI and machine learning. It is the area of AI. AI is really starting to deliver on its promise and this first session will explore that in a lot of detail. We also have streams on health and life sciences, technology and society which will explore issues like sustainability and then some more business focused streams here at the last session here data science and business on the customer first session. So I think that'll be fascinating. So as well as all the great talks we have our experience zone. So I'd encourage you to engage with the partners. Most of them have brought experts with them and that will be on the stands you know to engage in robust conversation and debate around data science. You'll also find in the experience zone an art exhibition of code generated art which is absolutely amazing. I have no idea how they do it. You'll see it on screen here from time to time but you'll also see it in the exhibition experience zone. There's all day coffee in there, lunches will be in there and there's a drinks reception in the evening in the experience zone. So please do stay around. Speakers in particular please stay around. We've got a tight schedule. We might not have time for a lot of question and answer sessions so I'd love it if people could have a chat at the coffee breaks. That's what predict is all about. It's about conversations. So you can tweet into hash predict conf all day. We'll be monitoring that for questions. If there's time I might be able to ask a quick question at the end of each talk but as I said we're on a tight schedule. Perhaps the speakers can answer on Twitter and write a nice long what do you call it tweet storm or something in response to your question if we don't have time to discuss it but do color them at the break. They're more than happy to speak to you. Ask them at the break. Okay. Without further ado, first session of the morning. Big thinkers so very excited. The caliber of speakers and talks this year is surpassing anything I can remember in the five years of predict. I'm actually so excited about the session today. This first session and all of the different sessions.
