Semantic Technology & Business Conference (SemTechBiz UK)
brings together today's industry thought leaders and practitioners
to explore the challenges and opportunities impacting both
corporate business leaders and technologists.
Semantic Technology & Business Conference (SemTechBiz UK)
2012 will be held on 19-20 September at The Millennium
Gloucester Hotel, 4-18 Harrington Gardens, London SW7 4HL.
Whisk is a new service that will allow customers to convert
recipes automatically into shopping lists within online
supermarkets. In his opening keynote presentation, Holzherr will
explain from a business and functionality point of view what Whisk
offers to the user, the data it will analyse and how the company
will extract commercial value from this information. Co-Founder
Craig Edmunds will also be on hand
to take delegates through Whisk's exciting and ambitious road map
and plan to process a large amount of data at every
milestone.
This presentation serves as a unique opportunity to hear from
one of the UK's most inspirational and talented young entrepreneurs
as he demonstrates how semantic technology will be used to develop
and grow this new online venture.
"I am delighted to be the opening keynote at this year's
conference," Holzherr said. "Whisk uses semantic technology to
enable the transaction for every single recipe on the internet,
even if the service hasn't come across it before. I will explain
how Semantic technology gives us the adaptability this service
needs, whilst providing the user with the ultimate freedom to
explore the millions of recipes that the web has to offer."
The conference will feature innovative panels, roundtables,
plenaries, keynotes and lightning sessions, all expertly produced
to deliver tangible business value by helping to turn knowledge
into actionable results. All speakers are leaders in the field of
semantic technology with hands-on implementation experience and
broad industry knowledge.
Delegates will benefit from this unique opportunity to explore
how semantic solutions and linked data are being embraced
throughout companies across a diverse range of disciplines and
business categories.
