The Terricon Valley Hub Conference 2025 brings together global and regional leaders, researchers, and innovators to explore how artificial intelligence, digital twins, and collaborative ecosystems are transforming the way we create, build, and think.

As technology evolves faster than ever, the boundary between human ingenuity and machine intelligence continues to blur. This one-day online event will focus on how AI can enhance human creativity rather than replace it, enabling smarter design, deeper insight, and more adaptive innovation models across industries.

Participants will gain perspectives from experts representing global corporations, AI research labs, and emerging startups, sharing real-world use cases and frameworks that turn AI from a tool into a creative partner.

PROGRAMME

  • 15:45 – 16:00
    Virtual Lobby Opens
    Participants join the online platform, test connections, explore networking rooms, and visit virtual partner booths.
  • 16:00 – 16:15
    Opening Remarks
    Speaker: Alissa
    Topic: Building Bridges Between Creativity and Intelligence
    Focus: Setting the stage for a day focused on human–AI collaboration and technological resilience.
  • 16:15 – 16:45
    Keynote 1
    Speaker: Maria Piterberg, SW AI Team Leader at Intel Corporation
    Title: How AI Can Augment Human Creativity, Not Replace It
    Focus: Practical frameworks for integrating generative AI into the engineering lifecycle — from ideation to deployment.
  • 16:45 – 17:15
    Keynote 2
    Speaker: Stanislav Don, Data Scientist at eBay Deutschland
    Title: Collaborative Intelligence: Designing Systems Where Humans and AI Co-create
    Focus: Why AI agents rarely replace humans entirely but can amplify their performance. A framework for integrating GenAI in data science workflows — from hypothesis and data exploration to modeling, interpretation, and monitoring.
  • 17:15 – 17:45
    Keynote 3
    Speaker: Andrey Chubin, Lead Data Scientist at Quantum One
    Title: Deep Learning Recommenders in Action: The Two-Tower Embeddings Approach for Food Delivery Applications
    Focus: Building a two-tower deep learning recommender for food delivery — inspired by Uber’s architecture. One tower encodes user embeddings from historical and contextual data, while the other uses TinyBERT for restaurant embeddings, ensuring relevance and personalization.
