NMDSI Fall Showcase 2023 Poster Session Application |
1. Introduction
The Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute (NMDSI) is hosting our 2023 Fall Showcase, on Wednesday, November 15. The event will take place on our Milwaukee campus (Commons Assembly). Event details and tickets are available at the Eventbrite registration page.
The event will end with a poster session highlighting AI/data science expertise from Marquette University and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as well as Northwestern Mutual employees, who will create and share posters to showcase their research projects. Participants will present to attendees and should be willing to answer questions and discuss their work.
