OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Venture Bites: Leveraging AI to scale
Join us for the next session in our Venture Bites online series, hosted by the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre.
In todays fast moving AI application market there are a myriad of options available to startups and small businesses which can be used when scaling functions like finance, analytics, HR, IT and more.
But its not a silver bullet and ensuring the company has the right foundation and approach is critical to be successful. In this session we will spend some time talking through the successes and failures in scaling and the current approach & tools being used across the DVx portfolio in tackling this challenge.
