Artificial intelligence as a congress experience at ECR. This year's Radiology Congress not only focused on AI when it came to content. Co-hosted by robot Ameca and featuring plenty of other surprising highlights, the ECR set a new benchmark for the congress experience of tomorrow for its 19,000 visitors.
ECR 2024 shaped by AI
Opening Ceremony with S.H.O.C.K
A capacity crowd in Hall A, and a supposed technical failure. Or was it part of the show after all? Robot Ameca took to the stage to welcome the participants. Together with Congress President Carlo Catalano, the instantly-likeable robot hosted the evening’s proceedings. Zucaroh, Austrian acrobatics & dance show group (2018 America’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer Winners), delivered a jaw-dropping show.
A real eye-catcher in Hall X5 – surprising video installation
The outside wall of Hall X5 – opposite Entrance 1 – featured a giant robot head. With moving eyes that looked like they were watching participants, it turned out to be a popular selfie spot. Meanwhile, compelling content was cast in the starring role in the AI Theatre, which served as a hub for machine learning and big data in Hall X1.
Sustainable organisation
ECR 2024 was certified as a Green Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Umweltzeichen ecolabel. From regional catering to event technology, and from LED lighting and green electricity in our building, right through to procurement, material and waste management, this event had all the sustainability angles covered.
AI supporting radiology
From diagnosis to data analysis, prediction of bone fractures or lung cancer. This year’s programme focused on interoperability and semantic standards for artificial intelligence in clinical workflows.
