One-day conference on artificial intelligence for economic actors in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, held at the Centre de Congres Georges Pernoud in La Rochelle on June 3 2026, organised by La Rochelle Universite.
IA-NA (Intelligence Artificielle Nouvelle-Aquitaine) is an annual conference connecting economic actors, technical practitioners, and researchers from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region around the practical application of AI in business contexts. Organised by La Rochelle Universite, the event bridges the academic and private sectors with a focus on deployable, real-world AI applications rather than foundational research.
The programme addresses AI across the full range of practical business applications: predictive models for operations and demand, decision support systems, intelligent process automation, generative AI use cases, and early-stage agentic AI deployments adapted to SME and mid-market realities. The CFP closed in March 2026; speaker selection is complete.
IA-NA stands for Intelligence Artificielle Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The event is specifically positioned as a regional bridge between the academic research community of La Rochelle Universite and the business ecosystem of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
