The digital transformation driven by artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives. The fields of application are diverse, ranging from self driving cars and smart assistants to social media moderation and video games. Artificial intelligence is now omnipresent.

As diverse as the field itself are the people involved in it. However, many previous AI conferences focus mainly on participants from established institutions and offer limited space for young people or independent researchers and their ideas.

At Breda University of Applied Sciences in Breda, the Netherlands, we are organising the fourth on site edition of YTIC 2026 (Young Talents International Conference 2026). We welcome participants with a wide range of experience, including senior and junior experimenters, students, and other data and AI enthusiasts.

YTIC 2026 not only offers an excellent platform to share research and related work, but also provides insightful talks on AI-related topics. In addition, the conference encourages the exchange of experiences and networking through workshops and social activities.
