Vilnius, Lithuania, August 8, 2024 — The pivotal annually hosted conference of the public web data gathering industry has announced its complete list of speakers and presentations.
Large-scale public web data has never been more important than it is now in the age of accelerating AI development. OxyCon 2024 invites everyone interested in this development and the data that fuels it to explore it through a day full of topical presentations. Set to take place online on September 25 and organized by Oxylabs, a leading solutions provider for public web data collection, the conference will bring together industry experts, legal professionals, and thought leaders to explore the latest trends and advancements in web scraping.
“Over the years, OxyCon has become a staple of the web scraping industry. Here, everyone interested in the power of public web data can be inspired by the experiences and ideas of their peers. We are happy to have once again filled the program with fresh perspectives on innovation, regulation, and optimization of web data gathering,” said Julius Černiauskas, CEO at Oxylabs.
The agenda reflects three focus areas of the conference. Under the theme of “Optimizing Web Data Extraction Operations,” OxyCon will feature a diverse lineup of speakers who will delve into the most consequential aspects of web scraping optimization. Among them, Oxylabs’ CTO Žydrūnas Tamašauskas will deliver a presentation on the crucial role of scalability in public web data-gathering operations. Additionally, Nerijus Šveistys, Senior Legal Counsel at Oxylabs, will shed light on the legal questions surrounding AI and large-scale data collection in his talk titled “Legal Compliance in the Age of AI.”
“Lawmaking to regulate AI development is in its heyday, inevitably affecting web scraping as a crucial data source for training commercial AI models. Even before, public web data collection was already in an intense period of legal maturation as an industry. Thus, it is crucial for stakeholders in these industries and affected sectors to use opportunities like OxyCon to discuss the rapid regulatory developments that will have far-reaching implications,” said Šveistys.
AI will likely also come up in the panel discussion on advanced unblocking strategies hosted by Oxylabs’ COO Juras Juršėnas and featuring experts from renowned brands Ceartas, Data Impact, and Lighthouse Intelligence. Under the same category heading Mastering AI & Advanced Web Scraping Techniques, conference attendees will learn from Tadas Gedgaudas of Oxylabs about the fascinating world of mouse movement algorithms and their application in web scraping.
In the segment “Fueling Business with Public Web Data,” OxyCon will focus on the business applications and impact of web data. Paul Felby, CEO of Adthena, will share his expertise on “Harnessing Gen-AI for Data-Driven Answers.” Meanwhile, Vilius Visockas, CEO at CityNow, will present a human-centered approach to data gathering.
