A diverse range of topics was covered in the 60 group posters, each involving rigorous data analysis, advanced visualization using ggplot, and modeling with various algorithms—from simple regressions to complex machine learning techniques. These projects not only demonstrated the students' technical skills but also their ability to derive meaningful business insights, a core focus of teaching.

The sessions provided an excellent opportunity for students to engage in constructive dialogues, offering and receiving feedback from their peers as well as from esteemed guests from the industry. Special thanks were extended to industry professionals including Calina Schanze, Jean-Thomas Meyer, and Tor Christensen from Ørsted; Mads Buhl from Backstage ApS; Susan Novotni Døj from FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies; and Slobodan Kacanski, an Associate Professor at Roskilde University.

Their participation brought practical industry perspectives right into the classroom, greatly enriching the learning experience. The event also highlighted the collaborative spirit among the faculty, with special acknowledgments to the Associate professor Giulio Zichella, External Lecturers Franz Buchmann and Nathan Heintz, and instructors Trine Dahl Pedersen, and Marla Cruz Yedra. Their dedication and enthusiasm for teaching were key in making the poster sessions a rewarding experience for both students and guests.

Reflecting on the event, Professors Jovanovic and Frandsen noted impressive competencies demonstrated after just two months of Business Analytics training. The poster sessions not only provided a platform for showcasing student projects but also underscored the innovative approach to teaching blending theoretical knowledge with practical industry insights.
