2023 will be held in Leuven, Belgium. Leuven is the capital of the
province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25
kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest
municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to
the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of
the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in
existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the
largest hospitals of Europe. The city is also known for being the
headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and one
of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world.</font></div><div><font face="Times"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times">Leuven's
Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and
Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to
build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only
added to the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total.
On the bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and
historical figures, dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is
reserved for the patron saints of the various parishes of Leuven. Above
them the façade is adorned by the counts and dukes of Brabant while the
towers primarily feature biblical figures.</font></div><div><font face="Times"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times">ANT 2023 will be held in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Emerging Data and Industry (EDI40).</font></div><div><font face="Times"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b>Conference Tracks</b></font></div><div><font face="Times"> -
