Alongside the content, networking provides opportunities to meet potential partners, innovators and fellow practitioners working on industry-ready AI. Who should attend? This summit is particularly relevant to AI and machine-learning engineers, software engineers, technical architects, model operations and infrastructure teams, product builders, AI leaders and senior executives responsible for enterprise adoption. The material is geared towards practitioners and decision-makers with an active interest in building, deploying or scaling AI systems, rather than a general introductory audience.
