Hi there,
We’re almost there. AI experts and enthusiasts from around the world will be in Edmonton for Upper Bound, May 21 - 24.
I’m excited to have them — and you — join us here for the conference. That's what I look forward to the most for Upper Bound, the strong feeling of community, bringing together people in the AI world who might never meet otherwise.
It really is a rare conference that brings together people in AI from academia, startups, venture capital, government, business and more. To have all of those people in the same place discussing AI is an exciting time. The "in-between" sessions are maybe the most exciting where a collision of ideas and discussions takes place.
This year, we have speakers from some of the most innovative and influential organizations in artificial intelligence. Folks like Barret Newman & Diego Magalhaes from AWS, Deepmind’s Doina Precup, NVIDIA Senior Solutions Architect James Sutton and Amii alumni Jack Newton, who has built an incredible company in Clio.
That's just a few of them. You can check out the rest of our speakers on the Upper Bound website.
I’m also curating an entire theme dedicated to the Business of AI, where you can learn from industry leaders how artificial intelligence can help businesses grow, manage risks and build high-performing teams. Our Executive AI Summit has been a great lead up to that, helping business innovators learn the foundations of machine learning. Bringing together business leaders to do deep dives into specific topic areas to start each day is very exciting!
Time is running out to get your Upper Bound passes and join in on a great week with the people shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Don’t miss out.
PS: And feel free to bring some friends along. Check out our group rate discounts.
There's a lot going on at this year's conference that explores the potential of artificial intelligence in every sector. Of the many themes we're exploring this year is AI & Startups, which included these amazing sessions:
And we've got even more planned. Buy your pass now for access to sessions on Applied AI, AI in Agriculture, Blue Sky Research, AI in Energy & Environment, Generative AI and more!
