You’ll find a full list of session topics here. |
| EXHIBITORS & SPONSORS |
| You’ll find 50+ top-notch exhibitors and sponsors at the Summit who are creating cutting-edge building-block technologies that are accelerating the future of AI and computer vision.They’ll be providing opportunities for you to see the latest commercially-available processors, algorithms, libraries, development tools and services enabling vision and edge AI capabilities, helping you find the capabilities you’re looking for to gain a competitive edge. You can visit their kiosks and connect with their experts for 1:1 meetings right on the event platform.
From AMD to Xilinx, you can see the full list in the Exhibitor Directory. |
| TECHNOLOGY DEMOS |
 Last year, our attendees raved about the demos and mentioned that they were a quick, easy way to meet top building-block technology suppliers and evaluate their latest processors, algorithms, software, sensors, development tools and services to find the right fit for their product.
There will be 60+ demos, and each one will be a 5-7 minute presentation followed by live Q&A with the company’s specialists, allowing you to see up to four demos in one hour! Demos are now part of the program schedule, so you don’t have to choose between a session and seeing demos. They will be available each day of the event at different times. Plus, you can schedule 1:1 meetings directly with supplier representatives at times that work for you. Visit the Demo Directory to see both sample demos and a list of who will be demoing what—and when! |
| NETWORKING AT THE EVENT |
| The Summit is a golden opportunity to make important connections. That’s why, even in a virtual world, we’ve made it easy to directly access over 1,200 highly-qualified tech experts, suppliers, partners, customers and other attendees working with computer vision and edge AI.
This year, we have a new AI-enabled event platform that will give you the control to meet those contacts you’ve been trying to reach. With it, you’ll be able to:
