Come learn, gain hands-on experience, discover and network with experts. Join us for an insightful and practical hands-on workshop with innovative ML and DL tools. Engage in illuminating series of tech talks on ways you can plan for the transformative power of AI. Whether you are at the inception of your AI journey or building new AI applications, or in-charge of driving the infrastructure strategies and standards upon which the future will reside, this event will be beneficial to you.

Discover new ways to up your game, including:
• Engage in an in-depth demonstration of AI machine learning tools. Review multiple use cases
• Label raw data sets, train, and deploy DL vision models, without coding or deep learning expertise with PowerAI Vision, an enterprise-grade software
• Train your own computer vision model based on a video and then, using Python in a Jupyter Notebook, learn to perform analytics
• Deploy a model to perform inferencing on an edge device
• Employ the techniques of expert data scientist in an easy-to-use app -- H20 Driverless AI
• Recognize the value of a solid infrastructure as the foundation of your AI journey
