AI & The Amazon Dash Cart

Let's get together, eat pizza, and hear from local companies and experts in the field. This week we will hear from Sean (Xiang) Ma who is head of research at Amazon Dash Carts.

Parking: Parking is street parking or garage. There are a lot of meters nearby.

(Please do not park in Draper employee parking.)
