Personally I would welcome anyone to join us - if you have no experience but interest and curiosity about AI, its applications, the underlying methods and techniques, and the people that make it all possible please come along. Have you started a new AI or Data Science or Computer Science MSc in one of the Midlands Universities - this event is for you! Are you an undergraduate student looking to meet people outside your campus bubble - you are more than welcome to join! Has COVID19 led you to consider different career options - attending a series of events like this one can easily demonstrate to employers or further education bodies your passion for technology. Have you been coming to previous events and you simply missed us - likewise - it would be really nice to see you again! See you there!
