Berkeley AI Summit

Website: berkeleyaisummit.com

At Berkeley, our vision is to bring together diverse perspectives on AI from academia and industry to bridge the gap between technical study and global reality. We want to break past clichés and daunting learning curves to enable future leaders to think about AI in a more comprehensive, nuanced, and thoughtful way.

We also intend for this to be a useful networking platform for interaction between students and professionals. This event will consist of multiple speakers with diverse backgrounds in AI/ML as well as opportunities for attendees to speak with representatives from AI-based companies from startups to major tech firms.

Lunch is included and there will be a networking hour with refreshments at the conclusion of the event.
