The number of new Edge-AI hardware and software startups continues to surprise me, and the AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit is the place to go to learn more about them. 

This event brought very insightful minds from hardware and orchestration of LLMs.

“The human connection is key to really high bandwidth discussions and building trust and connections so it’s been a lot of fun.” 

Attending this year's summit was a truly enriching experience for me. It provided a valuable platform to exchange ideas, learn from pioneering researchers, and stay at the forefront of AI/ML/Edge advancements. The diversity and caliber of speakers on the agenda were truly exceptional, allowing me to immerse myself in the latest developments in AI, ML, and Edge computing. 

"I think the benefit of attending this event is the networking possibilities. Just walking down the hall and seeing people I haven't seen in a long time, new partners, new vendors, suppliers that I would have to spend a bunch of time scheduling individually. It's nice to just see the kind of diversity of different kinds of companies that are showing up here.” 

I was pleased to get a realistic view of the persistent memory market to help adjust our strategy for addressing fabric attached memory. I also valued the applications viewpoints and how they are dealing with the memory wall and new technologies to move beyond this wall. Finally, I enjoyed the connections to many of our current and potential suppliers in one focused event. 

The AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit is a growing community of leaders across the AI ecosystem that provide great insights, sounding boards, business opportunities and a community around the common goal of responsible AI development.

Lived up to its name — Efficient Generative AI.  It broke through the hype to deliver actionable insights for enterprise AI users.  Great speakers, panels, and met some new contacts.  

Was impressed with the very high quality of attendees and presentations that were focused on memory solutions for data center infrastructure, including technologies such as CXL and HBM.

I will absolutely recommend to my colleagues to attend in the coming years. I had lot of questions on the application and deployment of AI before I came, now they were all answered. There were many great speakers and many of the presentations offered very insightful information that I can take back to my work. 

“The conference is a great place to meet with potential customers, see what’s going on in the industry and learn some things on what’s new.” 

“It served as an excellent platform for industry peers passionate about the future of AI to connect, exchange ideas, and engage in a collaborative brainstorming experience.”

The best part of this event is that you have all the AI hardware companies there and their potential customers are giving presentations on what their requirements are and what they see happening for AI use cases in the next 5 years. Senior Principal NPU Architect, SAPEON

“AI HW Summit and Edge AI Summit are great events for getting connected to industrial partners, catching up what are the latest news about AI applications and what are the challenges and future directions that the industries are facing! I should not forget to mention that the food and drinks are the best ever of all the conferences I have attended.” 

AI Infra really captures that end-to-end theme of what we see in the broader industry. Clearly there's a lot of overlap in what is being done at the silicon layer, at the semiconductor layer, at the data center layer, and then obviously the applications on top of that."

“The summit brings the best crowd and the most diverse crowd of people interested in working in AI hardware and we wanted to have a presence here to connect with them.” 

AI continues to accelerate at an increasing rate. This event is an excellent, time-efficient way to come up to speed on a broad spectrum of hardware (and software) advances for the edge (and more). 

“I was really excited to participate in the summit this year, mainly because it was bringing together both the Edge Summit and AI Hardware Summit, so I saw a number of the speakers and panellists that were brought together. It really talked through a number of different disciplines of AI.” 

"It's different suppliers working with the consumers that are integrating systems, but it's also a lot of collaboration in the industry on standardization and learning from each other because a lot of this stuff is non differentiated and we need to drive the industry to standardization because that's going to improve everybody's efficiency."

Balanced and expansive overview of the current state of language modeling in enterprises.

This was an insightful conference that provided a good overview of developments in specialist AI processor hardware and its applications. There was a great balance of expert analysis, technical information, and practical examples of AI implementation. 

This is the right place to come and launch and talk about the future. 

Excellent event with diverse presenters on both training and inference. Many companies represented in the HW design and deployment as well discussions and solutions for LLM, and deep learning. Networking and interactions were great and it was good to catch up with friends in the industry. Very exciting times and progress made in the last few years. I recommend it.

The event brings a unique scope which is Edge AI from HW and SW perspective showing how convergence between HW and SW is key for scalable AI. The event also shows a holistic scope successful deployment of scalable AI from HW perspective (Chips for AI, connectivity for AI, infrastructure for AI, and AI for Chips) and from SW perspective (models optimization, open models, models compression, SW frameworks for AI, SDKs for models optimization). 

This is the one event that brings everybody together and the discussions help everyone get a lot more educated. 

The conference nailed it by bringing together the innovators and users in this fast-moving trend for hardware creation and user experience.
