It was one of best organized, no nonsense, engaging and well orchestrated conferences I attended. The speaker lineup, conference expo and sessions were top notch, highly recommended and will be attending next year. 

This is a single event that attracts all the top thought leaders and practitioners who contribute to the advancement of AI related technologies. From an EDA perspective we get to hear the challenges of building software to optimize the HW architectures and from the HW the challenges of building designs that are fast, compact, and thrifty with power. There are many compelling AI innovations being discussed and they are all connected.

"I think this event is gaining in traction for sure. I saw from two years ago, 800 participants. This year, 1,200. I think it's a major event and for me it's really a nice conference to be at one place and meet so many in the sector."

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 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). 

“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.” 

“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.” 

This event has quickly emerged as THE conference for all things fast and efficient for processing deep neural networks. The content is a nice blend of technology, solutions, and company strategies. 

“The AI Hardware Summit is a great venue to attend in the future if you are interested in becoming part of a thriving and growing community where you can come and make connections and have a great venue to get your message out.” 

Attending the AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit 2024 was a transformative experience. The cutting-edge insights and innovative solutions presented have truly broadened my understanding of AI's potential. The networking opportunities were unparalleled, connecting me with industry leaders and pioneers. This summit is an essential event for anyone serious about staying at the forefront of AI technology.

This was a fantastic event that brought together a variety of perspectives on AI/ML from applications to infrastructure, but geared towards the hardware community. I found it highly informative and very relevant.

Excellent opportunity to meet and talk to a wide range of potential customers. 

Attending the AI Hardware and edge AI Conference was an eye-opening experience that exceeded my expectations. It seamlessly blended technology with environmental concern.

The conference showcased the intersection of technology, environmental concern, and human connections. I'm inspired to make a positive impact in AI while prioritizing sustainability. Looking forward to future editions! Architect, lululemon

"This conference is very relevant when we talk about hardware innovations and hardware growth, and also edge, but you cannot like complete the story if you don't have the inferences on the software development side and also the enterprise application. I think next year it's going to tie up really nicely, bringing all the topics together into one place and having a full circle learning experience."

The Enterprise Generative AI Summit West Coast 2024 was an incredible experience! The range of topics covered was extensive, from advancements in generative AI to compliance, reducing hallucination, model architectural choices, security, governance, and ethical AI considerations. The keynote speeches were inspiring. I highly recommend these events to anyone interested in the genAI field.

Rich presentations, great discussions, smooth event execution, and some of the most valuable networking opportunities I've had all year!

“I would say to a company thinking of coming in the future, it’s a great idea. It has a really fantastic combination of technical detail and content with opportunities to network and to meet very interesting customers.”
