AI Conference 2024 - San Francisco

The AI Conference 2024 aims to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and harness innovation within the AI community. 

San Francisco is always a viable city with diverse populations and global tourists all year round. It’s a metropolitan city mixed with art and science. August was quiet without lots of professional events I was interested in. Things started picking up this September. There are some quality professional events worthy of participating, and many retailers are busy in the city center areas. 

Walking along the ocean piers, the weather was warm and windy at the same time. The blue ocean looks calm and cool, with waves up and down gently in the breeze. I went to Pier 27 to participate in the AI Conference 2024. The staff in the facilitation organization were very friendly, inviting me to participate in both keynote presentations and exhibition sections.

It was a premier event focused on the latest advancements, trends, and applications in artificial intelligence. It brought together industry leaders, researchers, and IT enthusiasts to explore the transformative impact of AI across various industry sectors.

AI Exhibition: In the conference hall, there were quite a few booths that exhibited different kinds of AI solutions, Most of them were local startups that built AI middleware to enhance the next level of AI development and maturity.

The AI Conference 2024 aims to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and harness innovation within the AI community.
