Why Attend
Data has gravity.
It is well known that the network edge, in the Internet of Things, is where the critical mass of digital data resides, and where it is collected. Scalability bottlenecks to ubiquitous AI, such as power consumption, bandwidth, latency, connectivity and security have led to recent innovations in on-device processing and edge infrastructure such as micro-data centers and distributed computing architecture.
The Edge Computing market will reach $34 billion by 2023, growing at 35% annually, unleashing a wave of services and applications at the network edge that can be optimized with artificial intelligence. As a recent explosion in hardware innovation provides the necessary compute to migrate diverse AI workloads to the Edge, a new generation of edge-native and edge-enhanced software applications is emerging.
The Edge AI Summit will bring together 200+ key thought-leaders and industrial practitioners to discuss the challenges and opportunities of decentralized, distributed intelligence. Join us to examine use cases of edge-based artificial intelligence applications and explore this new computing paradigm that promises to accelerate and democratize AI adoption across the globe.
This event is intended for Senior Director/VP-level attendees and above, and is a high-level networking and business development meeting, with content tracks focusing on both business and technology.
