AI Hardware Summit Europe launches in Munich, Germany on 10-11 March 2020, the ecosystem event for AI hardware acceleration in Europe
Following three successful events, including two sell-out shows in the US, the AI Hardware Summit is coming to Munich, Germany. The AI Hardware Summit series has previously included luminary keynotes from Dr. John L. Hennessey, Chairman of Alphabet, Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Cadence Systems and Naveen Rao, CVP & GM of Intel’s AIPG.
March’s event will feature an opening keynote from Olivier Temam, Hardware Engineer at DeepMind tasked with building DeepMind’s hardware infrastructure for Artificial General Intelligence, titled ‘Past Chip Childhood and System Teenage: Why We Need to Build a Mature Ecosystem.’
Given Europe’s strength in automation across industrial, robotics and autonomous vehicles manufacturing, this summit will focus on inference systems in edge computing, connecting these industries through common challenges in systems architecture/engineering.
Between 200-250 attendees are expected to attend, with topics focusing on deploying machine learning at the edge, whole stack optimisation of AI, and the design of autonomous systems.
Key speakers include:
- Olivier Temam – Hardware Engineer, DeepMind
