The Ai4 conference, a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence, recently announced the success of its Ai4 2023 event. With over 2,500 attendees from around the world, it was the largest gathering in the country for AI-focused business. The event took place from August 7-9, 2023, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and featured keynote speakers like Che Cheng from OpenAI, Sal Khan of Khan Academy, and JoAnn Stonier of Mastercard. Session recordings can be found here.
“We were thrilled with the turnout for our Ai4 2023 event,” said Michael Weiss, Co-Founder, Ai4. “This 2023 event clearly established Ai4 as industry’s leading AI conference and provided our community with an unrivaled opportunity to learn about the latest advances in AI, network with other professionals in the field, and get hands-on experience with AI technologies.”
Marcus Jecklin, Co-founder of Ai4 said, “It’s amazing. Ai4 began in 2018 at a small boutique hotel in Brooklyn, NY with 300 attendees. Now, five years later, we’ve built the world’s leading artificial intelligence conference with over 2500 attendees, 100 sponsors, and 250 speakers. We’re now certainly the largest gathering to unite both business and technical leaders of AI. What’s even crazier is that we’re still growing by over 100% each year. Ai4 2023 was over twice the size of Ai4 2022, and we expect to nearly double in size again next year for Ai4 2024 with 4500 expected attendees. We’re prepared for that growth. We’ve expanded our floor plan next year to include over 200,000 square feet of activated space, which is roughly twice what we had this past year. We’ve also expanded and enhanced our content sessions and networking experiences for next year too. If you loved Ai4 2023, you’re going to be blown away by Ai4 2024.”
Sponsors for the 2023 event include Deloitte, AWS, Avanade, Brave, Capital One, EY, H2O.ai, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, UiPath, Dropbox, EXL, the Central Intelligence Agency, Wolfram, Dataiku, Aible, dotData, Pryon, Techolution, and other AI vendors.
The conference was professionally orchestrated. We had an excellent experience! I loved working with the Ai4 team. Thanks for making this an easy and rewarding experience for us!”
