About the Course
The AI Conference 2025 emerges as Silicon Valley's most influential vendor-neutral AI gathering, created by the visionary team behind MLconf and program chair Ben Lorica, former head of The O'Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference. This two-day intensive event serves as the melting pot of AI innovation where engineers, researchers, and entrepreneurs converge to tackle the most pressing challenges in artificial intelligence development. Unlike commercial conferences, this event prioritizes technical depth and code-level collaboration, featuring sessions that span from foundational research to practical implementation across AGI development, Large Language Models, Generative AI, neural architectures, AI infrastructure, and ethical alignment. The conference attracts the brightest minds in AI, from founding pioneers of the field to emerging technical luminaries, creating an ecosystem of knowledge sharing that drives breakthrough innovations. Attendees gain exclusive access to early-stage research findings, participate in hands-on technical workshops, and engage in deep-dive sessions covering the nuances of model architecture, training optimization, and deployment strategies. The highly competitive Startup Showdown, judged by industry leaders from Menlo Ventures and Theory Ventures, provides a platform for innovative founders to showcase their cutting-edge solutions and connect with top-tier investors. Technical tracks explore practical applications across industries while maintaining focus on the engineering challenges and solutions that define AI's current limitations and future possibilities. The conference's commitment to vendor neutrality ensures unbiased perspectives on AI development, fostering honest discussions about what works, what doesn't, and what's needed to advance the field. With complete access to all tracks, expert sessions, and networking opportunities, attendees leave equipped with actionable insights and valuable connections that accelerate their AI initiatives.
