Join Our Community!
IntelliFest is a multi-track, technical conference where software and IT developers and their managers can meet to learn about, to discuss, and to practice the state-of-the-art in reasoning technologies as they apply to creating intelligent products and services.
Much more than just a conference, IntelliFest is a Community of Practice centered on applied AI. IntelliFest is also a portal for transferring technical knowledge about implementing AI from developer to developer, from academic researcher to industrial practitioner, and vice versa.
Our community joins the two halves of the innovation equation: the business people who set the strategic visions and the developers who are tasked with making them a reality.
We support the inventors and researchers of new AI technology. We support the innovators of new products and services that use AI. And most importantly, we support the AI developers, engineers, programmers, and architects who are tasked with implementing those products and services.
