Invitation to TransformX - Scale AI's Machine Learning Conference




Scale AI is a leading company in the space of machine learning data annotation and tooling. Every year Scale organizes a Machine Learning conference which is attended by well known figures in ML space e.g. Andrew Ng, Fei-Fei Li, Sam Altman etc. The talks are focused on ML best practices, state of the art breakthroughs and systems in production at leading companies e.g. Deepmind, OpenAI, Google. You can get a summary of last year's conference here. 


This year's conference will be a mix of in person and virtual sessions and virtual participation is FREE. This is a great opportunity for students focusing on Machine Learning to network with and listen to industry leaders. It would be great if you could share this with your student body. We usually have a lot of student researchers participating but historically Canadian universities have been underrepresented, so we would love to see more students participating from UW. Register to participate here.
  

This year's speaker lineup includes:
→ 
Greg Brockman - President, Chairman and Founder at OpenAI
→ 
Eric Schmidt - Co-Founder Schmidt Futures, Former CEO at Google
→ 
Bradley Horowitz - Vice President & Advisor at Google
