Who should attend (and who shouldn't)

Pitched at ML engineers, research engineers, AI researchers and technical leaders, this single day at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco on November 5 offers 20 sessions on multimodal data, world models and AI infrastructure. Tickets are $125 to $200, both priced only through October 9, which is also the registration deadline. Not the place for an independent perspective, because the organizer, LanceDB Inc., is a company and a Lance pipeline talk is on the list.

The organizer names: AI researchers, research engineers, ML engineers, technical leaders.
