This last year has been challenging for us all. The world ground to a halt, making social contact little more than a daydream. But as society reopens, everything from sports events to business conferences are back on the agenda.
And as you well know, the world of AI never sleeps. Meaning we all have a reason to attend at least one AI event in the upcoming months, so give this list a read to find what catches your eye.
And rest assured: if you’d rather avoid the crowds, many take place online, giving everyone a way to get back up to speed with the latest goings-on.
