Teams and companies also need to make purchasing and build vs buy decisions. The Virtual AI Expo hall at ODSC APAC 2021 is where you can learn about the latest products and features from leading providers Qubole, Microsoft Azure, neo4j, Red Hat, and many more. Hear directly from the providers and attend our demo theater sessions for more in-depth presentations. Return to work armed with insights to make build vs buy and purchasing decisions.

Reason # 5 — The Latest Trends and Topics

Transformers, deep generative learning, and decision analytics were some of the breakout topics of 2021. Our sessions cover many of these key topics as well as topics such as federated learning, responsible AI, causal learning, machine learning at scale, and much more. You’ll return to work well-versed in the latest data science topics to help keep your team ahead of the rest.

Reason # 4 — The Connections

Like many fields, data science is a community. The collaborative effort that goes into building open source platforms and the sharing of ideas is a large part of that. Exchanging insights and connecting with people who have a shared passion is always rewarding. Companies are also embracing this collaborative trend. At ODSC APAC, you’ll make connections through our networking opportunities that will put you in touch with a diverse group of data scientists from many different countries. Return to work with a stronger network of potential partners and collaborators that can help you and your company grow.
