2018 ​Annual Conference

April 21, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Taiwanese American Industrial Technology Association (TAITA) is glad to announce its 2018 Annual Conference scheduled on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at Crown Plaza San Jose.

The theme of this year’s annual conference is ”Dawn of the AI Revolution – the Impact on Lifestyle and Business”. The recent development in big data, deep learning, and hardware accelerators enables many possibilities in artificial intelligence. Rather than passively taking instructions from human beings, machines can actively learn to improve themselves and find better solutions to real-world problems.

AI revolution not only disrupts the technology industry itself, but also has huge impacts on our lifestyle, workplace, business and economy. What are the latest AI innovations in both software and hardware development? What are the opportunities and challenges in applying AI in different industries? How do we identify and establish successful business models as AI revolutionizes today’s business world? We hope that 2018 TAITA annual conference can bring some insights to these questions for our community.

The afternoon program is free, though pre-registration is required. Complimentary lunch will start at 12:00pm. Tickets are required for you to attend the banquet dinner and evening keynote sessions. We sincerely thank you for taking time to learn more about TAITA Annual Conference. Registration is now open, and we look forward to seeing you at the conference.

To attend our annual conference, please reserve your ticket via Eventbrite.
