AI is no longer just a buzzword. It’s a force that’s reshaping industries right before our eyes.
This year’s Edge of Now (EON) event, taking place next week, will focus on “AI@Work” and highlight how applied AI is transforming major industries today. We’re not just talking about theories or distant possibilities; we’re showcasing real tools and breakthroughs making an impact right now.
As AI transitions from research and experiments to a vital part of the workforce, we’re seeing its practical influence everywhere, from increasing crop yields on farms to streamlining production lines with robotics. Now in its third year, EON brings together the thought leaders and technologists driving this transformation.
EON is designed for founders, corporate leaders, academics and investors who are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do. It's a place to learn, connect and spark collaborations that will shape the next wave of AI-driven advancements.
At EON, we believe the best way to explore the future of AI is in conversation with the people who are making it happen. This year’s speakers include:
Manuela Veloso, Head of AI Research at JPMorganChase and Professor at Carnegie Mellon, will kick off EON with a keynote about AI applications in financial services.
Brad Porter, CEO of Cobot and former head of Amazon Robotics, will dive into scaling robotic intelligence for real-world applications.
Rodney Brooks, renowned roboticist and founder of Robust.AI, will close the event with lessons on building successful robotic businesses in a rapidly evolving market.
Doug Fidaleo, from Walt Disney Imagineering, will share insights into how AI is reshaping the theme parks, media and content, with an exclusive robotics demo.
Krisztina “Z” Holly interviews Scott Komar, SVP of Global R&D at Driscoll’s, in a fireside chat about AI’s role in agriculture, from precision farming to predicting harvests.
These sessions will go beyond hype. They’ll offer insights into how AI is already solving today’s toughest challenges, whether in robotics, finance or agriculture. That’s why we founded EON, to focus on the real-world applications in business and to foster discussions on how companies can apply AI to solve challenges.
We’re looking forward to the thought-provoking conversations and collaborations that will emerge from EON 2024. With this year’s stellar lineup of speakers, one thing is clear: the future of AI isn't just around the corner, it’s here and it’s transforming the way we work.
