Between The Clouds (3rd Edition)☁️Hosting AI models in the cloud

At our events we meet each other. Each time around a different topic to learn, with an interesting expert on stage (or behind her computer) and with an inclusive networking moment so everyone meets some new people. We value a connecting and fun atmosphere with our plants, snacks and big smiles!
