What is the best AI conference for a tech leader to attend?

[gHeadphone]

I am seeing a bunch of conferences come up all over the place. Some are from reputable events companies, and many, I’ve never heard of before.

What are some good recommendations for AI conferences, covering the latest developments, and strategic insights for tech leaders (as opposed to academic conferences for example)?

I've collated a list of AI conferences happening during Jan-Jun 2024 across the globe. Hope this is helpful: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15jyJP1TbuWenzBD0OahZ...

Top academic conferences [1] will have plenty of high level discussions. Top minds in the field and people developing next gen tech will be there. Other conferences will have a higher ratio of BS artists and people pitching their AI startups.

Nvidia GTC and OpenAI DevDay are also good.

[1] NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, AAAI.

Just spend some time in SF. There are so many people working/playing with AI. Also not too hard to bump into people who do top notch research at a lab.
