It was held at Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, PA.
Business and innovation leaders applying AI were the intended attendees.
It was most useful for business and innovation leaders deciding how to apply AI in practice, since the program was billed as covering what works and what does not, how success is measured and how solutions scale, with speakers scheduled from Lovable, Guru, Greenhouse and Buffalo Construction. Researchers wanting technical AI depth or attendees wanting a large expo would have gotten less from a one-day event at the Barnes Foundation.
Attendees at startup and innovation events usually wear smart casual, such as blazers or nice jeans, and Philadelphia in October suits a light jacket.
