MONTRÉAL, Sept. 10,
2024 /CNW/ - Media representatives are invited
to attend ALL IN, the country's most important gathering dedicated
to Canadian artificial intelligence (AI). This event is held at the
Palais des congrès de Montréal from September 11 to 12, as well as virtually.
ALL IN 2024 will focus on showcasing how Canada is building an AI-powered economy,
driven by the collective efforts of the AI community—from those who
imagine and define AI to those who build and adopt it.
As the Country of Honor, France
will showcase an inspiring ecosystem of AI startups and
well-established companies like Alstom, Thales, L'Oréal and
OVHcloud that are already using AI in their daily operations—some
of which are currently working with Canadian AI service and product
providers.
The full program and the list of the 200 speakers are available
here.
