But you don’t have to take our word for it; we asked some of our AI Accelerator Summit attendees in San Jose what they thought of the event.

In this article, you’ll find out what four of them had to say:

- **David Escandon**, Senior Field Sales Engineer, Intel
- **Zhimin Ding**, Architect, AI Hardware, Stealth Autonomous Driving Startup
- **Chiuman Ho**, Senior Director of AI, OPPO
- **Wolfgang Furtner**, Engineer System Architect, Infineon Technologies

## **How did you find the event?**

I think it was wonderful. I found the speakers brought in some ideas that I hadn't necessarily heard of. I mean, we heard things not just on the software side, but also on the hardware side that are used in the ML space. So, for me, it's very interesting, because these are trends that may be of interest to me.

## **How did you find the event?**

It’s for anybody who's interested in artificial intelligence, whether as a user or as a contributor of this technology. This event had just so much information and it was provided in such a timely manner. That can make a big difference in how people adjust their thinking and adjust their strategy to embrace the opportunities that are created by this technology.

## **How did you find the event?**

For me, one good thing about this conference is that there was a good mix of AI software and hardware people. I think such a mixture encourages discussions between the two different areas because AI algorithms are important, but just having the algorithms wouldn't be sufficient. We need collaborations between these two areas of people in order to make AI move more quickly.

## **How did you find the event?**

There were lots of good conversations. I think it's a very, very relevant crowd of people and the panel discussion was lively and good. There were good comments from all the participants, so it was nice.
