VIATEC AI Meetup: Business Track
Thursday, March 13, 2025 (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) (PDT)
Description
Overview
Are you an entrepreneur or tech professional curious about how AI can transform your business and career? Join us at the VIATEC AI Meetup, where local thought leaders and innovators come together to explore the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and its practical applications.
We now have this "Business Track" where we explore AI Topics for Business and a separate "Technology Track" where we explore the Technology topics that power AI implementation, applications and techniques.
What to Expect:
This dynamic, in-person event features two compelling presentations.
Bryce Bocking and Logan Ashall from MarineLabs will present on their new product: Forecast AI, providing accurate and hyper-localized coastal weather forecasts delivered through MarineLabs’ new machine learning models and extensive data from their fleet of real-time sensor nodes. Forecast AI is a much-anticipated addition to MarineLabs’ flagship product, CoastAware, a real-time weather intelligence solution that enhances safety, efficiency, and sustainability in maritime operations and bolsters the climate resilience of coastlines.
Mike Leslie from Revela will speak on the upstart AI innovator Deepseek, offering insights on using it as well as how it might change the overall trajectory of AI.
We’ll also open the floor for collaborative discussions and networking to spark new ideas and partnerships.
Feel free to grab a bite at the Fort Cafe, located on site.
