About this event

Join us for the upcoming ONNX Community Meetup, sponsored by Intel and the LF AI & Data Foundation, on June 9th at the Intel campus in Santa Clara and online. Can’t make it in person? Don’t worry, we’ll have a livestream available.

This event promises updates on the ONNX Community, engaging partner and user stories, and ample opportunities for networking within the community.

The main conference track will feature lightning talks, highlighting the innovative applications of ONNX across the ecosystem. To cap off the day, we’ll host special topic panel discussions to address your questions and concerns. Check back for a full agenda soon.

Whether you’re utilizing ONNX in your services and applications, developing software or hardware that supports ONNX, or contributing to the ONNX project itself, this meetup is for you! It’s a fantastic chance to connect with fellow ONNX enthusiasts, learn from industry leaders, and become a part of this vibrant and expanding community. We look forward to seeing you there!
