Event Our offer of discount early-bird tickets for Minds Mastering Machines ends next Monday, so act now if you want to join us to learn how real organisations can exploit machine learning and artificial intelligence and save big. We'll be bringing together a fantastic lineup of experts and practitioners at our conference on September 30 and October 1, headlined by Facebook AI's London research manager Sebastian Riedel and machine-learning veteran Dr Lorien Pratt. And if you want to get deep, and save even more, you can also get early bird prices on our October 2 workshops, which cover: developing and deploying Neural Nets; text mining; developing with TensorFlow 2; and getting machine learning into production using containers and devops. The venue is the palatial QE II Conference Center, in London, England, and the event runs from September 30 to October 2. As usual there will be excellent food right the way through, as well as our first-day drinks party, meaning you can connect with the speakers and your fellow attendees But remember, early bird prices expire next week, so to lock in your spot, head to the MCubed website now.
