We're bringing TC Sessions: Robotics AI back to UC Berkeley on March 3, and we're excited to announce our jam-packed agenda. For months we've been recruiting speakers from the ranks of the most innovative founders, top technologists and hard-charging VCs working in robotics and AI, and the speaker line-up will capture the remarkable acceleration across the field in the past year. New for this year, we will be hosting our very first pitch-off competition for early-stage robotics companies. There is still time to submit your application. What better way to mark the occasion than to grab an early-bird ticket ($150 savings) right now and right here before prices increase.
