Registration info
We welcome students, academics, and industry professionals to attend the Deep Learning Indaba𝕏 South Africa - one of South Africa’s premier Machine Learning gatherings and community-building spaces 🤝.
However, as much as we want everyone to join us, there is limited space available so we can only allow ~400 attendees in order to maximise their experience 🏫.
