Registration info
We welcome students, academics, and industry professionals to attend the Deep Learning Indaba๐ South Africa - one of South Africa’s premier Machine Learning gatherings and community-building spaces ๐ค.
“Indaba” is a Zulu and Xhosa word meaning “discussion” or “conference”
The aim of the conference is to provide a practical introduction to machine learning for beginners, to exchange scientific knowledge amongst researchers, and showcase cutting-edge applications from industry partners.
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 ๐ซ.
Note: we will have videographers and photographers at the event ๐ท, smiles encouraged ๐.
