Event Information
NVIDIA AI Day returns to the University of Reading this March, bringing together researchers, students, startups and industry professionals to explore the future of artificial intelligence and accelerated computing. Following the success of the previous NVIDIA AI Day, this half-day event introduces a new challenge-led format. Selected participants will take the stage to deliver fast-paced pitches presenting ambitious AI ideas, breakthrough research concepts and innovative real-world applications.
The central challenge asks: What would you build if you had access to a DGX Spark? A panel of expert judges from NVIDIA, industry and academia will assess the pitches, with a DGX Spark awarded to the winning team or individual. Alongside the pitching showcase, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with AI researchers, technologists, entrepreneurs and investors, helping to strengthen the growing AI innovation ecosystem across the Thames Valley.
This event is open to students, researchers, startup founders, industry professionals and anyone interested in emerging AI technologies.
