What is ValleyML.ai?ValleyML.ai is a brand-new community (like a meetup) working with IEEE Silicon Valley AI Chapter and other AI related organizations bringing a series of regularly planned events, we plan to cover the state-of-the art advances in AI technology. Attendees for most of the workshops get IEEE Certificates for Professional Development Hours if the courses are organized by Approved Provider of IEEE Certificates. Each event would be financially sponsored and organized by a corporation or an organization working on ML/AI and ValleyML.ai would handle the technical program. For the case of paid events, IEEE /ACM Members get a discount of 25%. IEEE CIS/other supporting chapter Members - additional 5%. Events sponsored by corporations or organizations may charge the attendee fees to cover the expenses associated with the event. However, the pricing is expected to be 10x lower than a corporate conference. For instance, AI/ML corporate conferences would cost anywhere from $2000 to $3000. We focus more on providing technical content. Please see this introduction post from Dr. Kiran Gunnam

You can signup for our mailing list on the website to get informed on our next events. Join our meetup to engage in discussions with fellow attendees and speakers
-
What is the advantage of joining your mailing lists or meetups?We will post additional discount codes to both meetup and our mailing list in addition to the existing discounts. We will also post limited free tickets to these groups on first-come, first-serve basis.
-
Will the attendees get IEEE Certificate for Professional Development Hours for this event?Yes. This event is reviewed and approved by IEEE continuing Education. Note that there is no additonal fee for doing the paperwork and the certificate for paid attendees. However there is an additional fee of $25 for attendees with free tickets as this is a mandatory fee charged by IEEE Continuing Education. Please contact us at the email from which your eventbrite registration ticket is sent. Apollo AI, who is an approved IEEE Certificate Provider, is working with IEEE (https://www.ieee.org/education/continuing-education.html) to provide this.
