FARMINGTON HILLS – TIECon Detroit is coming back in October 2018 on a new day at a new location.

The day-long event, scheduled for Saturday Oct 6 at Suburban Collection Showplace is called “Ignite2Distrupt: All About AI.” It will focus on the practical applications of Artificial Intelligence and the technologies that are dramatically transforming the future of work in a positive way. TieCon Detroit is hosted by the Detroit Chapter of TiE.

Last year it was held over two days during the week at The Detroit Marriott in downtown Detroit. Earlier Tel Ganesan, TiE Detroit President, said moving the show to Saturday would make it far easier for attendees who would not have to take time off work.

Early Bird registration ends August 31st.

“AI is changing our work and play, reshaping our daily lives. Michigan which is the center of the automotive industry has a future more than just cars,” said Tel Ganesan, TiE Detroit President.

“AI will lead to more jobs, if we do it right. This one-of-a-kind mega conference will bring together the leading AI innovators, the most inspiring start-ups, consultancies and thought-leaders to support and build a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem for the state.”

Year 2017 saw many amazing deep learning breakthroughs and 2018 is expected to deliver even more AI marvels. Beyond the hype AI is already delivering real value in business across all industries.

TiECon Detroit 2018 is expected to attract more than 1,000 attendees, bringing together innovators, venture capitalists, startups and tech executives from around the world. The one day intensive entrepreneur bootcamp which is a part of this event will surely ignite your mind to disrupt the technology around you. The conference will also host “TiE20″, which will showcase the most promising 20 start-up companies across TiECon Detroit’s focus segments: Sensors/Electronics, Food/Health/Fitness, In Vehicle Technologies, Agriculture, Energy, Manufacturing, Marketing/Social Communications and FinTech.
