Sponsorship 2018
The Deep Learning Indaba exists to celebrate and strengthen machine learning in Africa through state-of-the-art teaching, networking, policy debate, and through our support programmes, such as the IndabaX and the Kambule and Maathai awards. We work towards the vision of Africans becoming critical contributors, owners, and shapers of the coming advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning. We need visionary partners to help realise this vision; we need your help!
In 2018 we increase our commitment to African machine learning with an ambitious programme that will almost double our participation and significantly increase continental participation. A report of the outcomes of the 2017 Indaba is available here.
