Going to World AI Summit Montreal!
Going to my first ever in-person conference + making new connections
World AI Summit
During the month of May I was able to attend the World AI Summit in Montreal which was SUPER EXCITING! Going there was my first experience of in-person conferences and what an experience. I got to meet tons of interesting people all working in different fields in AI.
In Montreal I stayed in a AirBnB with a couple of my fellow innovates and TKS Staff. It was so much fun meeting them all and couldn’t have asked for a better first impression for conference life.
Speaking on Stage
At the conference I got to actually meet the organizer of World AI Summit Sarah Porter! Thinking it couldn’t get any better the very next day I got asked to go talk on stage completely impromptu, even though it wasn’t for long it was amazing seeing and feeling what it’s like talking on stage.
That certainly was a crazy experience and serves as motivation for me to work harder so that one day I could speak that same stage expect not impromptu but earned through my skills and knowledge.
BenchSci Challenge
During the same month I also was taking a part in the BenchSci Challenge. Me and my team were assigned a mentor that would guide and help us along the journey. The objective was to Identify the best opportunities for BenchSci to expand its technology by empowering scientists to understand and solve the most important drug-related problems.
