SAN FRANCISCO, January 29, 2024 — In January 2024, VentureBeat launched the AI Impact Tour, a series of intimate events in cities across the U.S., each focusing on distinct aspects of the current and upcoming AI revolution. VB Lab just announced a partnership with Microsoft to sponsor three of these events, kicking off in New York in February.
Each invitation-only salon is an evening of networking, insights and conversation with leaders and technical decision-makers in enterprise AI, talking about the AI issues relevant to each city. Attendees will gain critical intel into what other AI decision-makers are doing and why, while enjoying appetizers, cocktails and industry connections new and old.
“We’re excited to join forces with VB Lab to sponsor three crucial stops on the VentureBeat AI Impact Tour in 2024,” says Alysa Taylor, corporate vice president, Azure + Industry, Microsoft. “With these events, we’re looking forward to exploring the latest developments and trends in generative AI, and how every organization can benefit from this wave of technology advancement while safeguarding their business, their data and their customers.”
“Microsoft’s AI innovation and commitment to building communities in AI and data tech is strongly aligned with VB Lab’s mission,” says Gina Joseph, chief strategy officer at VentureBeat. “VB Lab is proud to feature thought leaders like Microsoft that are making a real impact in the AI world, and bringing value to those around them.”
