Last week, we had an inspiring and educational experience during our 2-day AI Day! 🚀 At Ignite, our philosophy is to leverage AI not just because it's trending, but to harness its power to tackle previously unsolvable problems. On day 1, we were thrilled to join Google's AI Day at the Colosseum, where we immersed ourselves in insightful talks and presentations about generative AI and the Vertex AI Platform. The knowledge shared by industry leaders was invaluable! Day 2 was just as impactful, featuring a private classroom session with Sina from Google. This deep dive was followed by hands-on work at Ignite, allowing our product teams to apply their newfound knowledge. Thank you to Google Cloud for hosting and all the speakers who shared their expertise 🌟 We’re excited to see how our teams will integrate these cutting-edge AI tools into solving real-world challenges.
