"*I've never seen a conference like this - you have pure computer vision
conferences like CVPR or ICCV or you have GTC-type conferences that are
based on one company's resources.  This is an interesting mix of something
computer vision and entrepreneurial - it is very unique in that sense, I
have never seen anything like it before. It is a lot of fun.*" -*Timnit
Gebru (Stanford --> GoogleAI), 2017 ECVC Winner *
