Important update
After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone AI UK scheduled for 24 – 25 March. Given public health concerns about the coronavirus we trust that you will understand we wish to prioritise the health and safety of the Turing community and our wider network. A tremendous amount of hard work and creativity has gone into planning for this event and The AI UK committee will now be exploring a number of options. We know that our 600 delegates, our sponsors, speakers and demonstrators were really looking forward to the event. We are hopeful that we can deliver our first, national showcase in the future, once the public health situation stabilises.
Confirmed registrations will be valid for the new date of AI UK, once this is confirmed. However if anyone wishes to be re-funded, we will do so. Please contact [email protected]
