6pm - 8:00pm: Lightning talks ⚡
8:00pm - 8:30pm: Networking

​Talks

​Talk 1: How do we create the “ChatGPT moment” for 3D understanding?
Speaker: Zach Sussman (Co-Founder & CTO @ Mach9)
Abstract: Twenty years ago, understanding and extracting meaning from unstructured text was an open research question; now it’s solvable with an API call to a large language model. Drawing parallels to modern LLMs, we’ll explore how making breakthroughs in 3D perception depends on having large-scale, high-fidelity datasets like those that Mach9 is uniquely positioned to provide.

​Talk 2: Transforming the safety industry using computer vision
Speaker: Abhishek Venkataraman (Director of Perception @ Voxel) & Brandon Loyd (VP of Product @ Voxel)
Abstract: Voxel’s computer‑vision platform transforms existing camera networks into a real‑time safety intelligence layer, flagging hazards before they escalate and dramatically reducing incident rates across warehouses, retail distribution centers, and manufacturing plants. In this talk, Abhishek and Brandon will unpack how Voxel AI is deploying its edge‑to‑cloud ML pipeline on thousands of camera to deliver rapid ROI and safer workplaces for Fortune 1000 customers.
