Details

Organisers cite Montreal’s role in the development of deep learning, the concentration of Canadian contributors in the Bittensor community, and the city’s accessibility from Europe and across North America as the reasons for the location. The venue, New City Gas, is a restored 19th-century industrial complex in Griffintown.
