Google Building S2, Handyside St, London N1C 4DN, United Kingdom
Curated Google DeepMind event for startups dedicated to building transformative, AI-powered companies. A tactical demonstration of how new models like Gemini give startups a competitive edge.
A selective opportunity to get a direct look at how Google's most innovative models are being built, straight from the team in the lab. Hear from the minds themselves.
We’re treating this as a live behind-the-scenes demo for a curated audience of founders, CEOs and CTOs who care about the substance of what they're building. We're pulling back the curtain to show, not just tell, what's possible.
Please ensure to bring personal identification to be admitted in the event. Attendance is strictly limited to ensure a high-quality, interactive session.
