Hi there,
We’re gearing up for Upper Bound 2025 in May, and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to take part in our Flash Sale.
Upper Bound is an AI conference unlike any other. It’s a place where anyone involved or interested in the potential of artificial intelligence can meet and share their knowledge and enthusiasm. Whether you’re involved in industry or research, or you’re curious about how AI might help you in your career. That’s always been my favourite part of the Upper Bound — bringing diverse people together and facilitating collisions, conversations and sessions you won’t find anywhere else. We’ve got sessions planned for all levels of technical proficiency, so no matter where you are in your AI journey, there is bound to be a session perfect for you.
The Flash Sale is your chance to be a part of Upper Bound 2025 for the lowest price. Tickets are 50% off right now, but only until the end of September. So, make sure you secure your spot now. We’ve got some great things planned for May! Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer.
See you soon,
