I’m pretty amazed by the Long Horizon speaker roster – everytime I check the website it’s still growing. This event is rapidly becoming “the rooms where it happens” for robotics. And it’s just as well that talks are spread over three stages with lots of hallway conversation opportunities.

Naturally, I’ve been to a lot of conferences in the last few years, but I haven’t seen a roster with this much variation for a long time. There is a consistent level of quality in the workshops and breakout sessions as well. You’ll find me at a few of those. Attaching the full agenda for reference HERE. As well as the stellar speakers pictured you’ll be seeing:

  • Vincent Vanhoucke, Distinguished Engineer Waymo
  • Ken Goldberg, Co-founder Ambi Robotics
  • Tye Brady, CTO Amazon Robotics
  • Nathan Michael, CTO Shield AI
  • Sankaet Pathak, CEO Foundation
  • Alberto Rodriguez, Director of Robot Behavior, Boston Dynamics
  • Brandon Jones, Chief Autonomous Systems & Applications Officer, Wing
  • Matt George, CEO, Merlin
  • Devesh Upadhyay, CTO SAAB
  • Grace Brown, CEO Andromeda
  • Eric Chan, Co-founder & CTO Rhoda
  • Jason Ma, Co-founder Dyna

I’m really excited to be attending both days of the summit, and am happy to say that I’ve been given an exclusive promo code to share with the community – use SVR35 at Long Horizon for 35% off all tickets.

Event details

  • Encord’s Long Horizon Physical AI Summit, October 20–21, Fort Mason Arts & Culture Center, San Francisco
  • Two days, two distinct tracks: Day 1 is robotics and embodied AI, Day 2 is autonomy (AV, ADAS, drones, defense)
  • Four stages running in parallel (Main Stage/Theatre, Horizon Stage, Frontier Stage, Vista Room breakout room) – incredible choice of what to see, not a single-track lecture day

Amazing speakers, even better networking opportunities. Will I see you there?
