The 2021 Ken Kennedy AI and Data Science Conference will be held virtually. This year’s conference will be held at our online venue for networking, collaborating, and building partnerships focused around data science, machine learning, and data engineering problems and opportunities. Registration will be free (thanks to our sponsors!), and an outdoor networking reception is planned to allow attendees, speakers, and sponsors to network in person.
Attended by 400 leaders and experts, the conference will strike a balance between applied and fundamental data science, and academia and industry. This combination of research and application discussion will create a venue for networking, collaboration, and partnership building.
The conference will also reach a broad audience from around the world. Presentations will be live-streamed as well as recorded and published online on the Ken Kennedy Institute’s YouTube channel that has over 600 subscribers.

Special Notes (Please Read!):
-
- All our sponsors will be required to agree to our Terms & Conditions.
- If you plan on sharing your sponsorship with another company you will need to provide us with one logo. We cannot combine two logos into one for you and we cannot display two logos separately. We are also not responsible for readability of your composite logo as space for your logo will be regulated by the level of sponsorship.
- It is very important that you provide us with one contact person for communication purposes. Please make sure this person is able to disseminate information to all relevant parties at your company (and any partners if a shared sponsorship). This is particularly important when it comes to logistical information. Occasionally, the people that are representing companies the day of the conference have not been given the logistical information prior to arriving. This can create miscommunication and confusion for everyone involved, so we ask that you please designate one person to be the main contact for your company.
