Speakers

Speakers come from different worlds on purpose: researchers who can say what is actually new in computer vision, data and language models; performance and data staff from clubs and federations who know what survives a season; and the founders and investors who decide what gets built and bought. Each track hears all three, and the conversation between them is the point. Names are published here as they are confirmed, and the call for talks is open until 30 October.
