Intelligent Applications Summit 2023

2022 Highlights

If we go look to the future ... there's going to be a few big foundational models and then just tweaks, tweaks, tweaks, tweaks on top of it.

Charles Lamanna - Corp VP Business Apps and Platform - Microsoft

I think that the emergence of some of these foundational models is opening up what is possible.

Matt Garman - SVP
AWS Sales and Marketing – Amazon
