Ricky Ray Butler

CEO, Benlabs

What I really like about DeepFest, is the exposure to all of the solutions that we are seeing with AI. And then again, making those connections with people from around the world, hearing their ideas and exchanging potential solutions.

Betsy Greytok

Vice President, Ethics & Policy, IBM

I'm completely puzzled by the organisation of LEAP and DeepFest because it's so dynamic and there are so many people that speak of the latest technologies. It's incredible.

Nadia Thalmann

Founder and Director, MIRAlab

If you go back to a few years ago, AI was a curiosity, there was interest. But, now you see the business moving. You see executives and partners betting really big and so it's the momentum you see here, which is fantastic because that means that there is value on the other side.

Ben Taylor

Chief AI Strategist, Dataiku

It's been amazing just walking around the showfloor and seeing companies and experts from all over the world. DeepFest has done a great job at inviting the top people in the world to come to Saudi Arabia and work on bringing us the future faster.

Alvin Wang Graylin

China President and Global VP of Corporate Development, China

DeepFest is very important because it doesn't matter where you sit in the organisation, it does a phenominal job of bringing in individuals from all over the globe together to share a global perspective of what's happening.
