Calling all robot lovers: The time is now to book June 22 on your calendar. That’s the day of Robo Madness West, a celebration of (and critical look at) the exploding fields of robotics and artificial intelligence among startups and big companies alike.

Our fifth annual Bay Area robotics event is being held in partnership with the 2016 Sensors Expo & Conference at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, CA. We are convening an all-star lineup of CEOs, founders, and top executives from companies such as iRobot, PARC, Savioke, Simbe Robotics, Jibo, Lemnos Labs, Eyeris, PreNav, and Fetch Robotics.

The key themes this year are robot design across different industries (including logistics, retail, and home); human-machine interaction and collaboration; drone navigation and mapping; machine learning and artificial intelligence; and more.

We have quite a program in store—everything from solo talks and robot demos to fireside chats and panel discussions on topics that are most compelling to our audience of tech and business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, marketers, and anyone interested in the future of robotics and A.I.

To get a sense of the event, you can check out photos and takeaways from our recent sister event in Boston, as well as last year’s Robo Madness West.

We’ll have more details on the afternoon agenda soon. Meantime, today (Friday) is the last day to grab our early bird ticket special. Hope you can help spread the word and join us in San Jose on June 22.
