ONUG Announces Inaugural AI Networking Summit
Unleashing the Power of AI in Enterprise Networking
(Boston, MA) January 25, 2024 – ONUG, a leading organization dedicated to advancing the future of digital transformation, is excited to unveil the first-ever AI Networking Summit. This groundbreaking conference and exhibition will delve into the realm of AI-powered networking, exploring its transformative potential in enterprise operations, security, and networking across various industries globally.
The AI Networking Summit is scheduled to take place at Union Station in Dallas on May 15-16, 2024, hosted by FedEx. The event aims to foster discussions around the convergence of AI and enterprise infrastructure, shedding light on the profound impact AI will have on infrastructure, its lifecycle management and its support of emerging AI-enabled business applications.
“The enterprise and telecommunications community is starting to plan for a massive new networking and cybersecurity infrastructure build to support AI workloads, and in the process reimagining architectures, design patterns and operations. This is a trillion dollar world wide market that is about to be totally disrupted as the boundary between developer and infrastructure teams are redefined. This is a bigger transformative event than the advent of TCP/IP was on computer networking.” said Nick Lippis, Co-chair of the AI Networking Summit. “The AI Networking Summit is the platform for Enterprise consumers, vendors and service providers to collaborate and understand AI’s enormous impact on networking and security infrastructure.” said Lippis
