The list of speakers includes Dr. Jeff Dean – Chief Scientist at Google, Dr. Luong Minh Thang – Senior Researcher and Senior Manager at Google DeepMind, Co-founder of the New Turing Institute, and leader of Alpha Geometry, which won silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2024, and many other top global AI experts will share insights and guide attendees exploring the latest advancements, prominent trends, and the boundless potential of Generative AI technology.

Dr. Luong Minh Thang – co-organiser – stated: “This will be the most exciting GenAI conference ever, not only in Việt Nam but in the region. This is also the first time Jeff Dean, the Chief Scientist and ‘The God of Engineering’ of Google, visits the Southeast Asian country along with other world-renowned experts and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley. I am thrilled that it will be held right here in Việt Nam. Tech enthusiasts should not miss this opportunity.”
