Another one bites the dust. As an Engineer, AI was going to be my big draw during Build 2020. But now, Coronavirus (Covid-19) has claimed another tech conference by its teeth. This is one in a line of many meets cancelled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. RSA conference, not even a week ago, chimed in 2 casualties. SXSW is cancelled. E3 - cancelled! A Webinar can benefit a lot, given the circumstances at hand - it would benefit my crew of about 25, who engineer AI, to attend, while being safe from the coronavirus pandemic.
