Over the last 6 months, I have had the pleasure of being at most events and meeting some extraordinary people. As an intern, I have been exposed to so many more things than I could have hoped for and reflecting on my time with RE•WORK, it was the attendees, speakers, exhibitors and ultimately the RE•WORK team that have made all the blood, sweat & tears worth it. Looking back at the some of the attendee feedback we received, it’s been a good few months and having the opportunity to be along for the ride has been incredible. My journey at RE•WORK has been the most rewarding and ultimately some of the best months of my life and I’m so excited to see what RE•WORK will be up to next! Don’t take my word for it, our attendees feel the same too!

Bart Selman, Cornell University: "Extremely well-organized & intellectually stimulating event, with excellent speakers, audience interaction and participation"

Jacob Miller, Circle Computer Resources: "I'm new to DL. Just being able to interact with other attendees and finding my place in DL was highly valuable."

Mariya Yao, TOPBOTS.com: "I didn't get a chance to tell you this in person, but the Deep Learning Summit was one of the best organized conferences I'd been to and I cover dozens every year. There was clearly a lot of thoughtfulness to cultivate a diverse range of speakers (very inspiring!)

Deep Learning in Healthcare Summit, London, 28 February & 1 March

Maximilian Waschka, FUSE-AI: “You create a unique atmosphere for networking, have great speakers and a great venue. Also, I like your approach of integrating some feminist ideas into your work”

Arjan Wijnveen, CVEDIA: "We attended the Medical Summit in London the other week and the Deep Learning Summit in SF 2 months ago, both organized by rework. I have nothing but praise for the organizers and can only hope they keep up this level of quality. The events are intimate and efficient and their speakers of good quality. And not to forget the food has also been excellent :) Many thanks to Katie Pollitt and her team!"
