STARTUPFEST 2025 IS ONLY A WEEK AWAY

🎉 It’s that time of year again—conference season’s kicking off! I’ll be heading back to Startupfest in Montréal, where the AI track is always buzzing. With AI touching nearly every corner of tech, I’m diving in once more—but this year with an extra eye on the edge.
If you’ve been reading closely, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been slipping more edge stories into the mix. That’s no accident—I really believe getting AI closer to the hardware will unlock bigger, more impactful use cases (don’t worry, I’m not on the robot overlord train 🚫🤖). This year, expect wide-ranging coverage—but you’ll definitely see me nerding out over the Hardtechfest track. 🛠️🔥
In the meantime! Check out last year’s coverage here.
