StartCon, GrowthHackers & Chris Paynter (chrispaynter.com) have partnered together to present international guest speaker:  Jonathan Esptein, Senior VP, International at Sentient.AI

Jonathan will discuss how artificial intelligence is disrupting the world of conversion optimization, accelerating optimization programs 10-1000X or more over traditional A/B and multivariate approaches.

With these new capabilities come new ideas on what to test, new thinking on the role of the growth hacker and conversion expert, and how organizations can embrace the discipline of testing. Epstein will present a number of case studies, discuss the foundations of evolutionary computation, and present a live demo.

Sentient is the world’s most funded-AI company with over $135M in funding, and they have created the largest and most powerful intelligent system in the world to transform how businesses tackle complex problems.
