Arm AIoT Summit China
The Shenzhen edition of the AIoT Summit, built for the hardware ecosystem that manufactures most of what the rest of the industry prototypes.
Numbers
- 800+
- Developers
Problem
Most of this hardware is manufactured in Shenzhen, and the developer community there was being served a translated version of a Bay Area event, months late.
Solution
A Shenzhen edition built for that ecosystem rather than exported to it. The same subject matter, programmed locally for the people who build the hardware.
Analysis
An audience that manufactures what everyone else is prototyping asks different questions, and they ask them in their own language. Translating the Bay Area slide deck would have answered none of it. The programme needed speakers who could field those questions live and in the room, which is a sourcing problem rather than a content one.
Result
More than 800 developers.

The room. Every seat taken, and the hardware ecosystem that builds most of this in it.
