We had a blast at H2O World London last week! With a record number of attendees on-site and through the live stream, it’s clear that our AI and machine learning conference was indeed a huge success and we strongly believe this achievement is a result of dedicated preparation and great love – for and from – our community and makers. So, first of all, thank you!

H2O.ai Team

At H2O.ai, democratizing AI isn’t just an idea. It’s a movement. And that means that it requires action. We started out as a group of like minded individuals in the open source community, collectively driven by the idea that there should be freedom around the creation and use of AI.

Today we have evolved into a global company built by people from a variety of different backgrounds and skill sets, all driven to be part of something greater than ourselves. Our partnerships now extend beyond the open-source community to include business customers, academia, and non-profit organizations.
