Thank You for an Incredible H2O World

#H2OWorld 2017 was an incredible experience!
It was wonderful to gather with community members from all over the world for more than 50 interesting presentations and so many great conversations.

H2O World kicked off at the Computer History Museum with a keynote by H2O.ai CEO and Co-Founder, Sri Ambati, on the Maryam-Curie stage.

The main stage at #H2OWorld is called “Maryam-Curie” to honor two amazing women :

Maryam Mirzakhani, Iranian Mathematician and first woman to win the Fields Medal. https://t.co/jXlDKCdK2V

and Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel prize. https://t.co/1OLJ6Ql386 https://t.co/Yz6wRdigTl
