We warmly invite and welcome you to be a sponsor of the 2018 Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Australasian AI 2018), and thus play an essential role for the success of this major event of the Australasian Artificial Intelligence community.

Australasian AI has been successfully held for more than 30 years. With a rich scientific program covering all the areas of AI, as well as tutorials by leading researchers in the field, the conference has brought together many researchers, practitioners, educators, and users working in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and related communities. In 2018, the conference will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, from 11th-14th December 2018. Wellington is known as “the coolest little capital in the world”. As the country’s cultural and creative hub, Wellington is home to industry leaders in high tech innovation and with the highest concentration of people employed in the information, communications and media sector. Connectivity between knowledge, technology and people drives Wellington’s vision to be Smart Capital.

As a sponsor, you will have fantastic opportunities to have a presence in the conference, such as raising corporate public awareness, interacting with leading scientific minds in the field, cultivate new collaborations, and reaching future employees with high potentials.
