On Friday, May 10 [IBM Developer SF](https://www.meetup.com/IBM-Developer-SF-Bay-Area-Meetup/) hosted its first full-day event: [AI & ML Developer Summit](https://aiml-developer-summit.splashthat.com/). The event was a great success. We had over 350 RSVPs, 150 people attending and 11 speakers from six companies (Twilio, Uber, Bose, Optimizely, Antilips, IBM). Here is the event in 10 (or more) pictures.
