“In 2018 we got involved with Mark Kelly and A.I in Action after getting to know Mark through his excellent A.I in Action podcast. Mark ran the A.I in Action talk stream at Predict. He also gave an excellent talk where he shared key insights from interviewing over 50 leaders (researchers, executives, founders) from the world of AI, Machine Learning and Data Science in Ireland.In 2019 we are very keen to grow our collaboration with Mark. Aside from being very well connected in the A.I. scene, he is also enthusiastic and reliable. I can recommend Mark as a partner in community and communication projects within Data Science.”
Paul Whitaker
Chairman at CICM
“Mark Kelly presented at our conference last week to a diverse audience of non-tech international business professionals. Most of the attendees had little or no knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, and particularly how it applied to their own job and daily tasks. Mark shared some very valuable information in a clear and entertaining way, opening the door to AI for all the delegates and debunking some of the myths and misinformation around it. I would highly recommend Mark as a keynote for any group wishing to activate an AI conversation in their organisation.”
