ID Verification

To ensure a seamless and secure experience, GHC 24 is introducing an ID verification process that includes a secure biometric check.

EXPO Access Groups

The Expo Hall experience has also been reimagined to maximize networking opportunities and ease of access for attendees. GHC 24 is introducing Expo Access Groups, where attendees will be randomly assigned to one of two allocated time block groups following registration confirmation.

Whether attending in-person or virtually, attendees are able to engage with industry leaders, explore pioneering tech, and join a vibrant community.

Wilkerson emphasized, “These new features demonstrate our unwavering commitment to creating a safer and more secure environment for our community, as well as new opportunities for technologists of all levels. By introducing these enhancements, GHC 24 will be a transformative experience of collective power. This new approach not only fosters innovation but also ensures that every woman and nonbinary individual in attendance feels secure, valued, and empowered.”

Since 2008, ATS has managed major traffic projects in Abu Dhabi Emirate, solidifying its role as a leader in providing total traffic management solutions.

Leveraging ATS’s established network, Nota AI will initiate a Proof of Concept (PoC) project with Dubai‘s Road and Transport Authority (RTA), deploying its generative AI and Vision Language Model (VLM)-based ITS solutions. This project will demonstrate Nota AI’s on-device AI capabilities, setting the stage for solutions to urban mobility challenges across the Middle East.

The PoC project’s core ITS solution integrates Vision Language Model (VLM) and multimodal capabilities to process diverse data sources, enabling precise traffic analysis. Powered by Nota AI’s optimized on-device AI technology, this advanced traffic analysis solution can be deployed efficiently across various traffic-related devices, promising substantial improvements in traffic management and bringing meaningful changes to regional conditions in the Middle East.
