The Chatbots 3.0 conference in Philadelphia was a huge success.  We had about 25 attendees and 11 high quality presentations. A number of people who were unable to attend have made requests to see the presentations.  We have asked the speakers to submit links to their talks so that you can view them.

We have released an upgrade to the AIML Superbot, a development kit that makes it easy for you to create a chat bot with its own unique and proprietary personality distinct from the ALICE bot.

Chatbots 3.0 is a one-day gathering of bot creators, commercial users, enthusiasts, scientists and students interested in A.I. bot technology.

We have released the final schedule for the Chatbots 3.0 conference.  We have attracted an impressive collection of speakers who will present about a wide variety of topics of interest to all of us.  The topics span business, technology and academia.  There are still a few days of free registration left.  After March 7, the registration fee will be raised to 10 USD. 

Participants are gathering from all over the world for this exciting one-day event in historic Philadelphia.  Join us for this important, informative one-day event!  Register now at http://chatbots3.eventbrite.com
