Testimonials

“The Fifth Elephant has been a community of passionate and talented people in tech and is for me one of the most valuable sources of practical insights into ML and AI and related aspects” — said Manu Hegde, a member of The Fifth Elephant.

“I have been a regular attendee at Fifth Elephant events since 2016 and I always take away a lot of applied wisdom from the speakers and other practitioners I meet. Often this is about common problem but many times it’s also about topics that I was not even aware of and it definitely broadens my view. The talks are on-point and derive from real world experience with very little to no marketing fluff. The Fifth Elephant community is welcoming of feedback and very supportive to all members.” - said Sidharth Ramachandran, a member of The Fifth Elephant.
