SILICON MOUNTAINS 2025
Since 2019, Silicon Mountains is one of the largest tech platforms in Armenia. Every year, the event gathers tech leaders and enthusiasts to discover Armenia’s potential and puts Armenia on the world map as a technologically advanced country.
On October 14, Silicon Mountains 2025 is coming back to explore the anatomy of artificial intelligence. The Summit is bringing together 10+ world-class experts and leaders in the field who will unveil the layers of AI—from its core structures to the hidden complexities.
Through engaging standalone talks and fresh insights, our speakers will explore AI from A to Z: the algorithms that think, the neural networks that learn, the data pipelines that feed intelligence, and the human expertise that makes it all possible. It’s not just an ordinary conference—it’s a real discovery of how AI truly works behind the scenes.
The Summit also gives you the opportunity to have B2B meetings with speakers in special VIP zones and even hold private talks.
No matter if you work in tech or are just curious about AI, this is your best chance to hear and learn from the people who are driving AI.
Together, we’re building the country of our dreams- Silicon Mountains!
