Proceeds from the October 7 evening will fund research fellowships at Yerevan State University’s Machine Learning Laboratory
BURBANK, California. An evening devoted to Armenia’s role in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence will take place Wednesday, October 7, at 6:00 PM at the Kalaydjian Banquet Hall and Cultural Center, 3325 N. Glenoaks Blvd., Burbank.

The evening will begin with a keynote by Dr. Khachatryan, followed by a panel discussion examining what advances in artificial intelligence could mean for Armenia—not only for its technology sector, but for its economy, national security, global competitiveness, and broader role in the region. The conversation will explore where Armenia can meaningfully contribute, what opportunities are emerging, and what investments in talent, research, and infrastructure will be required.
This event is a fundraiser benefiting Yerevan State University’s Center for Mathematical and Applied Research, with a particular focus on its Machine Learning Laboratory.
100% of event proceeds will support research fellowships at the Machine Learning Laboratory, helping advance AI research and support the next generation of researchers in Armenia.
Dinner and drinks are included with your ticket.
