Qualcomm is coming to Talent Arena, a three‑day developer-focused event to help builders go from ideas to real, deployable Edge AI applications.
Over the course of the three-day event, Qualcomm together with Edge Impulse and Arduino will host hands-on workshops designed to help developers build, train, deploy, and scale Edge AI solutions, ranging from computer vision to on-device LLMs. Additionally, they will showcase the future of wearables, physical AI, and robotics through edge-first experiences and demos, including a dedicated Robotics Zone.

On Device LLMs with Genie 2: Build a Chat App using Qualcomm® AI Hub Apps
Date: Monday, March 2, 2026
Time: 11:15 AM - 12:45 PM
Room: XPRO Lab - Workshop
Abstract:
Join this hands-on workshop and learn how to run large language models fully on-device with the Qualcomm® AI Hub™ Apps. You’ll use a pretrained LLM from Qualcomm AI Hub Models to build and run a C++ ChatApp optimized to run on the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ NPU.
Get started with Edge AI: From Zero to Hero (Collect, Train & Deploy in 60 minutes)
Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2026
Time: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
Room: XPRO Lab - Workshop
Abstract:
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to train and deploy your first Machine Learning model using Edge Impulse. Designed for beginners and experienced developers, the session covers data collection, model training, and deployment on edge devices. You’ll build an end-to-end real-time Object Detection application running directly on hardware. No prior ML experience required—just bring your laptop and curiosity!
From Prototype to Product: Scaling Edge AI Across Use Cases
Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2026
Time: 4:45 PM – 6:15 PM
Room: Frontier Lab - Workshop
Abstract:
Learn how to scale Edge AI applications across Qualcomm® developer kits and evaluation kits (EVKs) in this hands on workshop. Using keyword spotting as a practical example, you’ll see how the same ML pipeline can move from prototyping to deployment across multiple system on chips (SoCs). Explore how to select the right hardware, deploy models consistently, and build voice enabled experiences that run locally at the edge.
Computer Vision with Arduino UNO Q: From Edge AI to VLMs
Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Time: 11:15 AM – 1:00 PM
Room: XPRO Lab - Workshop
Abstract:
Join an interactive, hands-on workshop to explore Computer Vision on the edge using Edge Impulse and Arduino UNO Q. Learn how to collect data and train an object detection model to filter events in real time, then cascade to a Vision Language Model. No prior ML experience required. You’ll build an end-to-end cascaded AI application in the edge, balancing power efficiency and accuracy on real hardware. Bring your laptop and your curiosity!
