The neuromorphic computing field stands at a critical juncture. While we have incredible theoretical advances and promising hardware developments, our software infrastructure remains fragmented compared to the mature ecosystem that has propelled conventional machine learning forward. This panel brings together the maintainers and contributors behind the most important open-source neuromorphic software libraries to discuss how we can build a more unified, competitive, and accessible ecosystem. Join us for a unique opportunity to hear directly from the people building the tools that power neuromorphic research. Each panelist will share their insights on why they chose to build open-source solutions, what they’ve learned from developing these libraries, and their vision for how the Open Neuromorphic community can better support and accelerate the entire ecosystem. Confirmed Panelists This panel brings together leading maintainers from the neuromorphic software ecosystem to discuss the future of open-source tools. We are thrilled to welcome:
