AI Innovation, Infrastructure, and Impact

Dear AI Enthusiasts,
Discover the forefront of AI innovation at our next Artificial Intelligence Meetup Frankfurt, where we’ll explore the latest trends, technologies, and real-world applications shaping the future of intelligent systems.

From deep learning and AI infrastructure to project leadership in the age of automation, our expert speakers will share valuable insights and hands-on experiences from across industries. Whether you’re a data scientist, technologist, researcher, or entrepreneur, this is your chance to connect, learn, and exchange ideas with like-minded professionals driving AI forward.

We would like to thank Frankfurt School of Finance and Management (Astrid) for hosting our Meetup.

Agenda
18:00 – 18:10; Reception
18:10 – 18:15; A welcome note from Organiser & host/sponsor

18:15 - 18:45; Speaker I: Kenneth Tan, Sardina Systems
Talk: Behind the AI Curtain: Infrastructure That Powers AI/ML Systems
Abstract: As AI/ML systems continue to evolve, the infrastructure behind them plays a more critical role than ever. In this talk, the speaker will explore the essential components that support AI computing—from hardware and data storage to orchestration and scaling. The speaker will also dive into a real-world case from Tübingen University, examining how infrastructure decisions shape the success of AI projects. Whether you’re an engineer, researcher, or tech enthusiast, this session offers insights into the operational backbone that enables intelligent systems.

18:45 - 19:15; Speaker II: Aarti Gupta, Deutsche Bank
Talk: From Overhead to Leading Transformation - The Twin Strategy for AI in Project Management
Notes from the Speaker: Project management is no longer about tracking progress, it’s about shaping the future.

As AI transforms how work is planned, executed, and delivered, project leaders must evolve from operational overseers to catalysts of change.
This session introduces The Twin Strategy: a dual approach that explores:

• How AI is revolutionizing project management tools, methods, and decision-making.
• What project leaders must master to successfully lead AI-driven and future-tech initiatives.

Discover how the fusion of artificial and human intelligence can elevate project management from perceived overhead to the very heart of innovation and strategic impact.

19:15 - 19:45; Break (food & drinks can be purchased in the coffee bar of Frankfurt School)

19:45 - 20:15; Speaker III: Viktor Malyi, simpleclub
Talk: How to Get the Most from AI in Your Organization Today?
Notes from the Speaker: Most organizations already adopted AI are either stuck in AI demo hell or rushing into production without proper foundations. Having spent the last three years building AI systems and leading the transformation of AI platforms at scale, the speaker has repeatedly seen the same three critical gaps derail AI initiatives across organisations of all sizes.
In this talk, the speaker will share the three essential pillars that separate AI success stories from expensive failures:
- Leveraging AI coding assistants for immediate productivity gains
- Implementing observability and evaluation frameworks that prevent costly mistakes
- Building high-performing AI teams through strategic talent development
