About the talks:

• Jagdeep Singh (AWS) - Learn the easiest way to build and scale generative AI applications with foundation models using Amazon Bedrock. With Amazon Bedrock customers can choose leading foundation model with single API. Customers can evaluate, compare and select best FM using model evaluation on Bedrock. Easily build secure RAG and Agentic workflows using Knowledge Base for Amazon Bedrock. Implement safeguards and enforce responsible AI policies for your generative AI applications using Guardrails for Bedrock.
• Serkan Capkan (Cloutive) - With the rise of GenAI, it has become almost mandatory for companies of all types to kick off GenAI projects. Over the last two years, we have seen many of these companies roll up their sleeves and try all kinds of GenAI tools. Most initiatives have been started by technical teams and often end up as dead-end fun or hobby projects. In this talk, we’ll share our approach to effectively planning and delivering GenAI projects that provide business value.
• Ryan Earley (Datadog) - Defining and executing the right LLM Observability strategy is crucial for companies to enable them to accelerate the deployment of generative AI applications to production environments and scale them reliably. Learn about LLM Observability and how it allows AI application developers and ML engineers to efficiently monitor, improve and secure large language model (LLM) applications.
