Talks:
Front to back OTel instrumentation (JS and Java)
Is you thought OTel was just for backend services and Kubernetes pods, think again. Join Carly as she walks through the state of Client Instrumentation for OpenTelemetry, how to propagate UI and backend signals, and how to find bottlenecks using Elastic.

Speaker: Carly Richmond, Manager Developer Advocate, Elastic

Embeddings - LLMs - vector / semantic search - GenAI - RAG - agents - MCP
With all the technologies floating around the tech space these days it almost sounds like a buzzwords bingo.
This talk will go over all these concepts to explain the differences and purpose of all these technologies. We’ll cover everything from explaining embeddings and different vector search strategies, to the difference between RAG and agents, what the role of MCP is, and how it all ties together.

Speaker: Iulia Feroli, Senior Developer Advocate, Elastic
