GenAI x Chips: Vienna Roundtable — From Silicon to Agents (DACH)

GenAI x Chips: Vienna Roundtable — From Silicon to Agents (DACH)
A relaxed, no-slides group dialogue on AI compute (Cerebras, SiPearl/EU) and agentic LLM adoption (LangChain, LlamaIndex) for the Austrian and DACH community.
WHAT
An informal, small-room conversation about the full GenAI stack—from chips and compute choices to real-world, agentic LLM workflows. Short intros, moderated circle discussion, open Q&A. No keynotes, no long decks.
WHY
DACH teams are moving from pilots to production. Compute options (EU chips, on-prem vs cloud) and building reliable agentic workflows are where decisions get costly. We’ll compare notes and share what actually works.
FORMAT
Group dialogue under the Chatham House Rule. Hybrid: on-site in Vienna with interactive online participation. Lightning intros only (30–45 seconds each), then moderated discussion and an open fishbowl segment.
WHO SHOULD JOIN
• Builders and practitioners shipping LLM apps (internal or external)
• Data/ML leads, CTOs/CIOs, innovation and product leaders in DACH
• Ecosystem partners across compute, infra, and frameworks
