Talk 1 - Building resilient architectures on AWS 🏛️

This session introduces you to the basics and common practices for resiliency on AWS. It then dives into more advanced build patterns and real-world examples that enable you to take the next step in your quest for higher resiliency. Attend this session and equip yourself with the knowledge to architect for resilience on AWS
• Speaker: Alex König (Senior Solutions Architect, AWS)

Talk 2 - Beyond Chatbots - The road to robust LLM integration into data pipelines. 💡

• Description: Chatbots based on Large Language Models have revolutionized how the world experiences AI. Yet, in the wake of the widely discussed AI hyper-workloads, a lot of potential for cost-effective, small-scale solutions gets overlooked. Large Language Models and their smaller-scale counterparts unlock the potential for simple integration of unstructured text data into rigid data pipelines, a task previously reserved for NLP experts.

In this session, we will explore the challenges that teams might face when attempting to include LLMs in their data workloads, how these challenges can be tackled, and how AWS is pivotal in bringing these ideas from concept to production.

• Speaker: Simon Krannig (Lead Data & AI Architect, Adacor Hosting & Exolink OCPP)
