GrafanaCON Local meetup: Toronto - Actually Useful AI
Centre for Social Innovation - Spadina, 192 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON, CAA taste of GrafanaCON is coming to you!
Join your local observability community for an evening of open source inspiration, real-world stories, and meaningful connections - all in a laid-back, meetup-style setting.
This event will feature a recap of the GrafanaCON keynote, combined with fresh voices from your own community with an AI twist.
There is so much noise these days about AI. Actually, isn’t everything about AI these days? We'll be focusing on actually useful uses of AI in the observability space, and how to add observability in your organization for all things people do with AI. You’ll walk out with best practices that you can apply wherever you work, or for your own use cases, especially since running AI workloads costs so much on many levels.
Whether you’re building dashboards, scaling Kubernetes, contributing to open source, or just getting started - this meetup is for you!
