GrafanaCON Local meetup: Toronto

A taste of [GrafanaCON](https://grafana.com/events/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! 🎟 Free to attend 🍕 Pizza + soft drinks provided 🤝 Built for connection 💡 Real talks from real practitioners **Agenda:** Exciting talks about Actually Useful AI *Note that by registering for this event you consent to related event & product communications from Grafana Labs and agree to our [code of conduct](https://grafana.com/events/events-code-of-conduct/).*
