There are more ways to build and run AI than ever. The harder question is which choices actually make it useful at scale.
Join Sean Blanchfield (Jentic) and Danilo Poccia (Nearform) for two practical perspectives on the technology behind production AI. Sean will explore the emerging platform architecture helping enterprises move beyond disconnected PoCs and enable employees to build, use and share AI agents and skills. Danilo will look at the rise of open-weight models, how capable they’ve become, and when running and customising your own models makes sense.
Together, they’ll cover the platform, infrastructure and model decisions shaping how organisations put AI to work.
Pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights included.
SPEAKERS:
Sean Blanchfield, Co-founder & CEO, Jentic The arrival of the multi-user agent operating system
Some enterprises are accelerating with AI while others still question whether it’s helping at all. Sean will look at how leading organisations are moving beyond disconnected PoCs and point solutions to build in-house platforms where employees can work with AI, and build and share their own agents and skills. He’ll examine the emerging architecture making this possible, and why getting the platform right matters far more than MCP.
Sean is CEO and Co-founder of Jentic, where he is building sovereign AI operating stacks for enterprises. A serial entrepreneur and engineer, he previously co-founded Demonware, the multiplayer technology company behind Call of Duty, acquired by Activision Blizzard.
Danilo Poccia, AI Solutions Director, Nearform We love open source. What about open-weight AI models?
Open-weight models are getting smaller, more capable and easier to run yourself. Danilo will look at where they stand today and what they offer around data residency, latency, customisation and cost, including how to run them on your own infrastructure.
Danilo is AI Solutions Director at Nearform, where he helps organisations turn emerging AI capabilities into practical solutions, with a focus on both technical and business impact. He is also the author of AWS Lambda in Action and has extensive experience helping teams adopt and build with new technologies.
