October 2024 [At the edge of CS]

Join the season opening Patras Tech Talk Meetup on Tuesday, October 15! The event comprises two exciting talks, open discussion, ample networking, and more!

The first presentation will focus on the challenges of edge computing, by showing some real-world use cases from the customer portfolio of Spectro Cloud and the way the company uses the CNCF sandboxed project Kairos (kairos.io) to tackle them.

As we move beyond a golden era for software engineers and computer scientists, recent advancements in Generative AI (GenAI) present new challenges. How are these developments reshaping the skills we need? What are the implications for the future of our profession? The second talk explores the evolving landscape of tech, the potential shifts in required expertise, and how we can stay prepared to thrive in this rapidly changing environment.
