AI-Powered Data Analytics Innovation with Vectors, Graphs and Intent
Ready to scale your RAG, AI workloads, and search? Join us Thursday 5th March 2026 on AWS TLV Floor 28 for a content-packed session in collaboration with AWS about using OpenSearch for AI-Powered Data Analytics and modern search methods: Semantic Search, S3 Vectors and GraphRAG.
Please register here: https://aws-experience.com/emea/tel-aviv/event/0c9fcbcd-8629-4e99-b4b0-fbca41b978c4
\* How to go beyond Keyword Search with OpenSearch
\* Modernizing Retrieval with Semantic Search and Query Intent Understanding
\* Hybrid search and Agentic RAG
\* Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG, and Neuro-Symbolic AI
\* Structured intelligence for GenAI
\* Amazon S3 Vectors for vector search at billion scale
Agenda:
**Beyond Keyword Search - Modernize Retrieval with Semantic Search and Beyond with OpenSearch,** Itamar Syn-Hershko, BigData Boutique
Explore how semantic search transforms information retrieval by understanding meaning and context rather than just matching keywords. Learn how OpenSearch's vector engine enables sub-second semantic search across billions of vectors combined with text-search, powering intelligent applications from recommendation engines to conversational search experiences. We'll also discuss sparse vs dense vector embeddings, using LLMs to derive and leverage query intent, and more.
**Unlocking Structured Intelligence for Generative AI with Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG and Neuro-Symbolic AI,** Baruch Assif Osoveskiy, AWS
Discover how knowledge graphs enhance Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) by providing structured, interconnected information for more accurate and explainable AI responses. Learn how GraphRAG combines the power of graph databases with large language models to deliver contextually rich, grounded answers.
**OpenSearch + Amazon S3 Vectors - Cost-Optimized AI-Ready Storage,** Roi Gamliel, AWS
Learn how Amazon S3 Vectors introduces native vector support at cloud scale, reducing storage and query costs by up to 90% compared to traditional vector databases. Discover how to store billions of vectors with sub-second query performance while leveraging S3's industry-leading durability and scalability.

Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence
**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence**
What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice?
In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst.
Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process.
This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices.
**Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti**
Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design.
Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast.
After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills.
In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development.
Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community.

It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
