Step into an evening exploring how Generative AI is built and scaled with the real-world data using Elastic. Connect with builders, engineers, and curious minds as we dive into how search and AI come together to power smarter applications. Whether you’re experimenting or building in production, expect practical insights, live discussions, and meaningful community conversations. **What You’ll Explore:** * **Search as the Backbone of AI:** Understand how modern search infrastructure enables intelligent applications - from fast retrieval to real-time analytics using Elasticsearch. * **GenAI Meets Real Data:** Learn how to connect LLMs with enterprise data using techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector search, and semantic understanding. * **Designing for Scale & Reliability:** Discover practical approaches to building GenAI systems that are not just impressive demos - but production-ready, observable, and scalable. * **Turning Data into Impact:** See how structured and unstructured data come together to power meaningful AI-driven decisions and user experiences. **Speakers:** We’re currently curating an exciting lineup of speakers from the Elastic and broader AI ecosystem. Speakers will be announced soon — stay tuned! 👀 **Agenda:** A detailed agenda will be shared closer to the event date. For now, expect: * Insightful talks and demos * Interactive Q&A sessions * Networking with the community * Food, conversations, and good energy **Who Should Attend:** This meetup is designed for a wide range of participants: * Developers and engineers exploring GenAI or search * Builders working with LLMs, RAG, or vector databases * Anyone curious about how AI works with real-world data * Elastic users looking to deepen their understanding * Professionals interested in scalable AI system design No matter your experience level — if you’re interested in the intersection of AI and data, you’ll feel right at home. ​ **⚡️ Interested in giving a talk? ⚡️** ​ Have you ever considered presenting on your Elastic use case?
