About the event

The future of AI infrastructure, from the people building it.

Kelsey Hightower opens with a 45-minute fireside chat on where AI infrastructure is headed, what platform teams should build now, and which lessons from cloud native still apply.

From there, open source maintainers, infrastructure leaders, and practitioners working with AI in production come together for live conversations about what it actually takes to run inference at scale.

Viktor Farcic closes the event with Inference 101, bringing the pieces together and breaking down what platform engineers need to understand about this emerging infrastructure layer.

Every session is live. Bring your questions. They’ll answer them.
