Tech Talk: Vector Databases & RAG
Speaker: Sean Patterson (Google)
Abstract: Unlock the power of your enterprise data with vector databases and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This presentation will demystify how vector databases enable semantic similarity search, providing the foundation for accurate and context-aware AI applications. Discover how RAG leverages these databases to ground generative AI models in your proprietary knowledge, delivering relevant and reliable responses. Learn how this approach offers a practical and efficient pathway for enterprises to adopt generative AI, transforming raw data into actionable insights and a competitive advantage.

Tech Talk: How to build an agentic workflow
Speaker: Karl Goeltner (Orkes)
Abstract: Managing complex workflows in autonomous systems poses significant challenges as they scale. This talk explores strategies for optimizing agent-based architectures, where multiple agents interact and adapt in dynamic environments. Key topics include: 1) Distributed decision-making and coordination; 2) Bottlenecks; 3) Adaptive workflow reconfiguration and resilience; and 4) Real-world applications.
