Generative AI: Are we there yet?

Moving beyond the hype, this year's OpenCloud conference will dive into the maturity of the generative-AI driven computing landscape. Join us for an action-packed afternoon featuring:

 

  • Our annual OpenCloud report, which will analyze the industry’s gen-AI adoption curve and highlight emerging operational best practices for founders and CEOs;  

 

  • Databricks, GitHub and Glean discussing what it takes to drive meaningful adoption of AI apps and infrastructure in the enterprise; and

 

  • Buyers from Fidelity Investments and Memorial Hermann Health System sharing their insights from the other side of the table about building enterprise-grade, AI-powered products. 

 

The half-day conference will also feature sessions on the fundamentals of building enduring cloud-software companies, with industry leaders from ClickHouse, Harness, Netskope, Sigma, Vanta and Workato. We’ll dissect the design principles behind some of the industry’s fastest-growing and most-beloved products and discuss how to build high-performance teams in today’s volatile job market.

 

Come together with your peers, building the next generation of great OpenCloud companies in this exclusive, closed-door setting. We hope you can join us!
