In today's events industry, personalization isn't just a buzzword - it's the key to creating meaningful experiences for each attendee. In this architecture and development session, I'll show you how we're actually using AI (not just talking about it 😉) to make events better for everyone involved. I'll take you through our journey of implementing Microsoft Semantic Kernel and LLMs to develop intelligent agents for run.events. No marketing fluff - we'll dive deep into real-world scenarios where we analyze attendees' interests, session participation, and professional background to enable practical personalization features like: * Smart matchmaking that actually makes sense * Targeted expo recommendations * Intelligent meeting scheduling * Personalized agenda suggestions We'll cover: * The tech stack we chose and why (including what didn't work) * Architecture decisions and lessons learned * Live examples from run.events (because theory is nice, but seeing is believing) Join me for a no-nonsense look at how to actually use AI to create better networking experiences. Whether you're writing code, organizing events, or just curious about practical AI applications, you'll walk away with concrete knowledge about implementing intelligent personalization in the real world.

Can Europe AI? You have probably heard about "Le Chat", and AI chat similar in its functionality to ChatGPT or Claude.ai. But, Mistral AI, French company behind "Le Chat" has much more to offer, and at the moment, together with German DeepL, it is the best what Europe has to offer in the AI arena. Also, Mistral AI is committed to open-source development and has released several models under open-source licenses, which makes it a competitor not only to Open AI and Anthropic, but also to DeepSeek and Meta's Llama. This will be a deep dive session into Mistral: it's capabilities, it's lovely French quirks, and how can you make the use of it. In this session we will discuss: - Mistral AI basics - Hosting and consuming Mistral AI (Mistral APIs, Azure AI, self-hosting) - Using Microsoft tech stack (Semantic Kernel and Microsoft AI Extensions) to work with Mistral AI - Real life example of using Mistral AI within a product development on the example of run.events À bientôt!
