What makes OAI different

Built by practitioners.
For practitioners.

Nine hands-on workshops instead of vendor keynotes.

Tickets from $150 instead of a budget approval.

Atlanta instead of the same three zip codes.

Workshops

Nine half-day deep dives led by engineers from NVIDIA, AWS, Google, and Redis. Every session ships with code and slides. Bring a laptop.

Tickets

Student passes start at $150. Decision-maker passes are free. Group and repost discounts apply.

Atlanta

Cobb Galleria Centre. Two days of talks plus half-day workshops, with conference-rate hotels within walking distance.
