More about the Talks:

Talk #1: Building a multi-platform data foundation for ML & Analytics: Learn how ProSiebenSat.1, a pioneer in German media and entertainment, build an effective open Lakehouse using Databricks and Snowflake. Moreover, we demonstrate how leveraging Apache Iceberg as an open table format enables ProSiebenSat.1 to maintain a single source of truth across multiple platforms, accelerates AI/ML initiatives and reduces operational cost and complexity.
Talk #2: Ray-sing Hell: The power of Ray to building a multi-graph ML model ecosystem: We will share Ramblr's insights on using the Ray framework for cost-efficient and scalable inference with multiple ML model graphs for a variety of applications.
With a focus on Ray Serve, we will go from Ray Serve basics through production-level deployment and efficient GPU usage over to the details of hosting a Ray-Cluster on Kubernetes.
