  • Cost: $500 for individuals  |  $1,500 for teams of 4

"The lab demo and discussions were phenomenal."

"All of the context setting data was fantastic, the coding example work was also very helpful."

Building an enterprise application using current available LLMs can introduce security and privacy risks. Maintaining data privacy is a crucial step while building generative AI applications.

In this workshop you will learn to build using open source and self-hosted LLMs while maintaining data privacy. You'll learn about the best open-source LLMs for different use cases and domains that leverage fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and RAG.

As industries adapt to take advantage of AI, businesses around the world are realizing that AI implementation will soon be essential to remain competitive and up-to-date.

Business leaders face the biggest challenge of not knowing how to begin. This workshop, exclusively for executives, directors, and decision-makers, has been designed to help them come up with concrete next steps to create a roadmap for incorporating AI into their businesses.
