| Building a Center of Excellence for AI: A strategic approach to enterprise AI adoption | AI adoption often starts with scattered experiments, but scaling it across the enterprise requires structure, governance, and the right people. In this session, we’ll explore how to set up a Center of Excellence for AI that drives strategy, ensures compliance, and accelerates value creation. You’ll learn about the key roles, operating models, and technical foundations needed, as well as a practical phased approach to build and grow an AI CoE in 18 months. Packed with real-world lessons and pitfalls to avoid, this talk will help you transform AI from ad-hoc projects into a sustainable, enterprise-wide capability. | Hidde de Smet |
| Getting started with AI by using GitHub Models | Often people do not know how to get started with AI, especially since a lot of the options mean spinning up some resources on Azure or another service, which means there are costs associated with it. GitHub Models gets you started with Generative AI for Free! Learn where to start and how to progress to more advanced scenarios. Especially suited of people that want to make sense of what the heck this AI thing is! Come learn from real examples of working with text or converting documents into text so you can work with large language models to extract information out of them. |

| Scaling Content Creation: How AI Tools Solved My Data Challenge | Reinier recently created a news gathering website, and he'll take you through the process, which was a bumpy road as always. He shares his approach, what he ran into, and how he solved it. The website is gathering content from 60 RSS feeds, analyzing the content and creating structured articles and metadata. Especially the weekly roundups were quite a challenge, given the amount of data that's collected in 1 week. Join him for insights on how tools like GitHub Copilot Chat, GitHub Models, Coding Agent and Azure OpenAI can help you generate news-like content, especially when the amount of data increases! |

| Building responsible AI content generation pipelines with GitHub Actions and Prompty | Let's build a simple, effective content creation pipeline using GitHub Issues, GitHub Actions, Prompty, and LLMs! You'll learn to responsibly handle AI-generated output and the importance of human input for high-quality content. This session is ideal for those who enjoy using LLMs for writing but are cautious about fully trusting AI like ChatGPT. Expect practical insights and a live demo on applying these techniques to your projects. Feel free to copy my code to start your own project. | Matthijs van der Veer |
