Hello Weaviate friends, 🤗

Welcome to this week's edition of the Weaviate Newsletter! We’ve got some exciting events coming up and can’t wait to provide you with the latest and newest in AI.

Let's jump in!

AI Renaissance - The Grid edition

The Renaissance was a period of significant acceleration in science and medicine and a shift toward a more humanistic society, leaving the gloom of the Middle Ages behind—an era of new beginnings, innovation, and the rebirth of humanity.

In the AI Renaissance, artificial intelligence is used as a tool for humans, not to replace them, and accelerates progress in medicine, science, and society.

Join us in Berlin for the AI Renaissance: the Grid edition at the Merantix AI Campus.

We invite startups, AI builders, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in artificial intelligence to network and meet the AI scene.

Our event focuses on showcasing the state of AI building and the AI startup ecosystem. At the event, AI builders and startups share their experiences, tricks, and what they have built with AI.

Startups and AI builders can apply for dedicated demo stations for free. Reserve a spot and add your project to the registration form.

What is the Grid?

The Grid is a platform designed to enable networking and connections effortlessly.

Networking is an integral part of our events, so we'll help you meet and network at special themed, The Grid-accelerated spots that make it easy to start your conversation. The Grid helps you share your connection profile and helps you build your network, icebreakers included.
