May Meetup Summary – 200 attend
May 8, 2025
Our May meetup was absolutely AMAZING!
Approximately 200 technologists and decision makers attended the event, we gave away more than 100 t-shirts and hats, and so much food and beverage was served we had some left over at the end, which almost never happens 🙂
Fidelity Investments was an incredible host, as always. A special thanks goes out to Justin Rackliffe, Vice President, Engineering Excellence and Kathleen Bentley, Head of Global Technology Experience & North Carolina Regional Leader for being onsite and overseeing everything.
Most importantly, the great Brent Laster delivered a wonderful hour-long presentation on “AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models”. It was substantive and jam-packed with applicable information and demos, something attendees really appreciated.
Brent’s slides can be found here.
The next ATO RTP meetup will take place Tuesday evening, June 10 at IBM’s RTP campus. The topic will be “Agentic AI for Developers and Data Scientists: Build an AI Agent in 10 Lines of Code and the Concepts Behind the Code”. William Hill from NVIDIA will be the speaker.
