Meet our first speakers 🎤

Dries Buytaert, founder and project lead of Drupal and Academy Member of the European Open Source Academy (EOSA), will sit down for a fireside chat in Davos.
Our keynote speaker Lena Fuhrimann will present A Practical Guide to Fast and Private LLMs. Her talk is about running your own AI, at home or at work: which model fits the job, how to make it faster, what hardware you need, and which software to run it on, all based on real setups.
