Hosted in collaboration and partnership with Pinecone and Microsoft for Startups, this workshop will equip you to build robust applications with more knowledgeable AI.
Attendees can expect to gain practical, hands-on experience with deploying Pinecone’s vector database using Azure and the azd templates. By the end of the workshop, you will have successfully set up and run the template in your own Azure environments, equipping you with the knowledge to integrate these technologies into your own projects.
*** Please note ***
Tuesday's events are hosted back-to-back in the same space. Please indicate whether you’re joining for one or both events. We have more seats for the chat (90 spots) and fewer for the workshop (35 spots). Registering for both may affect your chances for the fireside chat alone.
This event is a part of #TechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
