CNCF X Elastic Meetup X Open Source Weekend – Gen AI Edition

📅 Date & Time: Saturday, 4th October 2025 · 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM IST

What’s this meetup about

Join us for a special Gen AI Edition of the CNCf, Elastic & Open Source Weekend — where the worlds of search, observability, security analytics, and generative AI converge. Whether you're just getting started, deep into Elastic, or exploring how open source & CNCF technologies power large-scale AI, this is the place for you.

We’ll explore how Elastic Stack is being used not just for search, but also:

• For retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows

• In real-world data pipelines, integrating GenAI

• To build secure, observable, and scalable systems

What you’ll experience

• Talks & Demos: Real-use case sessions exploring GenAI + Elastic + open source

• Hands-on Insights: See how retrieval, indexing, embeddings, search relevance, etc., come together

• Licensing Deep Dive: Special talk “Code is Free … But Is It Really? Let’s Talk Licenses” by Someshwaran Mohan Kumar

• Networking: Meet fellow builders, engineers, open‐source contributors, AI enthusiasts

Who should attend

• Developers, data engineers, and AI/ML practitioners interested in Elastic, CNCF, or GenAI

• Folks curious about how open source fits into AI workflows

• Anyone wanting to understand how search, data indexing, observability, and security play into modern AI systems

• Beginners as well as experts — everyone’s welcome!
