SUMMARY:From Search to AI: Building Smarter Applications with Elastic & Gen
 AI
LOCATION:The Wharf Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 31% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nAI applications are only as good as the data behind them.
  Join us for an evening exploring how modern teams are using search\, retr
 ieval\, and GenAI to build intelligent experiences powered by real-world d
 ata. ​\n\nWhether you’re experimenting with LLMs\, building RAG pipelines\
 , or looking beyond AI demos into production systems\, this meetup brings 
 together developers and builders working at the intersection of search and
  AI. ​\n\nConnect with the local community\, hear practical stories from t
 he field\, and explore how Elastic helps bridge the gap between raw data a
 nd intelligent applications. ​\n\nWhat You’ll Explore: ​\n\nThe Search Lay
 er Behind Modern AI: See why search has become a key building block for AI
  applications and how retrieval\, relevance\, and indexing shape better us
 er experiences.\n​RAG\, Vector Search & LLM Workflows: Learn how teams are
  connecting language models with enterprise and application data using mod
 ern retrieval techniques. ​\nBuilding AI Systems That Scale: Go beyond pro
 totypes and explore practical approaches for creating systems that are rel
 iable\, observable\, and ready for production environments. ​\nTurning Dat
 a Into Intelligent Experiences: Understand how structured and unstructured
  data can work together to create smarter products\, workflows\, and appli
 cations. ​\n\nLocation: ​The Wharf Hotel Melbourne - Portside Room. 18/38 
 Siddeley St\, Docklands ​\n\nAgenda: ​\n- 16:00 Arrivals & Networking Drin

 Why your AI is lying to you and how you can fix it - Mike Calizo\\\, Custo
 mer Architect\n- 17.15 Speaker 3: Customer Use Case presented by Insignia 
 and Elastic\n- 17:30 Networking Drinks\n- 18:00 Farewell Comments\n\nWho S
 hould Attend: ​\nThis meetup is designed for a wide range of participants:
  ​\n\nDevelopers and engineers exploring GenAI or search ​\nBuilders worki
 ng with LLMs\, RAG\, or vector databases ​\nAnyone curious about how AI wo
 rks with real-world data\n​Elastic users looking to deepen their understan
 ding ​\nProfessionals interested in scalable AI system design ​\n\nNo matt
 er your experience level — if you’re interested in the intersection of AI 
 and data\, you’ll feel right at home. ​​\n\nInterested in giving a talk?\n
 Have you ever considered presenting on your Elastic use case? We welcome l
 ightning talks of 5-10 minutes\, 45-minute deep dives\, and everything in 
 between. If you're interested\, please submit via our CFP or email us at k
