The Vector Search Conference is an online event on June 6 I thought could be helpful for developers, data engineers, and AI enthusiasts on HN to connect with other members of the vector search community. It’s a free opportunity to connect and learn from other professionals in your field if you’re interested in building RAG apps or scaling recommendation systems.

Event features:

- Experts from Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Qdrant, Manticore Search, Weaviate sharing real-world applications, best practices, and future directions in high-performance search and retrieval systems

- Presentations for all skill levels

- Live Q&A to engage with industry leaders and virtual networking

A few of the presenting speakers:

- Gunjan Joyal (Google): “Indexing and Searching at Scale with PostgreSQL and pgvector – from Prototype to Production”

- Maxim Sainikov (Microsoft): “Advanced Techniques in Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Azure AI Search”

- Ridha Chabad (Oracle): “LLMs and Vector Search unified in one Database: MySQL HeatWave's Approach to Intelligent Data Discovery”

If you can’t make it but want to learn from experience shared in one of these talks, sessions will also be recorded. Free registration can be checked out at (https://vsearchcon.com/register/) - hope you learn something from the event!
