List of talks I'm either giving or going to, the schedules of which I post here as part of my [[Open Invitation]]. If you're up to join for a talk I'm attending, feel free to reach out. ## 2025 #### Most Recent Talks Given: Tues, Mar 4: **Chapter Day** 150 person talk to my former engineering chapter, on building reliable LLM workflows, with highlights on the project I'm running for an APAC office. A mixture of system design, performance and current results, and future directions as we expand the project to other global offices. Tue, Mar 25: **Clearing Grid** On-stage auditorium talk to all global engineering teams (All IT-Staff US UK NL BR and Romania Offices). About 220 engineers. I had 40 minutes for this one so decided to expand the strategy and future directions component of my previous talk -- topic was Global AI Research Directions for AACB. ![[Pasted image 20250421230042.png]] Thurs, June 5: **AI Engineering Worlds Fair** Talk at AIEWF 2025—the world’s largest technical conference for AI engineers—where I'll be speaking about **“The Voice-First AI Overlay,”** showing how sub-second speech-to-speech loops and large-context LLMs can now enable and assist human-to-human calls in real time (without actually joining the call as a participant). <div style="position:relative;width:100%;padding-top:56.25%; /* 9 / 16 = 0.5625 */"> <iframe src="https://aiewf-gregorybruss.replit.app/?v=2025" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:none;" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen ></iframe> </div> #### Yearly Overview ### 2025 #### January Tues, Jan 28: [Startup Valley in Amsterdam](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tech-networking-event-by-startup-valley-in-amsterdam-tickets-1123670250969) Wed, January 29: [AI on the Amstel: GenAI and Outdated Tech Stacks](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/january-ai-on-the-amstel-meetup-gen-ai-and-messyoutdated-tech-stacks-tickets-1110662905649?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&_gl=1*x0lsnu*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTA2OTc1MjExOS4xNzM0MDAwMDYz*_ga_TQVES5V6SH*MTczNDAwMDA2Mi4xLjAuMTczNDAwMDA2Mi4wLjAuMA..)
