Dat's content was one of the top rated sessions at Vector Space Day, so we're happy to bring it to you live, virtual, and globally for an interactive session.
Qdrant builders took Berlin by storm for Vector Space Day. It wasn't a conference, but instead a community launchpad. From incredible industry speakers, startup lightning talks, big prize giveaways, and a live DJ, the day was packed.
