We want the community to have more excuses to come together in real life. For this we have Local Champions that lead in their city to create activities and initiatives that can bring the local MLOps community together for an event.
One of the main points of the MLOps community events are that we don't need to create a huge production with talks and speakers and rented venues. I think most of us would be just as happy to share tea together at a quiet cafe or have lunch in the park talking about the latest news in the MLOps world or reviewing a recently released paper.
We are all about the low production cost gathering style. Don’t let anything stop you from bringing together the people in your area to chat MLOps and get to know each other. At this time one of the coolest things is that there aren't many of us!
If you would like to become a local champion in your city please reach out to @Demetrios Brinkmann and he will help make it happen!
