The Blueprint for Scalable AI

Overcoming AI Inference Bottlenecks

As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, the challenge has shifted from model training to delivering inference at speed and scale. Yet many organizations face a critical—and often overlooked—obstacle: data bottlenecks that undermine performance and ROI.

Despite the power of today’s GPUs, up to 70% of their capacity can sit idle, waiting for data. The result? Latency, frustrated users, and rising infrastructure costs.

At this exclusive executive roundtable, we’ll explore how to overcome these infrastructure barriers and unlock real-time AI performance. Discover how high-performance storage and low-latency I/O are reshaping the AI stack—ensuring your systems deliver insights instantly, efficiently, and at scale.

Join us in London on September 24th for a private gathering of AI and technology leaders. Together with experts from WEKA and NVIDIA, we’ll explore how the next-gen AI stack is being reimagined—from accelerating KV cache performance to enabling real-time agents and ultra-large model inference. Learn how the Blackwell-powered NVIDIA GB200 platform, combined with the WEKA Data Platform, is delivering blazing-fast, token-optimized AI across enterprise environments.

Why attend?

  • Learn how to efficiently scale AI workloads with NVIDIA GB200 and the WEKA Data Platform.
  • Understand why KV cache offload to ultra-low-latency storage is key to accelerating inference.
  • Explore token-optimized architectures that cut infrastructure costs without sacrificing speed.
  • Discover how to eliminate I/O bottlenecks and drive GPU utilization to 90% and beyond.

This exclusive roundtable offers a rare opportunity to rethink your AI strategy and future-proof your infrastructure. Join us in the heart of London for a high-level discussion on building the foundation for the next era of AI.
