The AI Guild GmbH has built customer relationships with DAX, Euronext, and NYSE corporates, startup unicorns, and the broader professional community. We achieved revenue, created paid professional opportunities, and ran the first #datalift Summit in Berlin.

The AI Guild community has 2000+ members, most of whom are Senior data professionals in tech, product, and business.

This third annual letter

  1. Highlights the unifying theme of use cases in production, thanking the 70+ members that contributed directly.
  2. Presents the focus for 2023 and shows you how to contribute individually.
  3. Suggests that your company build a relationship with the AI Guild.

Use Cases in Production in 2022

The AI Guild has worked with practitioners and companies in three main ways.

  1. Technical implementation: Evaluation of company use cases, blueprint implementation, and the orchestration of deployment infrastructures.
  2. Team building: Establishing production-ready teams with recruiting, training, and onboarding.
  3. Professional exchange: Coordinating the #datalift event series on use cases in production and related topics like data platform, deployment, and team competence.

For the #datalift Summit speakers and moderators, we tracked 16+ countries of residence. We also counted 36 women and 49 men. Here is a breakdown by numbers.

#datalift Summit 2023

The next #datalift Summit is in Berlin from Wednesday, 14 to Friday, 16 June 2023. The AI Guild is again looking for sponsors, speakers, and moderators.

When does it make sense for your company to sponsor the #datalift Summit?

  • Your company is recruiting a lot, especially Senior, Leads, and Directors.
  • Your team has deployed data analytics and ML use cases in production.
  • Your company is a solution provider for productionizing use cases.

Do you want to speak at the #datalift Summit?

You have three options for contributing in 2023

  1. Show use cases in production.
  2. Run a 3-hour workshop on technologies and practices relevant to use cases.
  3. Deliver a keynote on data platforms, teams, and deployment.

Tickets are available. You or your company can purchase up to 5 tickets with no risk (it is refundable up to 30 days before the event).

Ten early adopters for an all-European solution

The AI Guild GmbH will start working towards an all-European Minimum-Viable-Platform for use case productionization. We are taking expressions of interest from companies.

Becoming an early adopter makes sense for your company if you believe that

  • Timing Now is the right moment to scale use cases for Machine Learning and Data Analytics.
  • Impact Building your globally competitive teams in Europe is accelerated.
  • Regulatory Advantage Having a best-in-class solution compliant with regulation is a competitive advantage.

How you can contribute as an AI Guild member

With 2000+ members, you can still contribute individually. Three ways in which you can make a difference in 2023.

  1. Host a local event at your company offices, with an opportunity to showcase use cases and recruit.
  2. Share your experience via a video interview or by writing about a use case. We support you with services like co-writing, editing, and publishing via the AI Guild, e.g., on LinkedIn, Medium, and theguild.ai
  3. Build the company hands-on by joining the AI Guild GmbH team and investing in shareholding from September 2023 onwards.
