​BEYOND THE NEXUS

​Build. Deploy. Scale. Connect.

​An AI & Technology Ecosystem Gathering by Vietnam AI Nexus

​From Demo to Production

​How Vietnamese AI Startups Control Model Cost and Reliability

​Building an AI demo is only the beginning. Bringing it into production means solving practical challenges across deployment, model costs, reliability, infrastructure, and user experience.

​Beyond the Nexus connects the technology stack with the people behind it. Through practical sessions covering AI agents, model routing, database infrastructure, and voice AI, participants will explore the building blocks of real-world AI products.

​More than a technical meetup, this gathering brings together AI builders, technology providers, businesses, investors, and ecosystem partners to exchange insights, discover relevant solutions, and explore potential collaborations.

​What You'll Get from Beyond the Nexus

​Beyond the sessions, your participation comes with opportunities, resources, and experiences designed to help you take your next step in the AI ecosystem.
