A Tour of South Downtown
Katalyst Street and NeuAlto cordially invite you to an engaging pre-KubeCon event:
"A Tour of South Downtown"
This is not a standard networking event. It is a curated dialogue that connects the critical business challenge of building trustworthy AI to a tangible, unfolding vision of urban transformation.
Your Experience:
Part 1: A Tour of South Downtown (60 mins)
We will embark on a guided tour of Atlanta's most ambitious urban redevelopment: South Downtown ATL (https://www.southdowntownatl.com/)— an incredible effort to reimagine a historic district into a resilient, modern hub for innovation.
As we walk, you may draw direct and compelling parallels between revitalizing a city's core and rebuilding your enterprise's data ecosystem. This living case study may bring abstract principles to life, exploring questions like:
How do you assess structural integrity and cleanse decades of legacy data while maintaining daily business operations?
How do you identify and fortify "architectural vulnerabilities"—be they in crumbling infrastructure or porous data pipelines—to create a resilient, future-proof asset?
This tour can be a physical metaphor for the mission of the architects and engineers who transform complex, legacy systems into a trusted, high-integrity platform for AI-driven innovation.
Part 2: Networking & Expert-Led Discussion
Following the tour, we will host a curated discussion with beverages (to aid recovery from the walk) at the adjacent Wild Leap Brewery. This is a forum to debate, share challenges, and discuss solutions with your peers on the front lines of AI implementation.
Why This Foundation Matters Now:
The dialogue will be grounded in the non-negotiable pillars of AI success:Data Quality is the Bedrock: Without clean, reliable, and well-governed data, even the most advanced AI models will produce flawed, untrustworthy outcomes. It is the literal foundation upon which intelligence is built.
Cybersecurity is the Enforcement of Trust: Protecting data and algorithms ensures the safety, integrity, and compliance of intelligent systems. As security expert Bruce Schneier said, "Security is not a product, but a process"—and in AI, that process is what safeguards your investment.
The urgency is real. A recent study by the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute found that as few as 250 malicious documents can create a "backdoor" vulnerability in a large language model, proving that without a secure foundation, scale alone is not protection.
Logistics:
Space is severely limited to ensure a quality experience. Please RSVP at your earliest convenience.
Attendees will be confirmed by noon on Friday, November 7th.
Location: Wild Leap Brewing - All of this is a stones throw from the KubeCon conference.
