Mon, Oct 21, 2024 · Matt Lutton

Whether or not you were able to join us in San Francisco for OpenSearchCon North America 2024, now is a fantastic time to review recordings of the sessions. In our first session spotlight we’re bringing you back to the kickoff of the conference on September 24, 2024.

The opening keynote for OpenSearchCon North America 2024 was given by Eli Fisher, Senior Manager of Project Management at AWS for OpenSearch, alongside two very special guests: Anupam Chaturvedi, Engineering Manager for Acrobat GenAI Services at Adobe, and Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation.

In this keynote Eli Fisher outlines the history of the OpenSearch Project, from inception to joining the Linux Foundation as the OpenSearch Software Foundation in September 2024. Anupam Chaturvedi also dives into the exciting use case of GenAI-assisted search in PDF documents at Adobe, enabled by the powerful vector search capabilities of OpenSearch. And, finally, Jim Zemlin makes the case for the bright future of open-source software and highlights the strength of partnering with projects like the OpenSearch Project.
