As AI moves from experimentation to deployment, developers are grappling with practical questions around infrastructure, performance and workflow design.
The shift is less about model access and more about how AI systems are built, tested and run in real environments, locally, at the edge, and in production contexts with real constraints.
An upcoming developer meetup—Dell x NVIDIA Developer Meetup: Powering the Next Wave of AI in association with AIM—is designed as a working session for builders, practitioners, and enterprise teams engaging with AI beyond proofs-of-concept.
The event focuses on applied perspectives, such as how AI development is unfolding across organisations and the trade-offs teams are making as they move from demos to deployment.
The meetup brings together Dell x NVIDIA leaders alongside customers and AI practitioners to discuss real-world problem statements, solution approaches, and patterns emerging across the AI and developer ecosystem.
For this invite-only event, registrations will be screened, and confirmed invitations will be sent to selected participants.
The meetup is designed for AI engineers, data scientists, data engineers and other professionals working with AI and machine learning.
📅 Date: January 17, 2026
⏰ Time: 11.00 am – 2.00 pm (Registration starts at 10.30 am)
📍 Venue: Dell 10, Crystal Downs, Off Intermediate Ring Rd,
Embassy Golf Links Business Park, Domlur, Bengaluru, Karnataka
Rather than centring on announcements, the emphasis is on shared learning from implementation: infrastructure choices, performance considerations and developer workflows that are evolving alongside new hardware and models.
A core element of the event is a product demonstration of the Dell Pro Max with GB10, offering participants a closer look at a compact, developer-focused AI system and the technologies underpinning it.
The demo is intended to ground discussions in concrete capability—how local AI development and inferencing can be approached in practice, and where such systems may fit within broader AI architectures.
The agenda is structured to balance context with experience. A keynote will frame the current direction of AI infrastructure and the developer ecosystem.
Customer sessions and AI practitioner sessions will focus on applied use cases and lessons from the field, followed by a fireside chat and closing discussion that connects these perspectives.
The event concludes with a networking lunch and hands-on product experience at the booth.
Overall, the meetup is designed to create space for direct, practitioner-led conversations, surfacing what teams are building today, the constraints they face, and how AI development is adapting as it moves closer to real-world deployment.
