This second annual conference will be a 3-day event in Grand Sheraton Seattle on 27-29 September. This year’s conference program is divided into four tracks to reflect the community’s interests in search, analytics, security, and observability, as these are the primary use cases for [OpenSearch](https://ubuntu.com/blog/what-is-opensearch). The free, one-day conference brings users, developers, and technologists across the OpenSearch Project together to explore real-world successes and new applications. ### Meet Canonical at OpenSearchCon [Canonical](https://opensearch.org/partners/canonical.html) is a proud member of the OpenSearch community and [actively participated in OpenSearchCon 2022](https://ubuntu.com/blog/canonical-opensearchcon). We are excited to participate in this year’s edition with a booth and two keynotes. [Book a meeting at the event](https://calendly.com/michelle-tabirao/opensearchcon-2023-seattle) ## Don’t miss our sessions Pedro Leão da Cruz, Engineering Manager at Canonical, will present OpenSearch’s vector capabilities, which can store embeddings generated by machine learning algorithms and are useful for Large Language Model (LLM) use cases. [Learn more about this talk](https://opensearch.org/events/opensearchcon/sessions/from-document-to-vector-using-opensearch-to-store-embedding-data.html). If you’re interested in this topic, you can also watch the webinar [Future-proof AI applications with OpenSearch as a vector database](https://ubuntu.com/engage/opensearch-ai-webinar). You’ll get insights to give your generative AI models a broader and deeper data pool with a suitable vector database. On the OpenSearch infrastructure side, Alastair Flynn will provision a cloud in under five minutes. The talk will explore the advantages of local deployment, testing, and evaluation of OpenSearch, emphasising the requirements for enterprise-grade deployments.

We are also amplifying the impact of projects like OpenSearch with two specific initiatives: [Charmed OpenSearch® Snap](https://snapcraft.io/opensearch) The Snap is an easy-to-use and secure OpenSearch® software package that can be used in any Linux environment. [Charmed OpenSearch® IAAS Operator](https://charmhub.io/opensearch) The Charmed OpenSearch Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) operator is used to automate the deployment, management, and orchestration of OpenSearch clusters on any infrastructure – including private clouds. #### **Looking for fully automated operations for OpenSearch?** [Contact us](https://ubuntu.com/data/opensearch#get-in-touch) ## Be part of the ‘search’ and open source innovation * Register now for the [OpenSearchCon 2023](https://opensearchcon2023.splashthat.com/)! * Join the [OpenSearch forums, community meetings, and community projects](https://opensearch.org/connect.html). * Stay informed  about our Canonical OpenSearch projects in [Mattermost](https://chat.charmhub.io/charmhub/channels/data-platform) and [Discourse](https://discourse.charmhub.io/). * The [Ubuntu community](https://ubuntu.com/community) covers a wide range of topics about operating systems and different open source technologies. ## Canonical AI Roadshow Hear about production-grade Large Language Models (LLMs) from raw data to model serving in one platform.
