Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming integral tools for businesses, and a new conference aims to unpack how companies can best leverage their potential. Dubbed “LLMs im Unternehmen” – or “LLMs in Business” – the online event, scheduled for March 19th, will focus on the practical applications of these powerful AI systems, including how they’re evolving beyond simple text processing.
The shift towards “Agentic AI” is a key theme. This approach allows LLMs to tackle complex tasks by working in concert with other tools, automating workflows and boosting efficiency. According to conference materials, these advancements are being coupled with the rise of “multimodal models,” which can process not only text but also images, tables, and other data formats. This expanded capability promises more accurate and comprehensive data extraction than traditional text-based methods.
The conference, organized by iX and dpunkt.verlag, will delve into the specifics of how these technologies are being implemented. Attendees will learn about how AI agents can capture over work processes, how LLMs can assist in data extraction, and strategies for efficiently running these models within a company’s own data center. LLMs im Unternehmen offers a detailed program outlining the sessions.
Key Topics to be Covered
The conference agenda covers a range of critical areas for businesses exploring LLMs. Sessions will address:
- Large Language Models – Introduction and Trends
- Multimodal Extraction Pipelines for Complex Documents
- Practical Experience with Productive Self-Hosting of AI Clusters
- Data Privacy when Using LLMs
- A “Reality Check” on LLMs
- Stable Agents with Large Language Models
Hands-on Workshop Available
For those seeking a deeper dive, a follow-up online workshop, “Große Sprachmodelle feintunen” – or “Fine-tuning Large Language Models” – will be held on March 24th. This workshop provides an opportunity to refine and customize LLMs for specific business needs.
