Shakudo will be on-site at Ai4 2025, August 11–13, MGM Grand Las Vegas. Ai4 bills itself as North America’s largest AI industry event, founded in 2018 and still scaling fast. Last year’s conference drew roughly 5,000 people; this year the organizers project even more, with 600 speakers and 250-plus exhibitors. You can find this year's agenda here.‍

Is Ai4 actually worth it?

If you are evaluating AI strategy at enterprise scale, yes. Geoffrey Hinton and Fei-Fei Li headline the keynotes, joined by executives like Prashant Mehrotra (US Bank) and Kristin Milchanowski (BMO). Emmett Shear (ex OpenAI interim CEO) and Sunita Verma (Character AI CTO) are also slated. That mix of foundational researchers and operators gives you both vision and playbooks.‍

What is Ai4 Conference?

Think less “expo floor buzz” and more “full-stack AI summit for regulated industries.” Multiple tracks dive into sectors like healthcare and finance, plus a Research Summit for teams close to the metal. Sessions lean into architecture, governance, agents, and infra choices.‍

Where Shakudo fits in

Most leaders I speak with say some version of: “We want the upside of the open-source boom, but stitching hundreds of fast-moving tools together is a nightmare.” At the same time, compliance teams are pulling workloads back on-prem or into tighter VPC walls, while the business still demands visible ROI this quarter. Surveys back it up: 42 percent of orgs moved workloads off public cloud for control and compliance, and 91 percent of security leaders admit to compromise because of tool sprawl and poor visibility.‍

Shakudo’s Operating System for AI was built for exactly that tension. It runs in your cloud, bundles preconfigured adapters for best-in-class tools, automates the  DevOps, and bakes in versioning and policy enforcement so teams can move fast without governance panic. In short: less integration drag, fewer infra fire drills, faster delivery.‍
