MoCon 2023: A Day of Inspiration and Innovation

MoCon 2023, the inaugural conference by Momento, took place on August 3rd in Seattle, bringing together experts in serverless technology, AI, and caching. The event, held at T-Mobile Park, featured opening remarks by Momento co-founders Khawaja Shams and Daniela Miao, who announced the launch of the Momento Vector Index, a new serverless service aimed at simplifying vector database management. The conference included sessions focused on generative AI, vector databases, and embeddings, with a keynote by Alex Debrie that provided an engaging breakdown of generative AI components. Beyond the sessions, attendees participated in activities like a QR code scavenger hunt and interactive games. The event drew 160 attendees from 75 companies and was deemed a resounding success for the two-year-old startup. Looking forward, Momento plans to host a series of in-person meetups called Mo Meetups and aims to make MoCon an annual event, with plans already underway for 2024.
