Topic:
AI on Your Machine: .NET, AI Foundry Local, and Zero Cloud Guilt by Alec Harrison
What if you could build modern AI features without sending every prompt to the cloud—or paying per token? This session dives into AI Foundry Local and shows how .NET developers can run models locally, integrate them into real applications, and keep both data and budgets under control. Perfect for developers who want AI power without cloud dependency.

Together, we'll navigate the messy middle working to bring alignment across your organization to help you drive innovation, create impact and unlock the transformative growth you know is possible.
