A WEKA meetup for the people who build AI infrastructure.

## Why attend

## Step off the show floor

Join WEKA on the Terra Rooftop for four relaxed hours with the people who build, run, and scale AI and HPC infrastructure across the UAE and the wider region. Food and drinks are included.

- Short talks from practitioners
- Food, drinks, and open networking on the rooftop
- No booth, no demo theatre, no pitch

### How the evening works

You’ll hear two or three short talks of about 20 minutes in total. The rest of the night is yours. Grab a drink, find the people working on the same problems, and talk honestly about what isn’t working in your AI and HPC pipelines.

### Who’s in the room

AI, storage, and infrastructure professionals who build this stuff every day. Everyone in the room builds or runs AI infrastructure, so the conversation starts at the hard part.

### Built to keep going

**Above the Noise: WEKA After Gitex Meetup 2026** is our own meetup series for AI, storage, and infrastructure professionals. Each evening is designed to leave a community behind, so you’ll know who to call the next time you hit a wall.
