At Building AI Experiences: The Unique Engineering, UX, and Privacy Challenges, you’ll hear from Ștefania Budulan, AI Technology Lead at Adobe Romania, as she explores what really happens when AI moves from proof-of-concept to production.

🎤 Building AI Experiences: What Breaks Between the Demo and Production

While AI demos can be impressive, creating AI experiences that users trust and organizations can operate at scale requires much more than a successful prototype.

Drawing on real-world experience with RAG applications, recommender systems, forecasting models, and AI-powered assistants, Ștefania will share practical lessons from deploying AI in production environments and discuss challenges such as:

✅ Data quality and reliability
✅ Evaluation and performance measurement
✅ Explainability and transparency

The best ideas don’t happen in isolation, they happen when people connect.

Events like “No Data, No AI” remind us that beyond technology, innovation is driven by conversations, shared experiences, new perspectives, and the communities we build together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed, networked, and made this event such a meaningful experience. ✨

At our recent event, Satellite Communication: Redefining How the World Connects, we had the opportunity to hear from inspiring leaders such as Samah Khamis and Mª Esperanza Alcázar Viguera, alongside other experts shaping the future of telecommunications, satellite communications, and network innovation.

What stood out wasn’t that they were women in tech, it was the expertise, leadership, and vision they brought to a conversation about technologies that will define how the world connects in the years ahead.

The telecom and satellite industries need more visible role models and diverse perspectives. If you’ve ever been curious about what powers the networks we rely on every day or how satellites are becoming part of mobile communications, this is an industry worth discovering.

Here's what Raluca Caraza, Senior Manager, Group Integrated Delivery, Vodafone wants you to know on this topic.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Satellite Communication: Redefining How the World Connects.

What made this event truly special was not only the technology discussions, but also the feeling in the room — at times, it felt more like a cozy reunion of an industry that is deeply connected through years of collaboration, innovation, and shared challenges.

Throughout the evening, we reflected on how this industry started, how far telecommunications and connectivity have evolved over the years, and how conversations that once sounded futuristic are now becoming reality. It gave us all confidence that even the boldest and most optimistic scenarios for global connectivity may be closer than we think — and that the near future is actively being shaped by many of the people present in that room.

One idea that stood out repeatedly was how much we all rely on connectivity every single day, often taking it for granted. Listening to the people building these technologies offered a fascinating perspective on what connectivity truly means behind the scenes, how incredibly complex these systems are, and how much innovation, engineering, and collaboration make seamless communication possible worldwide.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing speakers and panelists:
• Samah Khamis — Global Head of NSE-VOIS, Vodafone International Services – Networks
• Nicolae Vilceanu — Network Director, Vodafone Romania
• Ileana Petrisor — Software Development Director, Lenovo
• Vlad Cretu — VP Mobile Access, Core & VAS, Sunrise Switzerland
• Maria Esperanza Alcazar — Vodafone Technology Networks Strategy & Architecture
• Cristian Macarencu — Europe Center Executive, Transformation & Governance Senior Manager, VOIS
• Raluca Caraza — Moderator

So many valuable insights, honest conversations, and inspiring perspectives. Thank you all for making this such a memorable event.

We’re excited to welcome Maria Esperanza Alcazar as one of the panel speakers joining us on May 28.

With more than 30 years of experience in Radio Access Networks, Esperanza has been at the forefront of some of the telecom industry’s most important technology milestones — from early 3G network evolution and Single RAN transformation projects to the introduction of 5G NSA/SA architectures.

Today, at Vodafone Technology Networks Strategy and Architecture, she leads cross-functional initiatives focused on integrating satellite mobile communications and AST SpaceMobile into Vodafone networks, helping shape the future of seamless global connectivity.

Passionate about space technology and its real-world impact, Esperanza brings a unique perspective on how satellite communications are evolving from niche innovation into a critical component of next-generation mobile networks.

In this session, you’ll gain insights into the challenges and opportunities behind satellite-mobile integration, the evolution of network architectures enabling future connectivity, and how space-based communications could transform the way people and industries stay connected worldwide.
