CV Spotlight: Weights & Biases Fully Connected 2025
Fully Connected 2025 is right around the corner!
Weights & Biases is bringing the AI community back together June 17-18, 2025, at Convene in San Francisco. This year’s theme is taking your agentic AI applications from prototype to production, with insights from leaders building at the forefront of AI. It’s shaping up to be an incredible two days of learning, building, and connecting.
The conference will bring together a day of hands-on workshops led by Weights & Biases AI experts and 20+ speakers from leading companies like Adobe, Meta, Pinterest, and Snowflake. Featured sessions include talks from Weights & Biases co-founders, Google’s VP of Product for AI and Compute Enablement, CEO at Windsurf (formerly Codeium) and many more impactful leaders.
Expect talks on emerging topics such as scaling AI inference, building production-ready agents, synthetic data generation, establishing guardrails, and training models at scale. Whether you’re refining an early prototype or pushing an agent into production, there’s something here for every AI builder and researcher.
Tickets are on sale now, and they’re moving fast. If you’re planning to attend, be sure to reserve your spot soon — and don’t forget to use promo code CV2025 for 20% off. Weights & Biases is excited to connect with familiar faces (and new ones!) this June in San Francisco.

Join us for a webinar featuring Abdullah Haydar, Director of Engineering at LinkedIn and a renowned leader in Enterprise Productivity. With experience at Intel, Amazon, AAA, and major startups, Abdullah brings a unique front-line perspective on the hidden shifts reshaping engineering work.
Whether you're an engineering leader or a developer passionate about the future, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on:
Why are the biggest bottlenecks in engineering not about writing code, and how can we tackle the overlooked “hidden tax” of collaboration, integration, and bureaucracy that come with extra productivity?
Why top engineering teams are measuring productivity in radically new ways, beyond code lines and pull requests.
How code generation tools redistribute, not eliminate, work, requiring fresh skills in design, integration, and communication that most engineers never expected.
The surprising role communication and language play, and how AI-powered documentation is quietly leveling the global playing field.
Real stories from LinkedIn and others about bleeding-edge adoption and early mistakes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to future-proof your engineering practices and stay ahead in an AI-driven world.
