Call for Participation – Advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation Bootcamp

About the event
This bootcamp builds on Vector’s first RAG Bootcamp by moving beyond foundational concepts into advanced enterprise Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) challenges. Participants will learn how to handle complex documents, tables, multi-source queries, and dynamic content using advanced techniques such as query rewriting, hybrid indexing, evidence validation, multi-stage retrieval, agentic retrieval, and GraphRAG. Through hands-on learning, participants will evaluate the tradeoffs between retrieval quality, grounded responses, compute cost, latency, engineering effort, and data context while developing production-ready enterprise RAG solutions.
