# 🍕 Lunch, Connect & Celebrate! 🥂 | Apsara Conference Amsterdam

by [RunMux Event](https://fde.amsterdam/communities/runmux-event)

## About this event

One gateway, one model family, one day in Amsterdam — join us for the European debut of the Apsara Conference.

🚀  First time in Europe. First time face to face.

On 29 October, the Apsara Conference — Alibaba Cloud's flagship AI gathering since 2009 — makes its European debut in Amsterdam. RunMux is joining Alibaba Cloud for the day, and we're turning it into a community meetup: one room, the RunMux team, and the people behind the Qwen model family.

RunMux × Alibaba Cloud, in short

RunMux is an AI acceleration gateway: unified, low-latency access to leading LLMs and video/image generation models for developers and creators. The Qwen model family is a core part of the lineup behind that gateway, running on Alibaba Cloud's AI-native infrastructure — one API in, production-grade Qwen out. This meetup is where that partnership meets the community face to face.
