+## Introduction
+The goal of Beam Summit is to connect a community of professionals around the world who use, contribute, and are learning Apache Beam. 
+This annual conference provides space to share use cases, performance, and resource optimizations, discuss pain points, and 
+talk about the benefits of implementing Apache Beam in organizations. The event aims to bring together the Apache Beam community to 
+discuss the project’s status, its technical advances, and its future.
+
+Contents are focused on sharing:
+- New use cases from companies using Apache Beam.
+- Community-driven talks.
+- Technical deep dives.
+- In-depth workshops.
+
+At the beamsummit conference, Beamstack was introduced and launched as an open-source framework aimed at facilitating the deployment of Machine Learning and GenAI workflow pipelines with Apache Beam on Kubernetes. Beamstack was introduced by MavenCode ML Engineers and Product managers in 2 separeate presentations. 
+
+- The first presentation titled **"Beamstack: An Open source Framework for running Machine Learning Pipelines with Apache Beam"** delivered by **Olufunbi Babalola** and **Mathew Fait** introduced beamstack, the product roadmap, how to use beamstack and a call for participation.
+- The second presentation titled **"A Low Code Structured Approach to Deploying Apache Beam ML Workloads on Kubernetes using Beamstack"** delivered by **Charles Adetiloye** and **Nate Salawe** discussed a low code structured approach to deploying apache beam ML workloads on Kubernetes using Beamstack

+- Call for Participation
+
+
+### Overview of Beamstack
+Beamstack is an open-source framework currently under development, aimed at facilitating the deployment of Machine Learning 
+and GenAI workflow pipelines with Apache Beam on Kubernetes. Beamstack provides a robust Command Line Interface (CLI) that can potentially reduce 
+pipeline deployment complexity and timelines drastically. It also possesses great monitoring and visualization features.  
+
+### Why do you need Beamstack?
+{{< imgproc why Fit "2542x842" >}}
+{{< /imgproc >}}
+- **Configurable Deployment Environment**: With minimal steps you can setup Beamstack on your local minikube, bare metal or cloud infrastructure
+- **Ease of Deployment with Beam Low-code YAML**: Beamstack adopts a low-code approach towards pipeline deployment which makes the process easier and faster
+- **Composable and Reusable Pipeline Components**: Reusable pipeline components designed for easy composition and customization, enabling efficient workflow creation and deployment.
+- **Collaborative Setup for Development Teams**: Beamstack’s modular architecture facilitates collaborative setup’s for various technical teams within an organization

+
+- **Install the binary**: Install the beamstack binary from the releases section on the beamstack Github repository
+- **Configre the target environment**: Beamstack initializes your target kubernetes cluster with the necessary components
+- **Select YAML package to deploy**: Run and deploy your YAML pipeline by running the beamstack deploy command
+- **Monitor your running jobs**: Open the grafana dashboard or runner UI to observe your running jobs
