Description

Apache Iceberg is now the #1 open table format across enterprises. 58% of organizations use it for business-critical analytics, and 95% are deploying it for AI/ML workloads.

Meanwhile, the agentic AI market is surging past $10B in 2026 (43% YoY growth) — reshaping how organizations turn data into decisions, faster and at lower cost.

Join us for a focused business session in the first half, followed by hands on lab in the afternoon. Learn how leading companies are combining open data architectures with AI agents to reduce platform costs, eliminate vendor lock-in, and put real-time insights directly into the hands of business leaders
