Data + AI Summit is a major gathering for teams building AI on real data, from data engineering and analytics to LLMs, agents and production platforms.
For 2026, the strongest signals will likely come from agentic applications, governance, lakehouse architecture, observability and how companies scale AI beyond pilots.
Who it is for
The summit is especially relevant to data engineers, ML and AI teams, platform architects and governance owners. It connects the data layer with models, making it useful for understanding the problems between an experiment and a stable service.
What to watch
Look for concrete approaches to data quality, agent evaluation, permissions and cost. It is also worth checking whether a solution works beyond one vendor's ecosystem and how it handles migration, monitoring and access control.
How to use online access
With a large agenda, select one track and prepare a list of questions. After each session, record not only the feature but the problem it solves, its deployment requirements and the degree of platform dependency it introduces.
