AI Ships when Data Streams
The 2026 Data Streaming World Tour brings together data, AI, and engineering leaders to explore how real-time data streaming is powering production-ready AI systems.
This event is designed for practitioners building intelligent applications at scale. Attendees will hear directly from organizations using streaming architectures in production, gain insight into proven implementation patterns, and participate in hands-on sessions focused on real-world AI and data challenges.
The event will cover topics including:
● Building AI systems with continuous learning and real-time decision-making
● Creating governed, context-rich data pipelines for modern AI applications
● Improving lakehouse architectures by shifting processing and governance closer to the source
● Moving beyond basic Kafka deployments with complete streaming platforms that improve scalability, reduce operational complexity, and accelerate developer productivity
Participants will leave with practical strategies, architectural guidance, and technical insights for building scalable, real-time AI systems in production environments.
