AI is only as powerful as the data behind it and real-time data streaming is becoming the foundation for successful AI in production.
At the 2026 Data Streaming World Tour Manila, industry practitioners, architects, developers, and data leaders will explore how organizations are building scalable AI systems powered by streaming data and modern data architectures.
Attendees will hear directly from customers and technical experts who have successfully implemented streaming architectures in production environments, sharing practical insights, proven strategies, and real-world lessons learned.
The event will feature:
● Real-world customer success stories and technical sessions
● Best practices for building AI-ready streaming architectures
● Hands-on labs and interactive learning opportunities
● Insights into modern data governance and real-time analytics
● Strategies for improving scalability, efficiency, and developer productivity
Attendees will also learn why traditional Kafka implementations alone may not be enough for enterprise AI initiatives, and how complete streaming platforms can help reduce total cost of ownership while accelerating innovation.
Whether you are developing AI applications, modernizing data infrastructure, or scaling real-time analytics, this event offers practical knowledge and technical guidance to help move AI projects from experimentation to production successfully.
