About the Event
Data orchestration, event-driven systems, and AI are rapidly converging into a single, connected operating layer. Pipelines trigger events, events update models, and models shape the next data inputs. Most enterprise architectures weren’t built for this loop – and it’s quickly becoming the bottleneck to scaling AI.
The organizations that will lead the next era are those building adaptive, interoperable data ecosystems that can sense, react, and decide in real time. Modern orchestration is the foundation that makes this possible.
During this panel discussion and executive roundtable dinner, we’ll explore:
- Securely orchestrating GenAI workflows with governed enterprise data
- Building AI-ready infrastructure that moves experiments into production
- Accelerating time-to-insight by reducing operational overhead and pipeline fragility
We’ll ground the conversation in real retail use cases, including:
- Personalized shopping experiences
- Supply chain visibility and forecasting
- Omnichannel analytics
- Dynamic pricing and demand planning
- Sustainability and ESG reporting
Join leaders across retail and consumer industries for a focused conversation on what it takes to operationalize AI at scale.
