About the event

This is an evening for teams building and scaling data and AI pipelines, whether they use Airflow today or are planning how to get AI workloads into production.

We’ll focus on the practical problems teams hit at that stage: shipping workflows safely, testing changes with confidence, keeping systems reliable, and avoiding runaway costs.

There will be plenty of networking, great food, and drinks.

Agenda

5:00 - 5:30 PM: Arrivals and Snacks

5:30 - 6:15 PM: Tech Talk

2026 is the year many teams move beyond AI experimentation and start shipping production-grade workflows.

In this talk, we’ll show how the Apache Airflow AI SDK and the Astro IDE help teams move from experimentation to reliable execution by running those workflows in the same orchestration layer many teams already rely on to run their data platforms.

6:15 - 6:45PM: Drinks and Networking
