Sponsored by: Confluent | Turn SAP Data into AI-Powered Insights with Databricks

Learn how Confluent simplifies real-time streaming of your SAP data into AI-ready Delta tables on Databricks. In this session, you'll see how Confluent’s fully managed data streaming platform—with unified Apache Kafka® and Apache Flink®—connects data from SAP S/4HANA, ECC, and 120+ other sources to enable easy development of trusted, real-time data products that fuel highly contextualized AI and analytics. With Tableflow, you can represent Kafka topics as Delta tables in just a few clicks—eliminating brittle batch jobs and custom pipelines. You’ll see a product demo showcasing how Confluent unites your SAP and Databricks environments to unlock ERP-fueled AI, all while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for data streaming by up to 60%.

Sponsored by: Google Cloud | Building Powerful Agentic Ecosystems with Google Cloud's A2A

This session unveils Google Cloud's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, ushering in a new era of AI interoperability where diverse agents collaborate seamlessly to solve complex enterprise challenges. Join our panel of experts to discover how A2A empowers you to deeply integrate these collaborative AI systems with your existing enterprise data, custom APIs, and critical workflows. Ultimately, learn to build more powerful, versatile, and securely managed agentic ecosystems by combining specialized Google-built agents with your own custom solutions (Vertex AI or no-code). Extend this ecosystem further by serving these agents with Databricks Model Serving and governing them with Unity Catalog for consistent security and management across your enterprise.

No Time for the Dad Bod: Automating Life with AI and Databricks

Life as a father, tech leader, and fitness enthusiast demands efficiency. To reclaim my time, I’ve built AI-driven solutions that automate everyday tasks—from research agents that prep for podcasts to multi-agent systems that plan meals—all powered by real-time data and automation. This session dives into the technical foundations of these solutions, focusing on event-driven agent design and scalable patterns for robust AI systems. You’ll discover how Databricks technologies like Delta Lake, for reliable and scalable data management, and DSPy, for streamlining the development of generative AI workflows, empower seamless decision-making and deliver actionable insights. Through detailed architecture diagrams and a live demo, I’ll showcase how to design systems that process data in motion to tackle complex, real-world problems. Whether you’re an engineer, architect, or data scientist, you’ll leave with practical strategies to integrate AI-driven automation into your workflows.
