Analytics and BI platforms and data Science and machine learning platforms are important technologies that drive insight-driven decision making and allow AI systems to be built and operationalized throughout the enterprise. This session unpacks the Magic Quadrants of both markets and gives inisght on the trends that you should be aware of.

AI is drastically changing how organizations do business and operate. As a result, data, analytics and AI must be approached differently, with a focus on value — the organizational capabilities, competencies and processes required to utilize AI and data to redesign workflows and enable decisions orchestrated by both people and machines in near real time. This session gets you grounded on the capabilities of the intelligent enterprise, why it is important and how to pivot toward this model.

To position their teams as a must-have discipline that can fulfill cross-functional use cases, D&A leaders must optimize their organizational model. The optimal model balances enterprisewide capabilities focused on enablement with decentralized needs focused on outcomes. Discover the design principles that underpin the ideal model and learn how to strike a balance between centralized consistency and decentralized agility.

AI is accelerating new possibilities for data and analytics everywhere. Success isn’t always about being the fastest, but about finding your own path to value, while managing risk and cost. Join our Gartner’s Opening Keynote to discover how a thoughtful approach to speed and direction helps you prepare for what’s next, no matter where you are today.

When Rivers Speak: Analyzing Massive Water Quality Datasets using USGS API and Remote SSH in Positron

Rivers have long been storytellers of human history. From the Nile to the Yangtze, they have shaped trade, migration, settlement, and the rise of civilizations. They reveal the traces of human ambition... and the costs of it. Today, from the Charles to the Golden Gate, US rivers continue to tell stories, especially through data.

Over the past decades, extensive water quality monitoring efforts have generated vast public datasets: millions of measurements of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and conductivity collected across the country. These records are more than environmental snapshots; they are archives of political priorities, regulatory choices, and ecological disruptions. Ultimately, they are evidence of how societies interact with their environments, often unevenly.

In this talk, I’ll explore how Python and modern data workflows can help us "listen" to these stories at scale. Using the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Water Data APIs and Remote SSH in Positron, I’ll process terabytes of sensor data spanning several years and regions. I’ll demonstrate that, while Parquet and DuckDB enable scalable exploration of historical records, using Remote SSH is paramount in order to enable large-scale data analysis. By doing so, I hope to answer some analytical questions that can surface patterns linked to industrial growth, regulatory shifts, and climate change.

By treating rivers as both ecological systems and social mirrors, we can begin to see how environmental data encodes histories of inequality, resilience, and transformation.

Whether your interest lies in data engineering, environmental analytics, or the human dimensions of climate and infrastructure, this talk will explore topics at the intersection of environmental science, will offer both technical methods and sociological lenses to understand the stories rivers continue to tell.

FootballBERT introduces a new way of representing football players — not as static IDs or statistical aggregates that fluctuate wildly over short periods, but as contextual embeddings learned directly from match data. Built on a Transformer architecture and trained through a Masked Player Prediction (MPP) objective, FootballBERT captures how a player’s identity emerges from teammates, opponents, and coaches tactical demands — much like BERT learns word meaning from sentences. Openly released on Hugging Face, FootballBERT is a plug-and-play foundation model whose embeddings can be integrated into any downstream system, paving the way for player-aware analytics across performance modeling, recruitment and prediction.

AWS re:Invent 2025 - Simplify permissions management across Amazon Redshift warehouses (ANT350)

As organizations scale their analytics infrastructure, they deploy multiple Amazon Redshift clusters for workload isolation, cost attribution, and performance optimization. For each new cluster, teams must create databases linked to each data share and recreate permission policies locally. This fragmented approach becomes unmanageable as more clusters are brought online. Join us to learn how Amazon Redshift Federated Permissions removes this permission management complexity by providing centralized governance across multiple warehouses.
