Data, Analytics & AI Summit Agenda
AI leaders, the pressure is on, right? Ever since your organization started pursuing generative AI capabilities, everyone expects a strong, lasting ROI.
But proving value is easier said than done. Despite its promise, right now generative AI faces what we at DataRobot call ‘The Confidence Gap.’ AI ecosystems aren’t future-proofed. “Off-the-grid” generative AI projects escape leadership purview. Governance doesn’t happen by itself. And too often models aren’t well-maintained or managed. In short, driving real-world value from generative AI and tracking its impact can simply feel out of reach.
We’re here to tell you there’s a better way.
In this session we’ll cover how Search and Generative AI build on top of each other to deliver applications where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You’ll learn how to bring Lexical and Semantic search together, forming Hybrid Search, to get an even better result than either of these techniques can deliver on their own. This new Search stack will deliver continuous value over the coming years as the systems learn and adapt both autonomously and with human input.
Introducing Cohesity Gaia, a first-to-market AI-powered enterprise search assistant that brings retrieval augmented generation (RAG) AI and large language models (LLMs) to high-quality backup data within Cohesity environments.
We’ll do a quick overview of the new product and then demonstrate how you can use Cohesity Gaia’s AI-powered conversational search solution in a real life scenario. In this one, we will use Cohesity Gaia to identify and resolve problems within a manufacturing environment.
Automox’s 2024 State of IT Operations annual survey uncovered some interesting insights about how an IT organization’s ability to rapidly respond to changing business requirements affects their ability to deliver quality services to users. Join us as we explore our findings.
Wondering how you can garner the benefits of AI to transform Identity and Access Management for your organization? In this session, we’ll deep dive into Okta’s AI initiatives across both Workforce and Customer Identity use cases.
Learn how you can apply Okta’s new suite of AI capabilities to drive real business value for your organization through product demos, and harness the full potential of AI to turbocharge productivity, security, and end-user experience.
In this video, Peter McCarron, from the LaunchDarkly Developer Experience team, discusses how we can use LaunchDarkly to release new features confidently and consistently. LaunchDarkly allows you to make features available instantly with just the flip of a toggle. If something goes wrong, simply turn the toggle off and the feature is gone, no need to push new code or redeploy applications. But LaunchDarkly does so much more. Also in this video Peter explores how LaunchDarkly can help you create a consolidated view of your entire release lifecycle with Release Pipelines, control the impact radius of releases with targeting, migrate databases using a special migration flag type, and even anticipate problems before they occur with Release Guardian.
All times listed on the agenda are Eastern Standard Time.

What you can expect from today’s event about ensuring data access, scalability and protection for Generative AI effectiveness
When it comes to GenAI, it’s time to separate the signal from the noise. Dennis McRae, author of the just-released book Generative AI Strategy and Implementation, combines expert insights and practical advice on creating a future-proof your organization’s GenAI journey. McRae will share why an agile approach is the perfect fit for GenAI so you can launch high-value GenAI projects that deliver fast returns. He will also dive into the ethical considerations, the link between leadership expectations and organizational execution, and the emerging trends that will shape the use of the technology in the near to mid-term.
Now it’s your chance to join the conversation with Dennis McRae. Bring your big questions about building a GenAI strategy, including implementing an agile methodology. The focus of this live, moderated discussion will be up to you.
With AI moving to the mainstream, organizations look to bolster confidence in their approach, better aligning executive expectations with business goals. It’s not about influencing the outcome, but controlling it. This session discusses how DataRobot helps centralize an enterprise’s approach to building AI solutions for any industry. We’ll explore how to operate, govern, build, and scale AI solutions. Employees’ roles will change, the question is: how do you supercharge those people?
Experience, best practices, and better tools are helping IT leaders get savvier about cloud economics. But emerging technologies such as generative AI and the drive to innovate will perennially complicate the equation. Join us for an analytical look at the problem — and possible solutions.
Today’s organizations face multiple challenges to get the most out of their large language models (LLMs). These include security, privacy, hallucinations, relevance, scalability, and cost. In this Q&A session, you’ll hear Elastic’s Steve Mayzak discuss best practices and how to utilize RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) technology as you refine your AI strategy. The result is a more secure, rapid approach that better distinguishes between semantic and lexical search.
A big question facing CIOs as they invest in GenAI initiatives is whether to go with an open-source or closed-source system. Big tech is making their bets, with Meta’s Llama 2 and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion among the major open-source provider, and Microsoft and OpenAI offering the closed-source ChatGPT. Join us to sort out the key advantages and disadvantages of each model for innovation, security, and performance, as well as how CIOs are making the decision for their own organizations.
Experience the future of enterprise data management as we integrate Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI and Large Language Models (LLMs).
Join eDiscovery specialist Jim Barrick as he shares firsthand insights into how this innovative approach accelerates decision-making, enhances analysis, and delivers actionable insights. Discover how RAG AI and LLMs streamline data forensics, saving time and eliminating manual work. Don’t miss the chance to learn how to revolutionize your data strategy.
Now’s the time to grab your coffee, visit sponsor booths, or answer a couple of emails.
In this session, we’ll unpack the components necessary for trustworthy AI and GenAI according to worldwide research and learn how to navigate ethical considerations, mitigate potential biases, and build trust with stakeholders including customers, clients, and colleagues through effective governance.
Too often, we regard compliance as an anchor, not a sail to our goals. We will explore the types of compliance and the root causes of negative attitudes towards it. More importantly, we will discuss strategies around using compliance to your advantage and how you can balance it with security imperatives.
Since ChatGPT burst on the scene, and despite demonstrable benefits, IT leaders are choosing to still proceed with caution. Learn what CIOs are doing to get the timing right for maximum efficiency and business benefit.
Join us for a series of five-minute market insights geared to solving your biggest challenges.

Everyone from Bill Gates to Elon Musk to Jensen Huang has an estimate on when we will achieve artificial general intelligence, or the point in which AI systems become generally smarter than humans. The truth is no one knows, but that doesn’t make it any less important – or fun – to discuss. Join us for a high-level conversation that looks at the potential timelines and ramifications of this ultimate milestone.
