Description:
Welcome to the weekly AI Deep Dive Webinar Series (Virtual) with Aiven and Google Cloud. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs, Agentic AI, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers & fellow developers from all over the world.

Tech Talk: Stop Paying for Analytics. Just Use Postgres. Enterprise Scale with AI-Driven Insights
Speaker: Marko Bocevski (Aiven)
Abstract:The database wars of the 2010s are over. HTAP? Dead. NewSQL? Dead. Streaming databases? Dead. The Cloud Data Warehouse won—but here's the twist: the innovations that made it win (separation of storage and compute, vectorized execution, columnar formats) are now everywhere.

The modern data stack is collapsing into something surprisingly simple: OLTP + Lakehouse. And at the center of it? It’s just Postgres.
In this session, We’ll explore how a massive enterprise manages complex transactional and analytical data without the "tax" of legacy warehouses.
We will demonstrate how to close the loop between transactions and intelligence:

• The Bridge: Writing from Postgres directly to Iceberg tables with zero ETL.
• The Brain: Using Large Language Models (LLMs) to query your lakehouse in natural language, gaining instant insights into complex datasets.
• The Result: A simplified architecture that replaces the "duct tape" of Debezium, Kafka, and reverse-ETL.

What you will learn:
You’ll walk away with:

• Enterprise Insights: How Conrad Electronic navigates data at scale using open-source patterns.
• The AI Layer: Practical workflows for using LLMs to gain insights into your transactional and analytical data.
• The Blueprint: A clear architecture for Postgres + Iceberg + AI integration.
• A live demo!

Local and Global AI Community on Discord
Join us on discord for local and global AI tech community:
- Events chat: chat and connect with speakers and global and local attendees;
- Learning AI: events, learning materials, study groups;
- Startups: innovation, projects collaborations, founders/co-founders;
- Jobs and Careers: job openings, post resumes, hiring managers

Important: Register on the event website is required for admission.

Join Oracle and AICamp for an immersive, hands on workshop learning how to build reliable agents with LangChain and Oracle AI Database.

This hands-on workshop introduces AI agents and shows how to build agents that go beyond chat to act reliably on real data. Participants will learn how agents plan and execute work, why stateless AI fails in production, and how persistent memory solves the forgetting problem. Using Oracle AI Database, the workshop demonstrates how to implement a durable agent memory core with semantic vector search, governance, and auditability.

Agenda:
- 5:30pm~6:00pm: Checkin, food and networking
- 6:00pm~6:15pm: Welcome and Community update
- 6:15pm~7:30pm: Tech talks, hands-on labs and Q&A
- 7:30pm~8:30pm: Open discussion and Closing.

We’ll go end-to-end:

• · Define what Agent Memory is (and how it differs from just “chat history”)
• · Build practical memory abstractions (short-term working memory, semantic memory, episodic memory, and lightweight procedural memory)
• · Implement ingestion, storage, retrieval, summarization, and “managed forgetting” patterns
• · Integrate Tavily for real-time internet lookups, and use Oracle AI Database as the agent’s Memory Core for unified retrieval and persistence
• · Apply context engineering, prompt engineering, and memory engineering techniques to reduce drift, improve grounding, and keep the agent consistent across turns

You’ll leave with a working reference implementation, plus a set of reusable patterns for building scalable agent scaffolding and evaluation harnesses focused on reliability and believability.

Who should attend:
This hands-on workshop is designed for AI developers, AI engineers, AI practitioners, python developers
