Tech Talk: Building an AI-Ready Data Backbone
Speaker: Dmitry Kan (Aiven)
Abstract: In the era of Generative AI, the true differentiator for successful application deployment isn't the model—it's the underlying data infrastructure. Many enterprises struggle to transition from siloed, legacy data platforms to a scalable, real-time data backbone capable of fueling modern AI and search applications.

This webinar will dive into the essential components of building a robust, AI-ready data foundation, focusing specifically on leveraging the power of Aiven for OpenSearch integrated with Google Cloud. Attendees will learn practical strategies for establishing a unified data platform that supports high-velocity indexing, advanced vector search, and multimodal data storage.
We will explore how to seamlessly ingest, process, and enrich data streams on Google Cloud, ensuring your data is clean, secure, and immediately accessible for AI workloads. Discover how this powerful combination accelerates your time-to-value for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures, intelligent search, and operational analytics, transforming your data from a cost center into a core competitive advantage.

Tech Talk: Building Secure AI Agent Ecosystems: The 3Cs Framework in Practice
Speaker: Eli Aleyner (Docker)
Abstract: AI agents are moving from experiments to production, but security is an afterthought for most teams. In this talk, VP of Product Strategy & Alliances at Docker, Eli Aleyner shares the 3Cs Framework for AI Agent Security: a practical model for architecting trustworthy agentic systems across your organization. Drawing from real-world experience running OpenClaw and building Docker's AI partnership ecosystem, Eli breaks down how product leaders can integrate security into agent design, testing, and deployment without sacrificing velocity. Leave with a framework you can apply immediately.

Tech Talk: Multimodal Intelligence for Life Sciences
Speaker: Kristian Aune (Vespa)
Abstract: In this session, experts from Reveal HealthTech and Vespa.ai will demonstrate how multimodal AI can transform life sciences search and reason over complex data ecosystems. The demonstration fuses structured data, complex documents, unstructured text, and brain scans into a single searchable intelligence layer.
We will also discuss how this architecture supports the entire pharmaceutical value chain—including clinical research, marketing, medical affairs, and competitive intelligence and get into the basics of foundational and retrieval intelligence.
Kristian Aune of Vespa.ai will present on how current retrieval systems in sectors such as e-commerce effectively integrate vector search, ranking, and multimodal retrieval.
The session will highlight key lessons that the lifesciences, biotech, and medical fields can draw from these existing models. If you’re building AI systems where precision matters as much as capability, this session is for you.

Tech Talk: How to Make Your Data AI-Ready
Speaker: Jacob Prall (Snowflake)
Abstract: Most AI initiatives fail because they're built on data that isn't ready for the demands of AI workloads. The result? Poor results, wasted effort, and broken trust. How do you know when your data is AI-ready, and how do you make it ready?
In this webinar, we will introduce the AI-Ready Data Framework, an open standard that defines AI-readiness and provides a suite of agent Skills to help you assess your data, identify gaps, and apply remediations to make your data ready for RAG, agents, and training.

Key takeaways:

• How to tell if your AI problems are really data problems: A practical diagnostic lens for spotting readiness gaps behind hallucinations, weak retrieval, and more.
• How to set the right bar for each workload: Compare what RAG, agents, and model training each require so your team can prioritize the right investments.
• How to close the gap: Learn practical approaches teams use to address data-readiness gaps once they are identified.
