Join us for an exclusive evening of sessions, insights, innovation, and high-impact networking with senior technology leaders shaping the future of Data, AI, and Security.

📅 Date: 13th May
📍 Location: Bellevue City Hall

Agenda:
4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: Check-in & Networking
5:30 PM – 6:00 PM: Dr. Lana Feng

Why Should Attend:
* Most AI projects don’t fail because of models—they fail because domain experts are left out of the loop. Learn how to fix that.
* See what actually happens inside enterprises where AI struggles with fragmented data, slow iteration, and missing context—and how leading teams are solving it.
* Understand how to move from “AI experiments” to AI systems that domain experts can directly shape and trust.
* Go deep into security data architecture—how modern organizations design data systems that are both scalable and secure by design.
* Learn how teams are handling AI + data risk in production, not just in theory.
* Walk away with perspectives you can apply immediately—whether you're building, securing, or scaling data platforms.

Who Should Attend:
* If you're building AI but struggling to get real business impact
* If you're dealing with messy, siloed enterprise data
* If you're responsible for security, governance, or data platforms
* If you want to understand how AI actually works inside enterprises—not just demos
