Can Agents fire Arrows?

Join us for another evening of deep dives into data engineering! This time, we are hosted by Heyra for two talks that explore the practical side of the "Agentic" shift in data workflows and the high-performance internals of data transfer with Apache Arrow.

As always, there will be food, drinks, and plenty of time to network with fellow data engineers in the Copenhagen community.
Based on the style of your previous events and the details provided, here is a draft for the upcoming

Agentic data engineering, beyond the hype
Kilian Tscherny, Lead Data Engineer @ Heyra
Data engineering is changing fast, and the teams getting ahead are the ones rebuilding their workflow around agents instead of just bolting them on. In this talk, Kilian will cover how the team at Heyra has adapted to this shift, sharing real-world examples of how agentic workflows can move beyond the hype to provide actual architectural value.

Taking Flight: Zero-Copy Data Transfer at Scale with Apache Arrow Flight and Friends
Anders Bogsnes, Head of Investments & Trading Engineering @ Nordea Asset Management
We all love Apache Arrow in our DataFrames and DuckDBs - but have you considered how the data is ending up on your machine?

Arrow Flight and friends was designed as a way of enabling end-to-end native Arrow communication and in this talk we will go through the motivations behind the Arrow Flight protocol, introduce some of the derived protocols, and we end by building an Arrow Flight server from scratch and demonstrating how to interact with that server from a client.
