NVIDIA GTC Side Event: Next-Gen Data Infra for the Agentic Era

## About the Event 🎊

As we transition into the Agentic Era, the bottleneck has shifted from the model to the Infrastructure. The critical question is no longer just "which LLM to use," but: How do we build data layers that are scalable, reliable, and governed?
Join the Data for AI Community for an exclusive evening during GTC week. We’re bringing together pioneers from NVIDIA, Neo4j, and Fivetran to discuss the Next-Gen Data Infrastructure required to turn raw data into actionable context for enterprise-grade AI Agents.

## Agenda 🌟

🤖 Technical Talks 🤖

• Building Agents with Apache Iceberg: Turning Data into Context for AI Systems
• Andrew Madson**, Founding Head of DevRel @ Fivetran
• Graph Databases & Agentic Context (Topic TBD)
• Nyah Macklin**, DevRel & AI Engineering Leader @ Neo4j
• Next-Gen Compute for Agentic Workflows (Topic TBD)
• Senior Engineer @ NVIDIA

🎤 Deep Dive Panel 🎤
Topic: Data Strategy in the Agentic Era

• Challenges: The "governance nightmare" of discovery, management, and security.
• Opportunities: Is the traditional stack ripe for industry-wide disruption?
• Future Trends: The Unstructured Revolution, vendor freedom, and the shift beyond tables.

## Networking & Refreshments 🍕

We’ll provide food, drinks, and high-signal networking opportunities with global builders, architects, and founders visiting for GTC.
