📅 Agenda
18:45: Check-in and welcome 👋
19:10: 🎙️ "AI-Ready Data - What Got Us Here Won't Get Us There", Andrew Madson - Head of Developer Relations at Fivetran.
AI provides an incredible opportunity for innovation and disruption, but there's a problem. The data that powers AI is built for humans, and Agents require a new stack - one that is open, interoperable, and free from vendor lock-in. The principles of open data infrastructure enable humans and their agents to create powerful workflows without vendor lock-in.
19:40 🎙️ "AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents", Sonia Aguilar - Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs.
AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model.
20:10 - 21:00: Networking & Drinks 🍻🍕See you there 👋
