Talk #1 "Delta Lake Performance Behind the Scenes: From Partitioning to Liquid Clustering" Discover how to make your Delta Lake pipelines faster and more efficient! This session covers key optimization techniques—from compaction, partitioning, and vacuuming to advanced strategies like Z-Ordering, Bloom Filter indexes, and Liquid Clustering. Learn how to reduce I/O, speed up queries, and keep your data tables lean and performant.

Talk #2 "Data Was the Oil — Compute is the Refinery: From Economics to Engineering" For years, we said “data is the new oil.” But in today’s AI economy, real value comes from compute — the power to turn that data into intelligence. Without scalable, high-performance processing, even the largest datasets remain raw and unused.
In this session, we’ll explore how NVIDIA GPUs have become the refinery of the digital age, converting raw data into working AI models and fueling a surge in AI-driven innovation and market value. We’ll look at the economic and technical forces shaping this shift: from GPU supply and demand to the rise of compute as the new currency of AI. The session will wrap up with showing how large-scale GPU systems process data in real time, build insights, and demonstrate why compute, not just data, defines the next frontier of intelligence and impact.
