At Volary we are building the missing memory layer for AI agents. This talk explores how we think about the problem, what we've learned from building memory systems, and how better memory can take agents from stateless tools to workers that improve through experience. Peter is an engineering leader with two decades of experience. After several years working on text-to-speech at Google, he joined Thought Machine as a founding engineer. He later served as CIO on the executive team, leading Infrastructure as the company scaled to over 500 employees, achieving unicorn status along the way, and went on to lead development of Vault Payments, a universal payments platform for retail banks. He is now CEO of Volary, where he is applying that experience to building foundational infrastructure for AI agents. **[Artur Vartanyan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/artur-vartanyan/) @ [Canonical](https://canonical.com/)** **How Global Technology Alliances enable AI success** Artur will dive into how modern advances in artificial intelligence have been driven by major improvements in how customers experience and interact with AI. These advancements are largely enabled by strategic technological alliances. Instead of competing, leading tech companies are joining forces to make AI more accessible and impactful. This talk will explore the programs and tools that enable collaboration among technology companies in developing AI solutions, supported by real-world examples of successful alliances.

Most AI deployments never reach them. This session shares what we've learned taking agentic AI into some of the world's largest organisations: the product decisions forced by legacy constraints, the approaches required to ingest complex business data, and what it takes to embed agents inside teams with little AI experience. We take a dive into the technical, organisational, and commercial questions that only arise at true enterprise scale and how you turn that friction into real value. **[Artur Vartanyan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/artur-vartanyan/) @ [Canonical](https://canonical.com/)** **How Global Technology Alliances enable AI success** Artur will dive into how modern advances in artificial intelligence have been driven by major improvements in how customers experience and interact with AI.

**Agentic AI from Qlik: Smarter Decisions, Delivered in Real Time** Every organisation makes hundreds of decisions each day. The problem is not a lack of data, it is the inability to access the full picture at the right time. Data sits in silos, insights arrive too late, and teams spend more time searching for answers than acting on them. At our upcoming **Qlik Meetup,** we will explore how Agentic AI from **Qlik** is transforming this reality. Built on the power of **Qlik Answers**, Qlik’s **Agentic AI** framework introduces intelligent AI agents that go beyond dashboards and static reporting. These agents understand context, connect structured and unstructured data, explain the “why” behind insights, and take meaningful action. The result is faster, more confident decision making across the organisation. Join us for an interactive session including live discussion and Q&A with members of the Qlik team, where we will demonstrate how Agentic AI: * Unifies all your data sources, enabling instant access to structured and unstructured information wherever it resides * Delivers transparent, explainable analytics with clear traceability back to source data * Automates intelligently by building dashboards, triggering workflows and completing routine tasks * Amplifies team productivity by acting as an intelligent extension of your workforce * Accelerates time to value through a plug and play architecture designed for rapid deployment and measurable ROI This session is ideal for data leaders, BI professionals and analytics teams looking to move from insight generation to intelligent execution. If you are serious about unlocking the next evolution of analytics within your organisation, this is a session not to miss.

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
