Jagbir Kang, Manager, Product Management, Cloudera
In this session, you will learn:

How to instantly extend your private infrastructure with public cloud processing power to handle sudden demand spikes.
Ways to avoid the costs of idle hardware and eliminate the complexity of moving data during peak times.
Best practices for maintaining consistent security and governance while scaling across hybrid environments.

Zinette Ezra, Sr. Director, Product Management, DI, Cloudera
In this session, you will learn:

Why a Unified Data Fabric is essential for AI at scale, as it unifies metadata, lineage, and policy to deliver trusted, explainable data.
How data products and contracts govern consumption. They define trusted interfaces and expectations for both human and AI consumers.
How active metadata enables proactive governance. It detects change and drift early, reducing risk before data is consumed.

Niel Dunnage, Principal Strategic Customer Success Manager, Cloudera
In this session, you will learn:

How to move beyond simple chatbots by orchestrating a "crew" of specialized AI agents for complex workflows.
Why running specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) locally is often superior to public LLMs for sensitive diagnostic data.
A production-grade blueprint for reducing technical account review times from weeks to days using Agentic AI.

Dipankar Mazumdar, Director of Developer Relations, Cloudera
In this session, you will learn:

How open standards and open table formats like Apache Iceberg shape modern data architectures.
The internals behind design patterns like ACID properties, concurrency models, and scalable metadata.
Cloudera’s strategic direction for open lakehouses and insights from the new book, Engineering Lakehouses.
