Tech Talk: The Convergence of Real-Time Data and AI
Speaker: Garrett Raska (Redpanda)
Abstract: The world of AI has its origins in batch processing of large data sets. In more recent years it has had to accelerate to faster and faster development cycles — feedback from real-time usage, RAG and MCP architectures for live data lookups. What's driving the convergence of AI and real-time data? And how can you ride the wave?

Tech Talk: GraphRAG in Action
Speaker: Shishir Tewari (Procore)
Abstract: Discover how GraphRAG transforms chaotic, disjointed corporate data into actionable natural language insights. This session explores a three-phase architecture offline entity resolution, Neo4j knowledge graphs, and local LLMs that eliminates hallucinations and securely bridges the gap between raw data and business intelligence.
