If you want to stop letting data delay tour path to production and learn how industry leaders make AI work with real time data and optimize all data before they reach their Datawarehouse. Today’s businesses win or lose their ability to act in real time. During this lunch, you will learn with Confluent and IBM how they can transform fragmented, slow, legacy data landscapes into AI‑ready, real‑time architectures that power modern applications and operational decisions. Learn how real‑time, trusted data becomes the foundation for hyper‑personalized services, fraud detection, logistics, and next‑generation AI agents across hybrid cloud environments.

Why You Should Join:

• Understand how real‑time, governed data flows reduce data and application sprawl, improve decision accuracy, and accelerate the value of AI initiatives.
• Learn how connecting transactional systems, operational applications, and cloud‑based analytics in real time unlocks use cases such as instant personalization, fraud detection, predictive operations, and event‑driven automation. Learn how a real-time context engine will serve fresh, trustworthy context to your AI agents and application anywhere.
• Discover how a unified real‑time data platform can accelerate application modernization, speed up time‑to‑market, and open new revenue opportunities across industries including financial services, retail, healthcare, telecom, and media. See how to eliminate costly data infrastructure and replace point-to-point batch.
• Industry leaders will also engage in an open dialogue, sharing practical insights, challenges, and success stories on leveraging real time AI to optimize their operations
