Stop letting data delay your path to production. See the industry leaders making AI work with real-time data and learn how you can, too.

Your AI systems work great in notebooks. Then production happens—data changes underneath them, predictions go stale, and context gets lost in brittle pipelines. Sound familiar? RSVP for the 2026 Data Streaming World Tour in Jersey City to learn why AI projects that succeed are built on streaming—and how to build yours the same way.

The 2026 Data Streaming World Tour is on its way!

Join practitioners who've tackled AI challenges in production with real-time data streaming.

Here's what makes this different: you won't just hear Confluent's pitch. You'll hear from customers with proven streaming architectures, learn the patterns that work in production, and build intelligent systems yourself in hands-on labs.

You'll walk away knowing:

• Why AI systems need continuous learning, real-time decisions, and governed context—not just "high-quality data"

• How shifting processing and governance closer to the source results in better lakehouse architecture and faster time to insights

• Why basic Kafka isn't enough—and how a complete streaming platform unlocks 40-70% TCO reduction while accelerating developer velocity

• How to build AI agents that ingest, process, and act on streaming data in real time (hands-on lab)

This is technical. It's authentic. And it's how production systems actually get built.

Register now! Space is limited.

Cost: Free (Breakfast and Lunch Included)
