Trusting the Unknown: Practical Approaches to Uncertainty in Generative AI
Generative AI
Generative AI systems are remarkably good at producing fluent answers—even when those answers are wrong. This overconfidence creates a critical challenge: how can we measure and communicate uncertainty in GenAI outputs?
In this talk, we will explore the key ideas and practical approaches for quantifying uncertainty in large language models and generative systems. We’ll look at a range of strategies—such as probability signals, sampling, verification, and grounding—and discuss their strengths and trade-offs.
Through real-world examples, from classification tasks to AI agents, we’ll show how uncertainty estimation can improve trust, guide human-AI collaboration, and enable safer deployments in high-stakes domains.

Making AI real in enterprise
Keynote
Learning models from data has a deep and rich past and a bright future but getting the maximum benefit from models remains daunting. In this talk we will cover how to “make AI real” in practical settings, such as a business. AI researchers, armed with practical knowledge of how to deploy AI in production will find their work has much greater impact. To do this, they need to internalize a cross disciplinary approach at the intersection of finance, innovation and even some human behavior. With the benefit of long experience delivering AI projects, we will show you a playbook that’s not taught in schools, one that can help you guide a science motivated data science investigation or AI engineering project all the way to a production deployment.

AI resource management
Decision Intelligence
Technical talk, Business talk
Intermediate
As organizations deploy hundreds or thousands of AI agents to automate complex workflows, a new challenge emerges: how do we effectively manage, coordinate, and optimize a workforce of autonomous agents? This presentation introduces frameworks for AI agent resource management—essentially “HR for AI agents”—addressing the unique challenges of scaling agent-based systems in enterprise environments.
We explore critical management dimensions including agent lifecycle management (hiring, onboarding, retirement), role assignment and specialization, workload distribution, and performance monitoring. The discussion covers practical approaches to agent orchestration, including task routing mechanisms, capability matching, and dynamic team formation for multi-agent collaboration.
Key topics include establishing governance frameworks for agent behavior, implementing quality control systems, managing agent “skills” and continuous improvement, and handling version control across agent populations. We also address resource allocation strategies—determining when to spin up new agents versus reassigning existing ones, and balancing specialized versus generalist agent architectures.

Decision Intelligence Meets Work: Context, Options, and Digital Twins
Decision Intelligence
Business talk
Beginner to Intermediate
Over the last decade, organizations have invested heavily in data and AI, yet much of the world’s career potential still goes untapped. IT professionals are treated like numbers, while managers drown in admin instead of building great teams. Orbit was created to change that.
In this session, Daniel Pinto Almeida, Co-Founder & CEO of Orbit, will share how decision intelligence can power a new relationship layer between professionals and companies — one where context, personalization, and options drive smarter matches and better outcomes. From living profiles to verified opportunities and enterprise talent hubs, Orbit’s product ecosystem learns with every interaction. The vision: a future where humans and digital twins collaborate by choice, with trust and shared upside.

Demystifying Data Products: From Buzzword to Practical Implementation
Data Platforms
“Data Product” has become a buzzword in many organizations — often used without a clear understanding of what it truly means. In this session, we’ll cut through the noise. You’ll get a clear definition of Data Products, explore why they matter, and learn how to design and implement them in practice — both from a business and technical perspective. Whether you’re a data engineer, analyst, or decision-maker, this session will give you a concrete foundation for working with data products in real-world environments.

How To Teach Your AI Football? An Argument for Event Sourcing
Technical talk
Beginner to Intermediate
We don’t watch sports just for the final score. We watch for the drama that unfolds in every pass, every sprint, every gasp from the crowd. We don’t watch the statistics. We watch the game, the tension, the turning points. Now imagine asking your LLM to replay that game. With only the statistics, it might give you the skeleton. With the commentary transcript, it can start to breathe life into it: the roar after a goal, the hush before a penalty, the sudden shift in momentum. As analysts, we are storytellers. Event sourcing is how we make the data tell the whole story.

From Insight to Oversight: AI-Driven Power BI Monitoring using REST API integration
Power BI has become a cornerstone of enterprise analytics, enabling self-service reporting, real-time insights, and agile decision-making. Yet as organizations scale to hundreds or thousands of reports, datasets, and users, they face growing challenges: sustaining performance, ensuring governance, managing costs, and keeping analytics aligned with business priorities. Without structured oversight, even the most advanced analytics environment can become cluttered, inefficient, and less trusted by decision-makers.
This session presents a strategic, AI-enhanced framework for monitoring and managing Power BI environments. By combining the Power BI REST API and AI models together with modern Azure services, organizations can transform raw usage data, metadata, and report lineage into actionable insights that drive better decisions. AI techniques play a key role in spotting unusual usage patterns, predicting future demand, and highlighting potential risks before they escalate empowering teams to act early rather than react to problems after the fact.
Through real-world examples, I will show how this approach improves operational efficiency, strengthens governance, and optimizes both capacity and licensing. Attendees will leave with a clear vision of how to establish scalable, intelligent monitoring practices that protect their investment in Power BI, build user trust and create a culture of continuous improvement in analytics.

KEYNOTE: Data Doesn’t Lie… But Does It Pay?
Keynote
Transformational talk
Advanced
Everyone says data doesn’t lie — but turning data into real business value requires more than setting up AI agents, dashboards and KPIs. This talk explores how organizations can move beyond simply collecting insights to building a culture where data truly drives decisions, shapes behavior, and pays off in measurable impact. We’ll share lessons, challenges, and practical steps to shift mindsets, bridge the gap between data and people, and unlock the real return on data.

KEYNOTE: Hack Your Life — The Future of Human Resilience in an AI-Driven World
Keynote
Technical talk, Business talk
Beginner to Intermediate
Cybersecurity spending is projected to exceed $212 billion this year. Billions more flow into the security awareness training market, which is growing at double-digit rates. Yet the data is remarkably consistent: humans remain the single biggest breach vector. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report shows that between 68 and 85 percent of breaches involve human factors, a trend that has barely shifted over the past five years.
The paradox is clear. Technology evolves, defenses scale, awareness programs expand, yet human vulnerability persists. And now artificial intelligence is tilting the battlefield. Studies show AI-generated phishing emails are already outperforming human red teams, while global surveys reveal that most people cannot reliably tell an AI-crafted message from a genuine one. The old cues are gone.
This talk explores what that means for the future of security and for us as humans. If attackers exploit the weakest link, then the most important operating system to secure is not just the digital infrastructure around us but the internal architecture within us. By examining how hackers probe, adapt, and exploit systems, we can learn how to build a new model of resilience that is iterative, adaptive, and future-ready.
