​Bangalore, let's talk data.

​Bring your production stories, your architecture questions, and your appetite. We're getting the open lakehouse and AI community together for a Saturday morning of technical talks, lightning rounds, and the conversations that keep going after the slides are done.
​Co-hosted by PuppyGraph, Cloudera, OLake, and VeloDB, Future of Data brings together the people building data platforms and putting AI to work.
​Whether you're running Iceberg in production, building AI agents on enterprise data, or curious about where the stack is heading, come compare notes with fellow engineers, architects, and open-source contributors.

​Call for Presentations

​Want to speak? Submit a talk through our CFP.
​We're looking for two technical talks and one lightning talk on open lakehouses and AI. Share real use cases, production lessons, or new work. No sales pitches.

​What to expect

​Talks with substance — four sessions covering open lakehouses and AI, with room for architecture decisions, production lessons, and the details that make an idea work.
​Lightning rounds — three short talks to share a fresh idea, a useful technique, or a hard-earned lesson.
​Breakfast & good company — start with a bite, meet fellow builders, and leave time for the conversations between sessions.
​Your voice in the lineup — two full-length talks and one lightning talk will be selected through our open CFP.

​Technical, specific, and useful. No sales pitches or product commercials.
