Abstract
In the race to harness the power of generative AI, organizations are discovering a hidden challenge: precision. Models are only as effective as the data they access, yet most approaches to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) lack the dedicated, fine-tuned pipelines needed to ensure the right information is delivered at the right time.
Today, most RAG systems pull from vast, generalized data lakes, leading to noisy outputs and frustrating inefficiencies. The result? Wasted resources, inconsistent responses, and missed opportunities for real-time decision-making. But what if you could create an AI system that doesn’t just retrieve data—but understands its context, delivering precise, actionable insights in milliseconds?
This is where agenticRAG comes into play—a breakthrough in AI architecture that pairs dedicated retrieval pipelines with intelligent agents to deliver pinpoint accuracy. By segmenting your data storage and retrieval processes specifically for training vs. inference, you can achieve hyper-focused precision while dramatically reducing latency and costs.
Imagine an AI system that knows exactly what data it needs and how to get it with zero lag—a system that’s tuned to perform like a well-trained expert in your domain.
Curious to discover how you can optimize your AI applications for laser-focused accuracy? Join me as to learn more about AgenticRAG and fine tuning your models.

10:35 Whittle (3rd Fl.) Session Data Architecture Reliable Data Flows and Scalable Platforms: Tackling Key Data Challenges Matthias Niehoff Head of Data and Data Architecture @codecentric AG, iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture There are a few common and mostly well-known challenges when architecting for data. For example, many data teams struggle to move data in a stable and reliable way from operational systems to analytics systems. 11:45 Whittle (3rd Fl.) Session AI/ML Achieving Precision in AI: Retrieving the Right Data Using AI Agents Adi Polak Director, Advocacy and Developer Experience Engineering @Confluent, Author of "Scaling Machine Learning with Spark" and "High Performance Spark 2nd Edition" In the race to harness the power of generative AI, organizations are discovering a hidden challenge: precision. 13:35 Fleming (3rd Fl.) Session Panel: Modern Data Architectures 14:45 Mountbatten (6th Fl.) Session AI/ML The Data Backbone of LLM Systems Paul Iusztin Senior ML/AI Engineer, MLOps, Founder @Decoding ML Any LLM application has four dimensions you must carefully engineer: the code, data, models and prompts. Each dimension influences the other. That's why you must learn how to track and manage each. The trick is that every dimension has particularities requiring unique strategies and tooling. 15:55 Whittle (3rd Fl.) Session Data Architecture Beyond the Warehouse: Why BigQuery Alone Won’t Solve Your Data Problems Sarah Usher Data & Backend Engineer, Community Director, Mentor Many organizations mistake the adoption of a data warehouse, like BigQuery, as the golden ticket to solving all their data challenges. But without a robust data strategy and architecture, you’re simply shifting chaos into the cloud.
