Data: Enabling the Great AI Acceleration in 2026 at Predict 2026
January 15 @ 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM

AI is moving out of the demo phase and into real production environments. In 2026, enterprise teams will need AI systems that are governed, interoperable, data-driven, and capable of delivering reliable outcomes at scale.
At Predict 2026, Brad Shimmin, VP and Practice Lead, Data, Analytics, and Infrastructure at The Futurum Group, will examine how this shift is redefining priorities for engineering, platform, and data teams as they prepare for higher automation, more intelligent workloads, and rapidly growing demands on their AI infrastructure.
Join us on January 15 to explore:
- How production teams are adopting agentic analytics
- Why data estate quality will determine AI success
- How a universal semantic layer supports trustworthy outcomes
- How open interoperability improves scale and reliability
- How teams are moving from pipelines to orchestrating AI ecosystems
