VaultSpeed NEXT New York
One day, two ways to engage
The morning is a hands-on, in-depth session for data professionals building a governed data layer. Bring your laptop and bring your own data. Attendees can explore Omnigent applied to data engineering work without needing to be a VaultSpeed customer.
The afternoon includes VaultSpeed NEXT speaker sessions with customer stories from Thomson Reuters, product news, and a panel discussion on data foundations for AI agents.
Build the foundation for agents to scale on
AI agents are entering the enterprise. But they are only as trustworthy as the data foundations they reason over. Most organizations have manual, fragile, and undocumented foundations.
- Agent-ready data foundations with governed, machine-readable data layers
- Governance incorporating design-time lineage and active metadata
- Automated progression from raw data to governed data products
