NetworkingThe Agentic Enterprise: AI Comes of Age
Enterprises are moving beyond AI experiments and copilots for individual productivity toward the next stage: the Agentic Enterprise, where AI agents drive insights, decisions, and workflows at scale. In this session, Rahim Bohjani, CTO of Dremio, will outline the enterprise AI maturity journey and show why most organizations are still stuck between prototypes and production outcomes. Through live demos and real-world use cases, you will see how Dremio’s open lakehouse platform provides the intelligent data foundation needed to advance. It delivers semantic consistency, zero ETL federation, autonomous optimization, and built-in governance. Learn how organizations can progress from isolated AI pilots to enterprise-wide impact, and why rethinking data architecture is essential for making AI deliver real business value.
Trusted Data Solutions - Medical Data Platform with STACKIT and Dremio
Trusted Data Solutions in sensitive industries such as healthcare and the public sector must combine sovereignty, compliance, and scalability with the ability to integrate diverse data sources.
Danyel Gros and Marcel Just from STACKIT will share insights into how the sovereign cloud foundation of STACKIT and the open lakehouse platform of Dremio work together to provide consistent access, built-in governance, and efficient data management without heavy integration overhead.
This combination will be illustrated through the example of a Medical Data Platform, showing how sensitive information can be managed securely while enabling a scalable and future-proof data foundation for research and healthcare services.

BreakSovereign Lakehouse in the Field: How to Make Complex Architecture Simple Again
The lakehouse has become the dominant paradigm for modern analytics and AI, but its inherent complexity often frustrates enterprises. In this session, Thomas Zeutschler from BARC takes a neutral analyst’s perspective to explore how the lakehouse has evolved from buzzword to production reality, where the true challenges lie, and how innovations are making life easier for both data engineers and business users. With a special focus on data sovereignty and sovereign cloud platforms such as StackIT, the talk will highlight when a single-platform strategy makes sense and when a multi-vendor approach delivers the best of both worlds. Expect praise, critique, and a few laughs along the way.
Behind the Scenes: DATEV eG's Journey to Self-Service Analytics with Dremio
In this session, DATEV outlines their data landscape and discuss pre-Dremio challenges. They showcase their current self-service analytics process using Dremio, detailing their technical infrastructure.
Dremio @ Schaeffler: Data for Everyone, Not Just IT
Ever felt like accessing production data requires a secret handshake with IT – and maybe some cookies? At Schaeffler, our data scientists decided it’s time to break the cycle. In this session, we’ll share how we’re using Dremio to make large-scale production data AVAILABLE TO ALL – no magic spells or endless helpdesk tickets required.
We’ll take you through:
The not-always-easy journey from “Can I have that dataset, please?” to true data democratization
Two real-world use cases that sparked our transformation, including our motivations and guiding principles
What it looks like behind the curtain
Where we’re heading next – AI, chatbots, and whatever disruptions come our way!

BreakSQL, Scripts, and Automation: Navigating ELT Strategies in the Lakehouse
This talk takes you on a journey through the evolution of data transformation—from traditional rollout processes rooted in data warehouses, to modern, automated workflows designed for the lakehouse. We’ll explore practical approaches using Dremio and declarative frameworks like dbt, highlighting how teams can transition toward scalable, maintainable solutions. The session concludes with a look at Agentic AI: what’s already possible today, and where intelligent automation might take us next.
