Data + AI Summit by Databricks kicks off June 15 at Moscone Center, and I'll be on the ground all four days doing on-site interviews.
One company I'm spending real time with is Monte Carlo. I've known their CEO and co-founder Barr Moses for years, and her team has built one of the strongest presences at the Summit this year. Here's the full rundown so you can plan your week.
Booth #206, all-day demos
The headline demo is Meet the Agent That Debugs Your Agents. It's a live walkthrough of how to monitor agent inputs, operations, and outputs so you actually know why an agent failed instead of guessing. You can also sit down 1:1 with the team. Bring your architecture, your pain points, your edge cases.
The numbers behind the platform are hard to ignore. Forrester measured a 358% ROI, customers report 6,500 hours saved and 80% faster root cause analysis, and Monte Carlo has held the #1 spot on G2 for eight straight quarters. Over 400 enterprises use it, including Nasdaq, Roche, Honeywell, and JetBlue.
Three sessions to put on your calendar
Tuesday, June 16 at 12:40pm: Lenny Rosenfeld, VP of Data Science and Software Engineering at Nasdaq, joins Barr Moses for a 40-minute breakout on building trusted AI foundations in one of the most regulated industries in the world.
Tuesday, June 16 at 5:20pm: Andrew Machen, Head of Data Governance at American Airlines, and Barr Moses on certifying AI-ready data assets at enterprise scale.
Thursday, June 18 at 10:40am: Barr Moses on why enterprise AI agents break in production and the observability practices that fix them. If you only catch one theater talk all week, make it this one.
Caf(ai), open all week at 4th and Howard
Complimentary drinks, a chill space, and agent walkthroughs, daily from June 15 to 18. In my experience, the best Summit conversations happen over coffee, not in session rooms. This is that spot.
On Tuesday, June 16 at 5pm, Caf(ai) turns into the Spritz Happy Hour. Cocktails and conversation with co-hosts including AWS, Dagster, Hex, MotherDuck, DataHub, and more. One room, every corner of the modern data stack. This is the networking event of the week.
For senior leaders
On June 17 from 6:30 to 9pm, Monte Carlo is hosting the Data + AI Leaders Dinner Club at a brand new restaurant from a two-time Michelin Star and James Beard Award winning chef. Invite-only, built for senior data and AI executives. Request an invitation: [Dinner Club invite link]
I'll be sharing interviews, photos, and takeaways throughout the week, including time with Barr. If you're at the Summit, come say hi. If you're not, consider this your seat at the table.
Best,
Ravit Jain
Founder & Host of The Ravit Show
