SUMMARY:Kafka Is Just the Beginning. Turn Real-Time Data into Trusted AI wi
 th IBM and Arrow
LOCATION:Innovation Theater
DESCRIPTION:Sam Martin\n\nMost AI projects don't stall because of the model
 . They stall because the data is scattered\, out of date and hard to trust
 . With Confluent and IBM\, there's a clear path from real-time events to g
 overned\, AI-ready data. Arrow walks you through a practical reference arc
 hitecture\, built and tested in Arrow experience centers. Tableflow lands 
 streaming topics as Apache Iceberg tables\, ready to query in watsonx.data
 . IBM watsonx.data integration manages pipelines. IBM watsonx Orchestrate 
 gives AI agents live\, trusted context. Learn which patterns hold up in pr
 oduction and how to start small without rebuilding your Kafka environment.
  See it working together in an Arrow experience center before you invest. 
 Then take it from proof of value to production. By attending this session\
 , your contact information may be shared with the sponsor for relevant fol
 low up for this event only.
