Next Query 2026
The next query may come from a person, an app, or an AI agent. Is your data team ready to answer all three?
Whether you're building customer-facing analytics, real-time analytics, or agentic AI applications, chances are another team has already run into some of the same problems. NEXT QUERY 2026 is one free virtual day to learn from them.
Engineers from Apple, AWS, Cisco, Coinbase, Intuit, Microsoft AI, and more are sharing what worked in production, what broke, and what they'd do differently.
