Lakehouse, Lagers & Legends [Dallas]: Building Compound AI Systems with Genie Code & Genie Ontology

​About This Session

​Join us for an exclusive after-hours session with Sairam Kamal Raj, Senior Solution Architect at Databricks, as we explore how the next generation of AI applications is being built with compound AI systems, Genie Code, and Genie Ontology.

​As AI moves beyond individual models and simple prompts, the real opportunity is connecting models, data, business context, and intelligent workflows into systems that can reason, act, and continuously deliver value.

​In this technical session, we’ll explore how Genie Code and Genie Ontology can help teams build AI systems that understand enterprise data and business context—moving from isolated AI experiments to scalable, production-ready AI applications.

​Whether you’re a data engineer, AI engineer, architect, analytics leader, or simply exploring what’s next in enterprise AI, this session will give you practical ideas and architecture patterns you can take back to your team.

​Why Join

• ​Understand Compound AI: Learn how multiple AI capabilities can work together to create more powerful and reliable AI systems.

• ​Explore Genie Code: See how Genie Code can accelerate development and help teams interact with data and build AI-powered solutions more naturally.

• ​Unlock Business Context: Discover how Genie Ontology can connect data, relationships, and business concepts to give AI systems a deeper understanding of enterprise information.

• ​See It in Action: Follow practical examples and demonstrations that bring these concepts to life.

​About Lakehouse, Lagers & Legends

​What started as a few meetups for data engineers has turned into a worldwide community of people who live and breathe data. Each event blends two things our crowd cares about most: sharp, practical sessions on the latest in data engineering and a relaxed setting to trade ideas over a cold drink.

​Every stop is a little different- new city, new voices, fresh conversations but the core stays the same: bring smart people together, share real-world lessons, and spark collaborations that carry on long after the night ends.
