Most enterprises are betting big on AI. Most of those efforts will fall flat.

If you haven’t registered yet, there is still time to join us on Sept. 24 for keynotes at
CData Foundations 2025 that will bring you unfiltered guidance from two of the biggest names in AI: Google and ServiceNow. Hear how Google is shaping AI connectivity, with new approaches for agents to safely share data and take action at scale. They'll share how to avoid the pitfalls that doom most AI projects.

Powering enterprise agentic AI with Google's A2A and CData
Philip Stephens, Senior Staff Software Engineer, Google

Google pioneered Agent-to-Agent (A2A) interoperability, a standard that lets agents collaborate with one another across different platforms and environments. Hear directly from Google's engineering leadership in conversation with CData on how A2A is being deployed in the enterprise today, lessons learned from early adopters, and why rich, connected data is the foundation that makes interoperable, data-driven agents possible.

Rewire your enterprise with connected data for autonomous agent
Sarab Narang, VP of Generative AI GTM, ServiceNow

ServiceNow has become a leading voice on enterprise-ready agentic AI. Sarab will show how enterprises can rewire their data connectivity and governance so agents have the real-time access needed to avoid project failures and deliver outcomes the business can trust.

These Foundations keynotes will show you how to avoid the data gaps and governance failures that sink most AI projects and give you the strategies to build a durable market advantage.

See the full agenda here, including a compelling session with Ellie.ai.

Plus get access to all Day 1 content on Data & Analytics (Sep 17th) when you register.
