CONFERENCE AGENDA

8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:00am – 9:50am: The Future of Enterprise Architecture: Exploring the Role of ChatGPT in Automating Business Processes and Enhancing Decision-Making

 

Andrew McGrath, VP, Digital Product Strategy, KeHE Distributors

 

In this presentation, we explore the transformative potential of the generative pertained transformer (GPT), a cutting-edge AI technology, and its impact across various industries. Executives seeking a deeper understanding of this revolutionary tool will gain insights into its technical workings, diverse use cases, and its role in unlocking a new phase of business intelligence.

 

Key Points:

1 – Technical Overview: Delve into the world of generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) at a high level, providing executives with a grasp of the underlying technology without overwhelming with technical details. Learn how GPT models leverage deep learning to generate human-like text responses, revolutionizing human-machine interactions. Concepts like vector space, embedding vectors, attention mechanisms, and backpropegation will be discussed in simple and understandable ways.

 

2 – ChatGPT Use Cases and Current Projects: We will explore a range of compelling use cases currently in use or in development of GPTs across industries, including technology services, financial services, and construction materials supply. Discover real-world projects that highlight the tangible benefits and positive impacts of ChatGPT.

 

3 – The Fourth Stage of Business Intelligence: Uncover how ChatGPT represents a pivotal shift in business intelligence, unlocking new capabilities and offering a groundbreaking user interface paradigm. Learn how this advanced AI technology can empower organizations to gain valuable insights, analyze vast volumes of data, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy.

9:50am – 10:20am: Refreshment & Exhibit Break

10:20am – 11:10am: Six Trends That Will ‘Make Or Break’ Your Data Strategy

 

Mike Woods, Vice President, General Manager – Central, Evangelist, Denodo

 

 

Putting data to work in your business is changing rapidly and the challenge is growing exponentially. It’s hard to keep up with the demands of putting all of that data to work.

 

It seemed like only yesterday we only had to rely on moving data into our trusted data warehouse from which we could do our reporting and analytics. Nowadays, we have an alphabet soup of technologies that are supposed to help us meet the voracious data needs of the business but yet not much has changed in our success rate.

 

What if there was a better way?

 

What if we could futureproof our data and analytics capabilities today to keep from having to rebuild them in a few years’ time, as new technologies, approaches, methodologies and processes emerge?

 

In this session, we will look at six trends – and their underlying technologies – that should influence your future data strategy for long term success.

11:10am – 12:00pm: How Mature is Your Enterprise Architecture? 5 Steps to Maturity

 

Lee Bogner, Global Chief eCommerce Enterprise Architect – Senior Enterprise Architect Leader, Mars, Inc.

 

As Enterprise Architecture (EA) practices balance the mature domain of traditional IT governance, while embracing the dynamically transforming worlds and ecosystems of digital business model innovation – new foundations, skills, missions, and methods – will enable enterprise objectives of capturing emerging and driving mature markets growth.

 

Today’s session showcases helpful steps with a common nomenclature and constructs for guiding and creating value-based innovation vision by EA teams and Partner organizations, and across internal and external ecosystems!!

 

 

 

 

12:00pm – 12:40pm:  Lunch & Exhibit Break

12:40pm – 1:30pm: Evaluating Low-Code and How it Changes Enterprise Architecture

 

Craig St. Jean, Chief Technology Architect, Low Code, Xebia

 

 

Low-code has been around for a long time, but for several years now, it has been a key player in disrupting how technology solutions are delivered. Low-code platforms have helped us to modernize our Enterprise Architecture, from development to deployment to monitoring. See what evaluations we made, and how our architecture has evolved over time since further adopting low-code.

2:20pm – 2:50pm: Refreshment & Exhibit Break

2:50pm – 3:40pm: Enterprise Architecture – Optimizing Application Performance for Enterprise Cloud Cost Efficiency

 

Jay Patel, Senior Sales Engineer, Azul

 

Businesses need high-performance applications to retain customers and grow revenues. With IT budgets and inflationary pressures rising, companies are focused on delivering great digital customer experiences, while controlling cloud costs.

 

In this session, we’ll look at how companies are using a faster, more efficient, and more scalable Java runtime to solve challenges – including:

  • Carrying capacity (‘throughput under SLA’)
  • Performance tuning in a CICD environment; and
  • Improving microsecond performance

 

Learn how leading IT teams are succeeding in dealing with a tough budgetary environment and the need for high-performance applications.

 

Join us to learn practical tips in using optimized Java virtual runtimes for better performance and reduced total infrastructure costs.
