PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Building a RAG System for Video Search and Analysis

Wednesday September 3, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PDT

Elizabeth Fuentes Leone, AWS, Developer Advocate

This talk addresses the challenge of making video content searchable and analyzable using modern AI techniques. While text and image RAG systems are common, video presents unique challenges due to its multimodal nature combining visual frames and audio content.

PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Building New Cost-Effective Analytics Platform with Open Source tools for Fanatics

Wednesday September 3, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT

DataWeek -- Main Stage

Bhanu Cherukumille, Fanatics, Director - Data Engineering

At Fanatics, we previously relied on a mix of in-house, open-source, and commercial tools for Analytics and BI. To streamline and modernize our data ecosystem, we built a unified platform — a "one to rule them all" solution — powered entirely by an open-source stack: Kafka, StarRocks, and Superset. The result? A cost-effective, high-performance, and feature-rich platform that unlocks powerful new capabilities for the business.

PRO Session (DataWeek): Intelligent Automation of Data Engineering Workflows with LLMs

Thursday September 4, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PDT

DataWeek -- Main Stage

Manohar Sai Jasti, Workday, Analytics Engineer

I will share how I developed an AI-driven system to transform raw SQL into production-ready dbt models using Large Language Models (LLMs). By combining retrieval-augmented generation techniques with dbt’s semantic framework, I automated SQL refactoring, modularization, testing, and documentation. This approach accelerates data engineering workflows, reduces manual effort, and enables scalable, production-ready analytics pipelines. I will walk through the architecture, challenges faced during scaling, validation strategies for AI-generated SQL, and key lessons learned from deploying this solution in real-world environments. Attendees will gain practical insights into applying LLMs for data workflow automation, improving pipeline quality, and driving faster AI productionization across modern data stacks.

PRO Session (DataWeek): Data Sovereignty in the Age of AI

Friday September 5, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PDT

DataWeek -- Main Stage

Michel Tricot, Airbyte, Co-founder and CEO

This session will explore the intersection of data sovereignty and artificial intelligence, addressing how organizations can maintain control of their valuable data assets while still leveraging the power of AI. Drawing from extensive experience building open-source data infrastructure solutions, Michel will illuminate the challenges companies face when integrating AI into their data ecosystems without compromising ownership, security, or compliance requirements.

The session targets data leaders, CDOs, and enterprise architects who are navigating the complex landscape of AI adoption while maintaining strict data governance standards. Michel will share practical frameworks for implementing a self-managed data integration strategy that enables AI innovation while preserving first-party data sovereignty—a crucial consideration as regulatory requirements around data protection continue to evolve globally. Attendees will gain actionable insights on building resilient data architectures that support AI initiatives without surrendering control of sensitive information.

This session aligns perfectly with Data Week's focus on "Data Engineering & Governance" and "AI & ML" tracks, offering attendees a unique perspective on balancing innovation with control. Conference participants will benefit from Michel's vision of how open-source data integration infrastructure can serve as the foundation for responsible AI development, empowering organizations to build competitive advantages while maintaining complete sovereignty over their data. The presentation will include real-world examples of companies that have successfully implemented these principles.
