Orchestrate Everything: Online Data Engineering Conference

An online data engineering conference on 16 September 2026 exploring how Apache Airflow powers production AI workflows, practical MLOps and orchestration at scale. ETL was only the beginning. Orchestrate Everything brings together data engineers and engineering leaders to examine how orchestration is evolving for AI,from inference and MLOps to context engineering and emerging workload patterns. Rather than focusing on pilots or prototypes, the programme promises first-hand accounts from teams already running AI workflows in production. Hosted by the London Apache Airflow® Meetup Group, this online network event starts at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, 16 September 2026. It is being hosted across 33 groups, with more than 130 attendees already listed on Meetup. ## What to expect The conference combines production stories, practical guidance, previews and live learning. Sessions will cover: - Real orchestration stories from engineering teams shipping and operating production AI systems - Practical orchestration patterns spanning MLOps, AI inference and context engineering - Hands-on tips that attendees can apply to their own data and AI workflows - A first look at new capabilities from Astronomer, including features designed for AI workloads at scale - Perspectives on where data and AI orchestration is heading next The production-led focus makes this particularly relevant to data engineers, AI and data-platform practitioners, engineering leaders, and people working across artificial intelligence, big data or data science. The material is centred on operational systems and implementation patterns, so it should be especially useful for those building, scaling or evaluating orchestrated AI workflows. ## Airflow certification crash course Apache Airflow expert Marc Lamberti, creator of Data with Marc, will lead a preparation crash course for the new Astronomer Certified AI Orchestration Fundamentals exam. Attendees can ask questions live and will receive a discount code allowing them to take the certification free of charge,a stated value of $150.… Register for this event
