Why Context Matters: Data Contracts, Data Products and AI

Grab a drink and pull up a seat at The Lord Roberts, because we're talking data, AI, and why context is the secret sauce nobody wants to admit they're missing. Everyone's racing to build AI into everything, but here's the awkward truth: if your data is a mess, your AI will be too. Join Jean-Georges "JGP" Perrin (Chair of the Linux Foundation's Bitol Project and Actian's Technology Strategist) as he breaks down why Data Contracts and Data Products are the unsung heroes of trustworthy analytics and AI. He'll be joined by Charlie Wood and Amir Hamza from Actian, who'll show off a live demo of Data Contracts in action before we open the floor for a panel discussion where you can grill all three of them with your toughest questions. Expect good conversation, better company, and zero corporate jargon overload. Whether you're knee-deep in data governance or just AI-curious and want to understand what actually makes these systems reliable, come pull up a chair, enjoy a drink on us, and stick around after for more chat and networking. Doors open early for drinks and mingling before the main event kicks off.
