IBM and Databricks together

IBM’s hybrid data, governance and enterprise data fabric capabilities expand the Databricks platform’s workload reach into highly regulated or sovereign environments. They deliver consistent lakehouse experiences across environments and enable compliant AI powered by all data across cloud and on‑premises environments.

Join IBM at the Databricks Data and AI Summit—a global event that brings together thousands of data practitioners, leaders and visionaries from more than 160 countries. The summit explores the latest in lakehouse, open source, AI/ML and more.

Tuesday, 16 June | 12:20 PM–12:40 PM Expo Theater #5

AI agents can dramatically accelerate your ability to react to new information and make trusted decisions—but only when they have the right context from your data.

However, preparing datasets for each individual AI use case is time-consuming and expensive hindered by fragmented data landscapes, inconsistent governance and data complexity.

In this session, learn how to power AI agents with real-time context from unstructured and structured data across hybrid data landscapes—without migration. Empower your AI agents and your business to act with confidence.

Speakers:

Victor Povar, Generative and Agentic AI Sales Leader, IBM

Tuesday, 16 June | 3:00 PM–3:40 PM (South Esplanade, Rm TBA)

AI doesn’t deliver value in the lab—it delivers in production. In this live demo, see how IBM moves from building agents with IBM Bob™ to running them at scale with watsonx Orchestrate®, the enterprise AI control plane. We’ll show how agents go from creation to real-world deployment, with full visibility, governance and control. This system is what enterprise AI looks like when it’s not a pilot—but a system you can trust and scale.

Speakers:

Ed Anuff, CPO Data, IBM
Erik Duffield, Americas Data Transformation Services Leader, IBM
