7:50 PM – Q&A, Discussions & Networking

Keynote: Building a Real-Time Lakehouse on Iceberg (Without Losing Your Mind)
Speaker: Yingjun Wu (CEO, RisingWave)
Abstract: Everyone makes streaming sound simple – until you try bolting it onto your batch pipeline and it blows up. This talk skips the marketing gloss and gets into the real work: how to make batch and streaming actually play nice. I’ll walk through the essentials, then get into the messy parts – compaction, primary key updates, exactly-once delivery, and keeping your compute bill from spiraling. You’ll learn how to plug RisingWave into your existing stack and get real-time results without rewriting everything. It’s based on what we’ve seen in production – real problems, real fixes, no buzzwords. Customer Story: Transforming Legacy IT – From Empirical Systems to Data-Centric Architecture.

Customer Story: Transforming Legacy IT – From Empirical Systems to Data-Centric Architecture.
Speaker: Charlie Eissen
Abstract: Based on a large retail project, discover how to evolve an IT system built through incremental layers (monoliths, [micro]services, streaming, governance, applications…) into a data-centric, real-time, high-performance system, where governance, rule and data catalogs, data mesh, and scalability are integrated by design—not as add-on layers.

Customer Story: From Scratch Project – Facts & Rules
Speaker: Olivier Parmentier (1point6)
Abstract: How 1point6, a fintech founded by BNP Paribas and the 321 startup studio, uses RisingWave to build a declarative, fully auditable information system operating payment services.

Introducing Allium: Methodology, Platform & Community for Building Modern IS and Applications
Speaker: Charlie Eissen
Abstract: Allium is a methodology and platform designed to rapidly build translytic, data-centric, real-time, multi-application information systems. It defines the true value of a system around three main pillars worth investing in: UI/UX, data, and business rules (even more so in the era of AI). The result of years of projects and modern technologies, Allium puts the focus on managing "quality"—the source of endless discussions and failures, even in the age of "agility". If questions like “Is the business requirement fully specified before development?”, “Will the solution scale?”, “Will the code be maintainable, and at what level of quality?”, “Do we share a common, aligned vision of the IS?”, “Are there undetected gaps before implementation?” resonate with you, Allium will be of interest. Whether you’re a project owner, investor, inheritor of the notorious “monolith,” application designer, architect, data professional, developer, agile coach, designer, project, or program manager… you might just be surprised by this solution.

Let’s Take Action - Franck Parienti (Business Digital)
Speaker: Charlie Eissen
Abstract: Looking to launch an R&D or POC project inspired by what you’ve seen? Franck Parienti will explain how to best leverage training budgets and available grants to upskill your teams on these new technologies, or how to kick off projects by reinforcing your teams smartly.
