Snowflake’s Pavan Pothukuchi explains why enterprise AI agents still struggle to act on systems of record, and how governed data platforms, semantic layers, and scoped agent identity close the gap. For enterprise leaders, agent autonomy has become a data architecture decision.

On the Six Five Virtual Webcast, Kestra's Kai Waehner explains how AI agents acting across fragmented automation are moving governance out of individual tools and into a unified orchestration layer. Enterprises that define accountability, access control, and sovereignty requirements in that layer first can scale agents without losing end-to-end control.

As AI adoption accelerates, Zoho's Raju Vegesna argues enterprises must rethink sovereignty beyond data residency to include who owns the models processing that data. Vegesna joins Six Five to explain why retaining AI intelligence, not just information, determines whether a company remains a customer or becomes a hostage to its technology provider.

Sharad Kumar, Field CTO – Data at Qlik, joins host Brad Shimmin to offer insights on how Qlik’s Open Lakehouse on Apache Iceberg empowers enterprises to operationalize AI, streamline data management, and achieve significant cost efficiencies.

Steve Kearns, GM of Search Solutions at Elastic, joins Brad Shimmin to discuss how Elastic is redefining AI search, context engineering, and developer experience to help enterprises build smarter, more relevant AI applications from day one.

Carl Perry, Senior Director of Product Management at Snowflake, joins Brad Shimmin in a keynote discussion for Data As Infrastructure: Decoded to share how Snowflake is blending open data standards, native AI tools, and unified governance to shape the future of enterprise data intelligence.
