Steve’s Session will discuss ‘Data Management: The Unsung Hero of the Agentic AI Revolution’
As agentic AI ushers in a new era of autonomous intelligence and decision-making, the real catalyst for success is often overlooked: robust data management. In this session, Steve Holyer will explore how comprehensive data management forms the backbone of agentic AI delivering clean, trusted, and accessible data at scale.
Steve brings deep expertise in enterprise data strategy, having spent over two decades helping global organisations unlock the full value of their data. With a background spanning data architecture, governance, and AI enablement, Steve now leads Informatica’s strategic engagements across EMEA helping organisations build resilient data ecosystems that underpin regulatory compliance, scalable AI adoption, and data-led digital transformation.
His talk will unpack how strong data pillars including Governance, Quality and Privacy serve as strategic foundations for agentic AI, enabling systems to learn, adapt, and evolve with confidence. Drawing on real-world examples, Steve will explore how strong data practices empower organisations to move beyond experimentation and embed AI into core operations with trust and scale.
For leaders, technologists, and innovators, it’s an unmissable opportunity to explore how the future of AI starts with the integrity of your data.
