The schedule is live. Now the question is: what will your three days at ODSC AI West look like?
With 200+ hands-on sessions across 9 tracks, you can build an agenda around the work you actually do and the problems you need to solve next.
Explore sessions on agentic AI, AI engineering, evaluation, ML, data infrastructure, Physical AI, developer tools, AI leadership, and more.
Whether you’re building models, deploying agents, engineering AI systems, leading technical teams, or deciding where AI belongs in the business, there’s a track built around the work.

The hardest AI benchmarks may come from the people who already know exactly where models fail.
At ODSC AI West 2026, Brian Smith, Director of Solutions for GenAI Projects at @iMeritDigital, will present “Building Hard Benchmarks with Academic Experts: Best Practices from a Phonology Eval.”
Brian combines hands-on GenAI work with a PhD in Linguistics and 10+ years of experience analyzing language data and building predictive models.
In this talk, he’ll share how iMerit is working with academic experts to create more demanding reasoning benchmarks, using a phonology evaluation as the case study. He’ll cover expert recruitment, benchmark design, theoretical guardrails, model-breaking problem creation, validation, and collaborative workflows that turn domain expertise into useful evaluation data.

AI applications can only reason with the context they receive. If that context is hours old, the model is already working with an outdated version of the world.
At ODSC AI West 2026, Sujay Jain, Senior Software Engineer at @netflix, will present “Fresh Context at Scale: Streaming Pipelines That Keep AI Applications Connected to a Changing World.”
Sujay has helped build Netflix’s real-time data infrastructure, including its Streaming SQL platform and Data Mesh, which processes around 14 trillion events a day across recommendations, search, live events, games analytics, and advertising.
In this talk, he’ll share practical patterns for building real-time context pipelines using Apache Flink, Kafka, CDC, Flink SQL, Iceberg lookup joins, data contracts, autoscaling, and observability, from capturing changes at the source to delivering fresh context where AI applications need it.

What should you do when the same AI agent gives two different answers to the same question?
At ODSC AI West 2026, Diane Lin, Tech Lead at @datadoghq, will present “Why Your Agent Disagrees With Itself (And What To Do About It).”
Diane leads work on self-improving AI agents for security teams and brings experience across Datadog, Culminate, Zscaler, Amazon Alexa, and Vicarious.
In this session, she’ll show why agent inconsistency often comes from ambiguous decision boundaries rather than simple model failure and how teams can use active learning, semantic memory, episodic memory, and targeted human review to make agents more consistent over time.

Meet Delphina AI on October 27–29 in San Francisco!
Delphina helps data teams turn trusted company context into answers, research, and data apps that business teams can actually use.
Its Context Factory uses AI agents to build, test, and maintain the definitions and context behind company data, while data teams stay in control of approvals. Users can then ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in governed warehouse data, with the underlying charts, tables, and SQL available for review.
Meet the Delphina AI team at ODSC AI West to explore a more reliable way to bring AI-powered analytics beyond the data team.

What if your team could analyze multimodal data and generate forecasts without moving data into separate ML systems?
At ODSC AI West 2026, Praveen Akunuru, Data Analytics Customer Engineer at Google Cloud, and Damien Contreras, Data Cloud Specialist, Strategic AI at Google Cloud, will lead “Multimodal Analytics and Zero-Shot Forecasting with Google Cloud.”
Praveen brings experience scaling distributed data systems and large migrations, while Damien works with frontier AI labs on the data infrastructure behind LLM pre-training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
In this interactive lab, attendees will use BigQuery AI to analyze PDFs and images alongside structured data, then apply foundation models such as TimesFM directly to live data for zero-shot forecasting, without a traditional model-training pipeline.
