PRESENTATIONS

Orchestrating AI Knowledge Bases with Apache Airflow

Tho Lebrun, Senior Data Engineer & Technical Manager at Ippon Technologies USA
Theo will present how Airflow can be leveraged to manage & update AI knowledge bases across multiple data sources. We'll dive into the architecture, demonstrate how Airflow enables efficient data extraction, transformation, & loading (ETL), & share insights on tackling challenges like data consistency, scheduling, & scalability. Whether you're building your own AI-driven systems or looking to optimize existing workflows, this session will provide practical takeaways to make the most of Apache Airflow in orchestrating GenAI solutions.
Running Apache Airflow Locally & Reliably

Damian Shaw, Software Engineer, GTS
As a small team in GTS, we administer Apache Airflow to merge dozens of internal & external data sources & produce daily reports-some of which are time-sensitive before the U.S. equity market opens. Due to various constraints, such as no reliance on cloud services, & data segregation, we operate entirely on onsite virtual machines. This talk explores how we meet these demands while keeping Airflow stable & adaptable to our evolving needs.
How to Customize & Extend Airflow

Jake Roach, Associate Sales Engineer, Astronomer
As your Apache Airflow usage matures, the need for customization becomes essential to optimize workflows, enforce best practices, & extend functionality. This session dives into how you can tailor Airflow to fit your unique requirements by creating Custom Operators & Sensors, leveraging Plugins, & implementing Cluster Policies. Whether you're looking to streamline your DAG development, enforce organizational standards, or unlock new capabilities, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to take your Airflow expertise to the next level.
Please note- this event is for individuals in the data space who have knowledge of & a passion for Apache Airflow. Guests who do not fit that criteria will not be permitted to enter the event.
