PRESENTATIONS
Talk #1: Airflow + AI : Orchestrating the Intelligent Stack
Speaker: Shrividya Hegde, Airflow Champion & Sr. AI Data Engineer
In this session, we'll explore how Apache Airflow - the battle-tested orchestration platform already running in your data stack - has evolved to become a first-class runtime for AI workloads. We'll dig into the six hardest problems of AI orchestration (reliability, cost control, provider lock-in, human oversight, observability, & integration complexity) & show exactly how Airflow & the new apache-airflow-providers-common-ai package address each one.
You'll leave understanding how Airflow's durable execution model eliminates wasted API spend on retries, how HookToolset turns 350+ existing provider hooks into AI agent tools with zero new authentication setup, how built-in Human-in-the-Loop review gates bring enterprise governance to agentic workflows, & why Airflow's provider-agnostic connection layer lets you switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, & 20+ other models without touching a single DAG.
We'll also compare Airflow's approach to alternatives like LangChain, CrewAI, Prefect, & AWS Step Functions - & make the case that Airflow isn't competing with AI frameworks; it's the production floor they should run on.
Talk #2: Airflow for AI workloads
Speaker: Vikram Koka, Chief Strategy Officer at Astronomer & Airflow Committer & PMC Member
