Technology leaders share how they process streaming events end-to-end in sub-second latency, secure sensitive data through immutable and governed pipelines, power secured real-time systems in regulated environments, and enable multi-agent AI systems built on fresh, continuously streaming data.

In this episode, Dana Gardner sits down with three industry experts from Snowflake: Rosemary DeAragon, Rinesh Patel, and Tim Long to explore how AI will transform retail, financial services, and global manufacturing in 2026. Together, they break down the forces reshaping consumer behavior, enterprise operations, and competitive dynamics across these sectors. Across all three industries, one theme is clear: in 2026, AI will no longer be a side experiment. It will be a foundational driver of growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage.

Architecture diagrams are crucial, but the complexity of modern systems demands a better way to communicate. WSO2 CTO *Asanka Abeysinghe* and Lead Solutions Engineer *Erandi Ganepola* break down the L0-Ln Methodology—a simplified, level-based approach to visual abstraction. Watch our Words Unplugged video to discover how this scales from a team view to an organization-wide enterprise architecture, providing durable anchors (L0) and change-friendly details (L1-Ln) that evolve with the business.

Software development is hard, especially when you have to ensure every component works together; it's an integration maze! And running a full stack (like React, Go, and Postgres) on your dev machine often means one thing: running out of memory! The Fix: We'll show you how to use Proxymock to record your components, effectively letting you run the frontend (or any component) completely isolated.

Tired of complex setups and running out of memory just to test one component? Learn how to use Proxymock (a FREE tool) to solve your biggest testing headache: component isolation! This demo shows you how to record and mock interactions across a complex React, Golang, and PostgreSQL stack, allowing you to find bugs before they ever hit production. In This Demo: This strategy lets you easily isolate components, simulate customer behavior, and ensure quality with lightning-fast local testing.
