Experience the vibe of Current NOLA! Big insights, thought-provoking conversations, and real voices from the data streaming community.#current25.

From the heart of the expo hall at Current NOLA, this special episode drops you into the conversations, energy, and the breakthroughs as they happened. Host, Joseph Morais, and co-host, Adi Polak talk with data streaming leaders and community voices to unpack how teams are using Apache Kafka and Apache Flink to power low-latency, AI-ready applications—covering patterns from usage-based billing and hybrid operations to cost efficiency and streaming governance. You’ll also hear how shift-left processing and governance make AI-ready data possible at scale.

What does the future hold for agentic AI? Lucia Cerchie predicts a shift from chatbots to more agent-to-agent interactions built into real-world business workflows.

AI is transforming not only the way we work, but what we value as work. Success in this new era won’t come from chasing efficiency alone, but from cultivating cultures where AI empowers people, strengthens purpose, and drives innovation with trust at the center. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Teddra Burgess, founder of Chasing Outcomes, joins host Paul Muller to explore how AI is reshaping not just work, but what we value about work. Teddra lays out a practical path to building an “AI-anywhere” culture: start with outcomes (not tools), empower every function (not just IT), and lead with trust, purpose, and adaptability.
