About this event

Storm Charles vs. AI & Data Community. Challenge Accepted! ⚡

Storm Charles may have canceled Day 2 of Web Summit, but the conversations don’t have to stop!

We’re Keewano, the team behind KeewanoDB, a database built from scratch for AI agents and machine reasoning at scale. And we’re not letting Charles dictate our agenda! 🌪️

With Web Summit’s Wednesday program canceled, we’re taking matters into our own hands and bringing the AI & Data community together for an impromptu virtual event featuring thought-provoking talks, live demos, and community lightning talks.

🎤 What’s on the agenda?

1. What Happens When Machines Become the Main Consumers of Data?

Mark Kardashov | Co-Founder & CEO, Keewano

Working with AI agents on data analytics is quickly becoming the standard for data analysts and decision makers. But is the data infrastructure underneath optimized for this new reality? In the age of agents, the way we analyze data is fundamentally changing. Mark Kardashov, CEO and co-founder of Keewano, explores what this shift means for data infrastructure and data modeling, and whether today’s data stack is ready for what comes next.

2. Technical Deep Dive + Live Demo of Keewano

Tomer | Solution Engineering Director, Keewano

From theory to practice! A technical session exploring what machine reasoning looks like under the hood, with a live demonstration of KeewanoDB and how it enables AI agents to work with massive amounts of event data in real time.

3. Community Lightning Talks

Did the storm cancel your stage? Come take ours! 🎤

We’re opening the virtual stage to the AI & Data community for a series of 5-minute lightning talks.

Were you supposed to speak at Web Summit? Or maybe you’ve been working on something interesting that deserves an audience? Whether you’re a founder, engineer, researcher, or AI enthusiast, we’d love to hear from you.

A few guidelines for lightning talk submissions:

Talks must be related to AI, data, agents, infrastructure, or relevant technologies.

Each speaker gets 5 minutes.

No sales pitches, please!

Speaking slots are limited. We’ll review submissions based on relevance and available time, so not all submissions can be approved.

Selected speakers will receive confirmation and further details.

Interested in speaking? Submit your proposed topic and a short description through the registration form.

🌩️ The stage may be closed, but the conversation isn’t.
