The Foundation of Modern Intelligence

The morning opens with a visionary look at how AI is being re-architected for a world where intelligence no longer lives in a single model, cloud, or data center—but operates across a global, interconnected fabric of infrastructure and applications. Renen Hallak, Founder and CEO of VAST Data, will outline how the convergence of data, compute, and AI platforms is reshaping the technology landscape and what it truly takes to build the foundation for intelligence that runs everywhere.

Joined by customers and partners deploying AI in production today, this main stage conversation will highlight how organizations are building new systems, new operating models, and new possibilities powered by the VAST AI Operating System.
