It runs online on October 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar opens and closes the day. Leaders from AstraZeneca, BNY and Verizon share why they invest in context and what they get from it. Registrants get early access to The AI Context Gap, a new study from MIT Technology Review Insights.

Details as listed on the page: - **Dates:** June 15-18, 2026 - **Venue:** Moscone Center, San Francisco - **Booth:** #313 - **Book a meeting:** [https://atlan.com/databricks-meeting/](https://atlan.com/databricks-meeting/) ## Spotlight sessions - **The Enterprise Context Layer: Why Agents Fail — and the Fix — Demystified and Demoed.** Prukalpa Sankar, Co-founder & Co-CEO, Atlan - **Mastercard's "Context by Design": Engineering AI-Ready Data Products at Scale.** Vivek Radhakrishnan, SVP, Data & Analytics, Mastercard ## See the Context Layer in action At Databricks Data + AI Summit, see how Atlan's open context layer sits between your business systems, including Databricks, and every AI agent you build, from custom agents to Genie Spaces and Agentbricks. The page's diagram shows the Enterprise Context Layer connecting business systems to Databricks Genie, custom agents, and third-party agents via MCP, SQL, and A2A. ## Featured sessions Production stories from the teams running AI agents at scale. Real architectures, real context layers, real outcomes. ### Atlan | The Enterprise Context Layer: Why Agents Fail — and the Fix — Demystified and Demoed Tuesday, June 16 · 1:50 PM – 2:30 PM · Moscone South, Level 2, Room 211. Speaker: Prukalpa Sankar, Co-founder & Co-CEO, Atlan. Everyone's talking about context layers. Nobody agrees on what one is: a semantic layer with a better name? A knowledge graph in a trench coat? AI is moving from pilot to production, and it made data teams into janitors: cleaning up hallucinations, debugging agents. But the context agents need most is what data teams already own. The definitions, the lineage, the institutional knowledge. That's not a cost center. It's your most strategic AI asset. You already have Databricks, maybe Unity Catalog too. But your agents still don't know which "revenue" definition to use, which tables to trust, or what the business actually means. The gap between pilot and production isn't a model problem. It's a context problem. Join Prukalpa Sankar to see it live: dark Databricks tables become AI-ready (automated lineage mapped, AI-bootstrapped definitions added, Context Quality Score green) and a Genie query returns a governed response via MCP. All live. All on stage.

Speakers: Vivek Radhakrishnan, SVP, Data & Analytics, Mastercard; Brian Piel, Vice President, Mastercard; Austin Kronz, Director of Data & AI Strategy, Atlan. At Mastercard, trust has always been the product. For six years, that trust has been engineered in layers: privacy by design, then data by design, and now context by design. Each evolution built on the last. Now, as AI agents begin transacting at the speed of commerce, the latest layer matters most: an Enterprise Context Layer, built on Databricks, that machines can read, reason over, and act on without human intervention at every step. Learn how engineering and enablement co-own context as a dual mission (and why the productive tension between them is the reason governance actually sticks), how automated metadata and human-centered product thinking combine to build AI-ready data products on Databricks, and how this foundation sets the stage for text-to-SQL and conversational search, and every AI use case that follows.
