> Atlan is hosting Context Conference, bringing together the leaders and builders at the frontier of giving AI the context it needs to understand their business. 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. Register: https://atlan.com/context-conference/

**Atlan in Action live demo with Google Cloud.** Dataplex governs your GCP estate. Atlan makes it AI-ready. A 60-minute live demo with open Q&A from Google Cloud and Atlan experts, for teams governing a GCP-first AI data stack.

**Status as listed on the page:** Concluded / Apr 1 / Virtual / 11 AM ET. The session page: [https://atlan.com/live-demo-series-atlan-gcp-dataplex-2026/](https://atlan.com/live-demo-series-atlan-gcp-dataplex-2026/).

## About this session

Governed data isn't the same as AI-ready data. AI needs context: business meaning behind every asset, lineage, and trust signals that tell it whether the data is worth acting on. That's what Dataplex and Atlan solve together.

In this session, you'll see what that looks like in practice: cross-stack lineage, metadata enriched with business meaning, and a GCP estate that's governed and AI-ready at the same time.

## Speakers

- Lu Yang, Head of Product, Google Cloud
- Chandru Sugunan, Group Product Leader, Atlan
- Razi Shafiq, Partner Sales Engineer, Atlan

## What you'll see

1. **The Dataplex + Atlan partnership in action.** Metadata moves bidirectionally between Dataplex and Atlan, each platform getting richer because of the other. Dataplex governance signals flow into Atlan's context layer; Atlan enrichment flows back. The two platforms work as one intelligence layer for your GCP estate.
2. **End-to-end lineage from BigQuery to Looker.** Atlan stitches your GCP stack into a connected lineage graph: BigQuery, dbt, Looker, column-level, near real-time. Impact analysis runs downstream and root cause is traced upstream in seconds. No manual mapping. No lineage gaps.
3. **Make your GCP data ready for AI agents and Vertex AI.** AI on GCP needs context, trust, and governed access. Dataplex's native governance combines with Atlan's context layer to give Vertex AI and your AI agents the signals they need before they query: ownership, quality, freshness, policy status.
4. **A practical roadmap for governing GCP at scale in 2026.** Google Cloud and Atlan on what leading enterprise teams are building with both platforms: the patterns that scale, the gaps the integration closes, and what governing a GCP-first AI data stack looks like today.
