> 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/

**Use Case Guide: Proactive Alerting.** A use case guide to Atlan's proactive issue alerting: identifying and communicating data problems before consumers notice them. Data users lose confidence when they hit dashboard errors, missing data points, or broken pipelines, which delay decisions and can introduce legal, regulatory, and reputational risk.

## About this guide

### What the guide shows

- Integration with data quality tools such as Great Expectations and Monte Carlo.
- Propagating issue signals across dependent assets via lineage.
- Automatic alerts in users' preferred channels through integrations such as AWS EventBridge and webhooks.
- Announcements, custom metadata badges, and Chrome extensions that surface trust indicators where users consume data.
- Frameworks for quantifying business impact, and customer success stories.

The goal: reduce risk, increase trust in data, and scale adoption by preventing costly mistakes and the hidden costs of bad data.
