Leaders from Ally Financial, BBC, Electronic Arts, Flutter and Veolia to Present at Alation's revAlation 2026 Conference Series
Across Chicago, London, and Sydney, data and AI executives and industry thought leaders share what production-ready AI actually looks like
Redwood City, CA – September 9, 2026 - Alation Inc., the creators of the intelligence operating system, today announced the return of revAlation, its global conference series. The 2026 series encompasses three conferences: Chicago (September 17), London (September 30), and Sydney (October 8).
Executives and industry thought leaders from Accenture, Ally Financial, AWS, BBC, Electronic Arts, Flutter, MyState Limited, PwC, SanjMo, Veolia, and more will present in more than 20 sessions around the globe. Sessions focus on the problems most pressing for leaders undergoing AI transformation: governing AI assets and proving compliance on demand, scaling governance without scaling headcount, and moving agents from pilot into production on a trusted data foundation. Attendees will also get an exclusive preview of Alation's product roadmap and leave with frameworks they can apply immediately.
"Every enterprise now has AI running somewhere. Few can prove it's accurate, governed, and audit-ready," said Satyen Sangani, CEO and co-founder of Alation. "When an agent gets it wrong, most teams can’t tell whether the failure was in the data, context, or agent itself. revAlation is where the leaders who solved that problem showcase their work, inspire others, and compare notes.”
Conference Highlights Include:
Corporate Keynote: Hear Alation's CEO and co-founder, Satyen Sangani, share why the organizations that succeed with AI will be those that learn fastest and how AIOS provides the trusted, self-improving foundation they need to align decisions, adapt continuously, and innovate safely at scale.
Product Keynote: Join GT Volpe, VP of Product at Alation, for a live look at what's next across AIOS, and how the platform brings governed data, context, and AI agents into a single system. Attendees will be among the first to see Alation's newest capabilities, announced live from the revAlation stage.
Customer Keynote: Gain firsthand insights from Alation customers, including Warren Durrett, Sr. Director of Product Data, AI, and Monetization at Electronic Arts, and Sarah Higham, Head of Data Enablement, and Paul Courtney, Director, Data Enablement & Responsible AI at Flutter, as they walk through what they built, what it took to govern it, and the business outcomes they delivered.
Partner Spotlight: Meet the Global System Integrators, including PwC, and partners building on AIOS, on how a governed data foundation turns compliance work into sustainable & production-ready AI, and the new engagement models it opens up.
Industry: Sanjeev Mohan, former Gartner VP of Research and author of Designing the AI-Driven Data Foundations, shares what his research and the day’s conversations reveal about where the industry is heading. Learn how leaders are building on years of investment in catalogs and governance to give AI agents the trusted business context they need and the practical steps organizations can take now.
Peer Engagement and Networking:
Hackathon: Ahead of the main conference day in Chicago and London, AIOS Hackathon attendees will learn from Alation customers including CNA, Ally Financial, and Evernorth and build new AI-driven outcomes with Alation deployment strategists and leading System Integrators.
AI Radicals Awards: Inspired by the AI Radicals podcast, these awards celebrate the individuals and companies putting AI to work in the real world, recognizing those setting the standard for accuracy, governance, and impact.
