MCAQuayside Room"Get it Right"
Everyone has the same AI models. What separates enterprises is how fast they learn. In the agentic era, one job belongs to everyone in this room: get it right. Satyen Sangani revisits last year's predictions, shares what Alation learned, introduces AIOS, the Alation Intelligence Operating System, and maps the real paths customers in this room have taken. He'll close with a bold look at what comes next, and the one decision to make before you leave the room.

MCAQuayside RoomAI Governance- Governing at the Speed of AI
A regulated financial institution shares how it tackled one of the fastest-growing governance gaps in the enterprise: AI assets deployed across multiple platforms with no unified view, no audit trail, and no clear path to regulatory compliance. Using Alation AI Governance, the team built a single registry spanning models and agents, mapped obligations to APRA standards, and established regulation-driven approval workflows with a complete audit log. The session covers the practical reality of standing this up — right-sizing evidence requirements and what it takes to go from fragmented AI management to a defensible compliance posture.
