About Autonomous 26

Enterprise data architectures were built for a world of analytics, pipelines, and centralized assumptions. The agentic era is changing the requirements. From data observability moving to the core and management evolving into active control to hybrid compute becoming more important, what once lived in separate layers is being forced into a new architectural model. Autonomous 26 brings together the leaders, ideas, and debates shaping that rewrite.
