 The anti-conference 
 Where AI & Data Leaders, Engineers & Architects Build What’s Next 

  21st May 2026 | London

AntiCon Gradient BG LS

What's In Store for AI & Data?

Enterprise AI doesn’t run on hype, it runs on infrastructure, data and engineering. This is the Anti-Conference for the people who design, build, and scale AI inside the enterprise.
Created for: Chief Data Officers, Data Engineers & AI/ML Engineers, Platform & Cloud Engineers, Solutions Architects, Data Scientists, IT Infrastructure Leaders, Digital Transformation & Innovation Architects. If you touch the data, the stack, the pipelines, the architecture or the models then this stream is yours.

The stream will cover these topical themes:

  • Architecture | Designing the AI-Native Enterprise. How modern data platforms evolve to support LLMs, vectorisation, real-time inference & scalable AI workloads.
  • Engineering | Building & Deploying AI at Scale. MLOps, LLMOps, CICD, observability, testing, orchestration, DevOps patterns and the pipelines that make AI production-ready.
  • Governance | Trust, Safety, Compliance & Control. Lineage, quality, metadata, risk, model governance, responsible AI frameworks and embedding safety into enterprise architecture.
  • Intelligence | Real-Time Data, Analytics & Decisioning. Streaming architectures, feature stores, analytics engines and the operational intelligence layer powering automated decisions.
  • Automation | RPA, BPA, IPA & Autonomous Systems. Building intelligent workflows connecting data + AI + automation. From process mining to next-gen digital workers.
  • GenAI Engineering | LLMs, RAG, Agents & Copilots. Applied GenAI, vector DBs, agent frameworks, prompt engineering, model optimisation and scalable RAG pipelines.
  • Data Foundations | Integration, Quality & Metadata. The core of everything: governance, cataloguing, standards, integration patterns, security & data quality at enterprise scale.
  • Platform | The Modern AI & Data Stack. Cloud, compute, storage, orchestration, lakes, warehouses, mesh, fabric, APIs, and the end-to-end infrastructure powering AI.
