###  [DAMA Day - Unleash the power of AI in Data Management](https://dama-ny.com/DAMA_DAY_MAY_2026) 

Denodo is a sponsor and presenter at DAMA Day in New York City. This year’s event will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a key topic in modern data management.

Our session will explore the broader implications of AI and its impact on various aspects of data management. We will also take a deeper dive into the modern AI initiatives often stall due to the massive cost and time sink of moving legacy data into a central cloud storage before an AI agent can even begin to work.

**DATE**: Thursday, May 7 – 11:50 AM - 12:30 PM  
  
**TITLE**: Beyond the Bot: The Logical Data Foundation for Agentic AI

Modern AI initiatives often stall due to the massive cost and time sink of moving legacy data into a central cloud storage before an AI agent can even begin to work.

Drawing on 2026 AI Readiness research and cross-industry benchmarks, Inessa Gerber explores how market leaders are bypassing this hurdle. This session provides the architectural blueprint to:

- Fuel AI Instantly: Use a logical foundation to connect AI models to your existing, distributed data—wherever it lives—without the delay of physical migration. Provide the real-time context required for truly autonomous action.
- Govern the Autonomous: Implement the real-time "explainability" and guardrails required by high-stakes compliance and internal risk teams for autonomous workflows.
- Production in Weeks, Not Years: Shift from a high-cost "collecting" model to an agile "connecting" strategy. Deliver auditable, AI-ready capabilities on your business timeline, not IT’s.

Learn the data-driven framework for turning fragmented silos into production-ready, autonomous intelligence.  
  
**SPEAKER**: Inessa Gerber, Director of Product Management at Denodo
