It's a wrap! ✨ Thank you to all our partners for your support this year and for helping bring the data and AI community together in Bucharest 🤝 🔵@eSolutionsTech 🔵@MetalSoftCloud 🔵@cloudera 🔵@endava 🔵@EPAMSystems 🔵 ING Hubs Romania 🔵@Zitec 🔵@cegeka #bdw2026

🔵 Inside an NVIDIA Spectrum-X fabric deployment: Andrei Tomus from @MetalSoftCloud, explains how #FabricManager handles switches, BGP EVPN, tenant networks, connectivity checks, and HGX migration - from deployment to ongoing operations. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🔵 A large table, cron jobs and an LLM could not reliably track the lifecycle of millions of items. Catalin Gheorghiu from @EPAMSystems explains the move to #Fabric #DigitalTwins and how the twin model and #AIagents divide the work. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

Take a break with @CegekaRomania . Meet the team and ask them how data and AI fit into the rest of the stack: applications, cloud, security and the workplace around them. #cegeka #partnerships #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🔵 What takes GenAI from a KYC demo to a dependable financial-services process? Ovidiu Toader from ING Hubs Romania examines business value, data quality, governance, adoption and process redesign & what the team would do differently from day 1.#bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🟦 In his workshop, Zsombor Fedor, Solutions Engineer at Cloudera, takes raw events through #Spark into an #Iceberg lakehouse table. Participants explore upserts, schema evolution and time travel, then use the same data for #analytics and #AI. #bigdataweek #bdw2026

🔵 Marius Costin from @eMAG shares 3 pillars behind the shift from #BI to #DecisionIntelligence: organize teams around business verticals, measure decision adoption and quality, not dashboard count, and bring insights to where decisions happen. #bigdataweek #bdw2026

Make sure to stop by the Cloudera booth and talk data with the team. Hybrid platforms, open #lakehouse and what it takes to run #analytics and #AI on the same data. #cloudera #partnerships #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

Spotted the little black box at @eSolutionsTech booth? It’s Alteus Appliance: private AI running on-prem, with data kept in your environment. Stop by to see assistants and agents grounded in company knowledge, with governance and monitoring built in. #esolutions #alteus #bdw2026

🔵 Cristina Gurguta from INSUS shows how industrial AI turns predictions into explainable decisions. Her case aims to use less material without compromising quality. ML estimates. Optimization searches. GenAI explains. Experts decide. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🟦 Gabriel Preda, Principal Data Scientist at Endava, is building a Marathon Planner Agent with Google ADK. Participants add dynamic instructions, load domain Skills, connect spatial tools through MCP, inspect tool calls and deploy to Cloud Run. #bigdataweek #bdw2026

🟦 Emil Calofir and Marian Simpetru from eSolutions.tech guide business professionals through choosing useful agentic AI applications and no-code tools, and understanding how agents can coordinate multi-step work with human oversight. #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

The @EPAMSystems stand is the place to slow down for a minute. Say hello, see what you’d look like as an AI superhero and ask the team how they take AI from an idea into a system that has to run. #epamromania #partnerships #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🔵 “Louder” ≠ “better.” Stefan Koehler from PrAIvate uses a concert metaphor for reliable #RAG: tune the whole system, not only the model. Fluent answers aren’t always grounded, so each step needs testing. Models change. The system must survive. #bigdataweek #bdw2026

☕ Between sessions, take a moment to enjoy a coffee from Tchibo România! Catch up with fellow attendees, recharge and get ready for the next conversation at Big Data Week Bucharest. #Tchibo #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

✨ Start a meaningful conversation with the ING Hubs Romania team and enjoy a surprise along the way! A good place to talk software, data, cloud and AI and meet the people building the future of banking. #inghubsromania #partnerships #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🔵 What keeps #AIagents stuck in pilot? Mark Tolstov from @datadoghq examines three pressures: time to a trusted result, security risks in prompts and tool access, and costs that surface too late. His focus: what to measure before deployment. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

🔵 Dan-Mihai Dinu, CTO at SOLO, on how AI reshapes software development. Developers need to understand product and business context, must review generated code and own the outcome. As coding gets easier, judgement and ownership matter more. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

Day 2 begins: Applied AI at Big Data Week Bucharest 2026. #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest

The sessions may be over, but the conversations continue at tonight’s networking party. 🥂Thank you to our speakers, trainers, partners, and everyone who joined us today. See you tomorrow for #AppliedAI! #bigdataweek #bdw2026 #bdwbucharest
