Exasol Xperience 25 Agenda

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, the role of data sovereignty is becoming increasingly critical, especially in the context of rising geopolitical tensions and diverging global data regulations. This panel will dive into how data sovereignty is shaping AI innovation, competitiveness, and trust across borders, with a particular focus on the contrasts between Europe and the U.S. Industry leaders and policy experts will explore who’s leading the AI race, which sectors are falling behind, and how data control is influencing everything from national strategies to enterprise decision-making.
This session will examine the deeper implications of digital independence and how companies can responsibly navigate the intersection of AI, compliance, and global influence in an era where control over data is both a strategic asset and a source of friction.

bank99 replaced their legacy warehouse with a solution stack based on Exasol and the RED framework within just one year and even put up a completely new self service BI reporting in this short time. In this lecture you will learn about the pain points of bank99 with the legacy solution, their way forward with Exasol and their learnings and benefits of the solution they see known when looking back on the project

Join us to explore how LBBW leverages Exasol to optimize processes in financial controlling while ensuring transparent data dependencies!

In this two-part presentation, we will showcase how our in-database strategy has significantly enhanced system performance and user experience:

In-Database Business Rules: A high-performance framework that minimizes data movement, empowers business users with flexible rule adjustments, and enables real-time “what-if” analyses for improved quality assurance.

In-Database Lineage: An automated approach to capturing and analyzing data dependencies directly within Exasol — eliminating the need for external metadata connectors, reducing complexity, and ensuring up-to-date lineage insights.

Join us for an exclusive and interactive financial services roundtable to explore and discuss the latest advancements and trends in data management, analytics, and innovation. In the dynamic financial world, those who effectively utilize data are the winners. This session is designed for you to come with great examples and probably also challenges and to provide you valuable insights into how banks can leverage cutting-edge technologies to drive efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and stay ahead in a competitive landscape. Engage with industry experts, thought leaders, and peers to share experiences, exchange ideas, and forge valuable connections.

Our roadmap and release session gives you an exhilarating look into the future of Exasol – and the future is bright! We will walk you through our upcoming Xperience product launch, further cementing Exasol as the fastest analytics query engine, while extending our solution to Data Lakehouse and even more use cases. Our dedicated product team will be on stage to showcase a suite of exciting new features: ease of use and scalability improvements to make Exasol an even more lovable product, thrilling improvements in our core database to offer better than ever performance and broader fundamental capabilities, and cutting-edge AI & ML innovations that will help you transform your organization.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to discover how Exasol is pioneering new innovations and continuously evolving to power your data driven success!

The semantic layer revolutionizes how companies interact with their data by transforming complex data queries into simple commands, breaking down technical barriers, and enabling true data democratization. It acts as a data translator, creating a unified data truth for everyone from BI enthusiasts to Excel users and database professionals. Data modeling and querying through conventional SQL code are simplified, allowing for the integration of data outside the model. Using the example of the project at OTTO, we demonstrate how the centralized, high-performance, and flexible architecture ensures improved data quality, efficiency gains, and cost savings. The ESL as streamlined OTTO’s data operations by improving query efficiency and reducing complexity. It dynamically generates tailored queries, minimizing reliance on complex joins and redundant SQL statements, making data access faster (cutting query times from minutes to seconds) and reducing IT workload.

The scalability of a database is mostly defined by data growth and the increase in the number of users. The ability to scale across application scenarios is also an important criterion. In this regard, the extensibility of a database’s functionality is an indispensable requirement. A powerful framework is needed to successfully implement future and currently unimaginable application scenarios.
Exasol provides a container-based implementation for the flexible extension of the Exasol database’s functionality with the User-Defined Functions (UDF) framework. Learn and discuss in the breakout session how to create and use individual language environments for Python and user-defined functions.

Meet the AI Tech Team and delve into the AI Lab, learn more about Text AI, find out about GPU acceleration, and even get demos. Learn how these tools operate and how they can be utilized to accelerate AI implementations, driving value for businesses. This session is tailored for technical innovators who wish to examine the details and build innovative solutions.

Dive into the essentials of optimizing queries and data models. Discover what performance is, why it’s important, and how to do things right. Topics covered include Count Distinct, Expression Joins, and Global and Local Joins.

In this session, different techniques for modifying queries or data models to achieve better performance will be demonstrated. The examples used are based on actual cases from our support and consulting teams, adapted to utilize the TPC-DS benchmark data model for easy reproduction.
