1. A Front-Row Seat to the ibi Product Roadmap

The summit kicks off with a massive look into the horizon. You will hear directly from leadership, including Ali Ahmed (President, TIBCO business unit of Cloud Software Group), Dan Ortolani (General Manager & Senior Vice President, ibi business unit of Cloud Software Group), and Porter Thorndike (Senior Manager ATS, ibi business unit of Cloud Software Group), as they lay out the formal ibi Product Roadmap. This session is your opportunity to understand upcoming features, platform expansions, and how ibi is evolving to make your day-to-day data pipelines smoother and more intelligent.

2. Specialized Analytics and Customer Insights

We are also proud to host a highly anticipated special session featuring Howard Dresner of Dresner Advisory Services, who will join Porter Thorndike to dive deep into current market trends and the changing landscape of data intelligence. Following market insights, you will hear directly from your peers during a dedicated Customer Panel, where seasoned data veterans will share real-world case studies detailing how they overcame complex deployment challenges using ibi solutions.

3. Bring Your Laptop: Hands-On Labs & The Expert Room

This isn’t an event where you just sit and watch slides. The core of the agenda is built around multiple tracks of Breakout Sessions and Hands-On Labs. These technical deep dives allow you to build workflows, learn hidden platform shortcuts, and adopt best practices alongside specialized trainers.

Even better, our popular Expert Room will be fully open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM EDT throughout the event. Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops and actual deployment questions directly to our product specialists. You can drop in casually or pre-book a 1-on-1 slot in advance to resolve your team's trickiest technical hurdles.

4. Unmatched, Complimentary Networking

The best breakthroughs often happen over breakfast or between breakout sessions. The ibi Summit brings together hundreds of data engineers, architects, and business leaders who share your exact operational challenges. Best of all, access to the event is completely complimentary—though spaces are strictly limited to ensure high-quality interactions.
