Your idea. Your agent.

Bring an Idea. Leave with a Working Agent.

Build the next generation of AI applications at the Data Streaming Summit Hackathon. Combine real-time Kafka data, continuous SQL processing and Managed Agents to create intelligent applications that monitor, investigate, recommend and act. Get hands-on, team up, build your own agent-powered experience, and show it in action.

What You’ll Get

A Ready-to-Build Environment

Every team will get access to a dedicated StreamNative environment, including: Kafka cluster, Real-time data streams, SQL Workspace, Agent Workspace, Managed Agents, Starter examples, and Technical guidance.

Guidance from StreamNative Experts

StreamNative engineers will be onsite throughout the day to help with architecture, streaming data, SQL, agent development, integration, and troubleshooting.

The Freedom to Build Your Idea

There is no prescribed challenge or technology path. Build an agent that applies real-time data to any meaningful, real-world scenario. Use StreamNative’s agentic capabilities or integrate the streaming environment with a third-party agentic platform—the choice is yours.

Show What You Built

Take the stage and demonstrate your creation. Show the audience the problem you tackled, how your agent uses streaming data, and what becomes possible when AI can understand events as they happen.

FAQs

Build an agent that uses real-time data to solve a meaningful real-world problem. Use StreamNative’s Agentic AI capabilities or connect its real-time data platform to a third-party platform. Define your own challenge, explore your ideas, and show what agents can do when they understand events, make decisions and act in real time.

No AI expertise is required. Start with a hands-on morning tutorial, with StreamNative engineers available throughout the event. Join as an individual or team, with support to connect individual participants. Recommended team size: 2 participants.

Bring your laptop and charger, a willingness to experiment, your own idea or curiosity to explore one, and your preferred development tools. We’ll provide the StreamNative environment, sample data, starter resources and onsite technical support.

Ready to Build What’s Next?

Real-time data gives AI agents the context to understand and act. Join us at Data Streaming Summit for a day of learning, building and experimentation. Limited to 50 participants — reserve your place today.
