The Future of Data & AI Anywhere - Cloudera's North American data and AI conference
About This Event
Cloudera EVOLVE26 New York is the North American stop on Cloudera's annual global data and AI conference, held 27 October 2026 at the Marriott Marquis on Broadway in New York City, with a pre-day of executive forums, workshops and a welcome reception on 26 October. The 2026 series runs across four cities - Singapore, Sao Paulo, New York and Dubai - under an 'anywhere cloud' theme: running AI against data wherever it sits, across public clouds, on-premises data centres and the edge. The New York agenda splits into three breakout tracks, Sovereign AI Anywhere, Data Anywhere and a Technology Showcase, and closes with Cloudera's Data Impact Awards and a networking celebration.

Why Attend
This is the one day a year Cloudera puts its CEO, CRO, chief product officer and CTO on the same stage as the customers running its platform, so a data platform owner can pressure-test a hybrid or sovereign AI plan against people who have already shipped one. The Sovereign AI Anywhere track is aimed squarely at buyers who cannot move regulated data into a public cloud, covering private model serving with predictable cost, agentic workloads and centralised governance. Partner conversations with AWS, Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, IBM and Protegrity happen in one room, and the pre-day customer executive forum is where roadmap and architecture questions get asked directly.

What Makes This Unique
- ★Cloudera's entire executive bench - CEO Charles Sansbury plus the chief revenue, product and technology officers - presents at a single-day regional event, which is unusual at this scale.
- ★The Sovereign AI Anywhere track addresses the specific problem Cloudera exists for: running AI against data that legally cannot leave a given data centre or region.
- ★A one-day commitment in midtown Manhattan rather than a three-day Las Vegas trip, with an optional executive pre-day for existing customers.
- ★The Data Impact Awards are presented here, so the customer sessions are shortlisted production deployments rather than pilot stories.
- ★Runs in four cities globally (Singapore, Sao Paulo, New York, Dubai), so the New York agenda is the North American cut of one global programme.
