Event Details
Who's Invited
Join an exclusive group of your peers for a candid, closed-door discussion on how enterprises are finally tackling their most critical database estates, the revenue-bearing, compliance-bound systems that every modernization program quietly defers.
Over a private dinner, senior technology leaders will share honest perspectives on what forces these migrations now, where managed cloud database services fall short, and how to move mission-critical workloads without risking a business interruption.
This invite-only roundtable is designed for senior technology, infrastructure, and data leaders, including:
-
CTOs and CIOs
-
Heads of Infrastructure, Cloud, and Platform Engineering
-
Database Engineering, Operations, and DBaaS leaders
-
Data Engineering, Data Architecture, and Enterprise Data leaders
-
Director-level and above across SRE, DevOps, FinOps, and Data Center Operations

Discussion Points
Migration Without Optimization Is Just Moving the Problem
Migration failure isn't rare, it's the default outcome - and the pattern holds even more sharply for workloads that can't tolerate a bad cutover: core banking, trading, transaction processing. But the bigger issue is often what happens after: teams treat migration as the finish line, when the real prize is a database estate that's faster, cheaper, and easier to run once it's there.
These aren't failures of technology so much as failures of complexity management, interconnected applications, legacy dependencies, and compliance obligations that make lift-and-shift feel like the safe option, even when it just relocates the same cost and performance problems to a new address.
Are you actually getting more value from the cloud, or just paying cloud prices for the same old problems?
Did complexity push you toward the "safe" migration option, even when it wasn't the right one?
What's the database cost or performance issue you don't know you have yet?
