Your Wi-Fi drops. Your AI agents improvise. Your dashboards stay suspiciously green. If any of that sounds familiar, come to Châtenay-Malabry.

Lidl France opens its doors for an afternoon of real stories from production, with no slideware and no sales pitches. We'll hear how they keep the Wi-Fi alive in stores and warehouses, and how Generali keeps an eye on AI agents before those agents start making decisions of their own. We'll also cover what .conf26 announced while you were busy fixing incidents.

And a few surprises along the way. We're not saying more. 🤫

The agenda includes:

• Lidl France & Schwarz Digits IT: when a scanner loses Wi-Fi, the whole warehouse stops. Here is the Splunk framework Lidl built to find out why and keep it from happening again.

• Generali (AI, agentic & agent supervision): Laurent Yanwoah on observing AI agents in production. He covers what to monitor, how to trace an agent's decisions, and why "it worked in the demo" is not a monitoring strategy.

• Splunk .conf26 recap: the announcements that matter, including the new AI capabilities, sorted into what you can use on Monday and what is still on the roadmap.

• Open discussions: bring your hardest problems. Someone in the room has already lost a weekend to the same one.

Lunch is included and so is the afterwork. Whether a good observability talk can beat a free lunch is something you'll have to judge on the day.
