David Kjerrumgaard

David Kjerrumgaard

David Kjerrumgaard is a Developer Advocate at StreamNative and a committer on the Apache Pulsar project, where he focuses on the intersection of real-time data streaming and agentic AI. With over a decade of experience building distributed systems at scale, he helps organizations connect AI agents to the live data and tools they need to operate in production.
David's current work sits at the foundation of an emerging discipline he calls context engineering — the practice of designing data infrastructure for AI agents. He explores how streaming platforms like Apache Pulsar and Apache Kafka serve as the event-driven backbone for multi-agent systems, how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) extends to streaming primitives, and how lakehouse-native architectures make real-time agent infrastructure both reliable and cost-efficient.
He is the author of Pulsar in Action (Manning) and co-author of Practical Hive (Apress), and an active committer on Apache Pulsar with contributions to Apache NiFi. As an internationally recognized speaker, David has presented at conferences worldwide — including NDC London, ApacheCon, Community Over Code, Devoxx, and Data Streaming Summit — and was named a Sessionize Most Active Speaker for 2024.

David's career spans hands-on engineering and technical leadership at companies that have shaped modern data infrastructure. He served as Principal Software Engineer on Splunk's messaging team, focused on real-time data analytics at scale. Prior to Splunk, he led solutions architecture at Streamlio and served as Global Practice Director at Hortonworks, where he architected enterprise-scale streaming and big data platforms for Fortune 500 organizations across financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

His talks combine deep technical content with the practical lessons learned from years of production deployments. Whether explaining how to govern AI agents at the data layer, designing event-driven multi-agent orchestration patterns, or wiring live data streams into LLM context windows, David's sessions are grounded in working code and real-world architectural tradeoffs.
David is passionate about open source as the foundation for the agentic AI era. He believes the same open standards, durable infrastructure, and community-driven evolution that powered the rise of modern data streaming will define how the next generation of AI agents reaches production. Through his writing, speaking, and code contributions, he works to bridge the streaming data community and the emerging agent ecosystem.

Nathan Rose

Nathan Rose

The last wave of Power Platform was about building apps. The next one is about building agents and that's where I now spend my time.

I'm a Power Platform Solution Architect and Microsoft MVP in Auckland, working AI-first: designing agentic solutions that actually do the work, not just chat about it. That means Copilot Studio agents wired into real business processes, Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Dataverse to give those agents grounded, governed access to enterprise data, and M365 Copilot extended so it works the way an organisation actually operates.

What I bring: • Agentic solution design Copilot Studio, autonomous and triggered agents, and the orchestration patterns that make them reliable in production • MCP + Dataverse connecting agents to trusted enterprise data with the right grounding and governance, not bolt-on prompts • M365 Copilot extensibility agents, plugins and connectors that extend Copilot into real workflows • The architecture underneath Dynamics 365 CE, Power Apps and Power Automate, so the AI layer sits on solutions that hold up • Recognised at the edge of this work

Microsoft MVP and part of the team behind the attempted Guinness World Record at the Microsoft Agent Hack

I think and build in the open sharing the experiments, the dead ends and the "hang on, what if I tried it this way?" moments, because this space is moving too fast to learn any other way.

📌 Open to select engagements in agentic AI on the Microsoft stack Copilot Studio, MCP/Dataverse, M365 Copilot. If you're trying to move from Copilot demos to agents that deliver, let's talk DM me.

Please note that Sessionize is not responsible for the accuracy or validity of the data provided by speakers.

Most Active Speakers 2024

Every year, we put together a list of the most active speakers. This list features the top 3% of speakers who have participated in events using Sessionize during the 2024.

The 3% is calculated from the pool of all speakers that have at least one accepted session in year 2024. We don't include inactive speakers or speakers that had no accepted sessions during the year. There are around 38,000 unique accepted speakers this year, the 3% is 1036. Not all of them have their speaker profiles set as public, and we respect that, so the list doesn't show all of them.

The calculation is based on the number of accepted events, that's the main criteria, but to get more refined results we also look at things like multiple sessions per event, sharing a session with a co-speaker and how big the event is. Number of submissions and declined sessions don't affect the list.

Please note that the count of events and sessions in this list does not represent the number of events and sessions from the year 2024. Instead, it shows the number of events and sessions featured on the speaker's public speaker profile; these numbers have nothing to do with the award itself.
