Co-Innovating Next-Gen Data Solutions for the Agentic Era
Couchbase, Tuesday, October 20th, 2026
Couchbase CEO BJ Schaknowski's Catalyst 2026 opening keynote on getting data infrastructure ready for agentic AI.
In the opening keynote of Couchbase Catalyst 2026, CEO BJ Schaknowski asks whether enterprise data infrastructure is ready for AI that acts rather than just answers.
He examines market forces including the cost of multi-vendor sprawl and autonomous applications that need live, sub-millisecond context. He describes how Couchbase co-innovates with customers, turning their requirements into product direction.
He argues the winners of the agentic era will collapse complexity into a single, governed source of operational truth. The session runs October 20, 3:00-3:25 PM.
