For BitPeak, the last quarter of the year is traditionally the conference season. It is an intensive but very important period for us, because conferences give us the opportunity to meet clients and partners, understand the challenges they face, and share the experience we gain in our projects.

Less than a month ago, we invited our guests to a business breakfast with Databricks, where we shared our knowledge of how to prepare data for AI agents. In November, we continued this knowledge exchange on two conference stages: Pharma Planet 360° and DAMA Day Warsaw.

Where pharma meets data and AI

For us, the first week of November began at VIII Forum Pharma Planet 360°, a two-day conference that brought together more than 380 leaders of the pharma and medical sector in Warsaw. As we did in June at Digital Evolution for Pharma & Medical – another event by the same organizer devoted to technological innovation in this field – we took the chance to share our perspective and experience in developing data and AI solutions for the industry.

On the first day, Sebastian Kamiński gave the talk “AI agent will calculate everything. But does it understand your business?”. He started from a situation many companies know: AI agents now often support analysis in sales, marketing and finance. Sebastian then showed how shared definitions, structured data and a semantic layer decide if the agent’s answers are reliable. At the end, he shared five questions that help a company check whether it is ready for AI.

On the morning of the second day, Michał Kołodziejski moderated the panel “Turning Data into Business Value: A CEO Perspective”. Joining him on stage were top executives of STADA, Zentiva, Super-Pharm and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. During the discussion, they looked at how data improves business results and what stops companies from becoming data-driven. They also talked about how CEOs should set priorities for investments in AI, digital and people.

Beyond the sessions, Sebastian, Michał, together with Rafał Rząd, our Senior Client Partner, spent both days in conversations with participants, where they exchanged views on data and AI in pharma and made many new contacts that we look forward to developing.

Data governance for the AI era at DAMA Day

On the first day of Pharma Planet, part of our team was at another event in Warsaw. At DAMA Day Warsaw 2026, the data management community met under the theme “From Ownership to Outcomes: Governing Data for the AI Era”. For us, it is a meeting with a community we know well: BitHikers are active members of DAMA Poland Chapter, the Polish part of DAMA International, a global not-for-profit organization that develops good practices in data management. As more companies prepare their data for AI, the knowledge this community shares matters more each year.

This year, Wojciech Chybowski represented BitPeak on stage with the talk “The useful dozen: How AI is changing data management”. He showed that modern data platforms already use twelve distinct AI mechanisms, and explained how they work in data quality, metadata and master data.

Wojciech has worked with DAMA for many years, and this year the DAMA Poland Chapter board gave him a Certificate of Recognition for his contribution to data governance and data management in Poland. Congratulations!

Beyond the talk, visitors could learn about BitPeak’s perspective at our stand. There they could meet our team of experts: Krzysztof K. Zdeb, Michał Kołodziejski, Andrzej Szczechla, and Piotr Siemieniuk. Our experts were ready to talk about data strategy, data architecture and data governance in practice. Thank you to everyone who stopped by with questions and challenges from their own organizations.

What we take from both events

Pharma Planet 360° and DAMA Day Warsaw brought together different audiences, but in both places the conversations came back to the same point: AI delivers value only when it works on data people understand and trust.

Thank you to the organizers, the panelists and everyone who talked with us during these two events. We look forward to continuing these conversations at the next events.
