Hello all!
With Knowledge 2026 around the corner, I am very excited to meet you all. As I know you are getting ready, I am very glad to share this game plan and get ready tips for it with you!

As many of you know, I am Paul, 4 times MVP, and I work in the Consulting & Solution Architecture space.
This will be my 6th time attending Knowledge, and if I’m honest, every year used to start the same way: a fully packed agenda, trying to attend as many sessions as possible.
But most of those plans never got executed. It felt like trying to boil the ocean.
Last year, I changed my approach. Instead of covering everything, I focused only on topics I was either planning to implement or genuinely curious to explore. I built a realistic, focused agenda and it worked extremely well. So I’m continuing that approach this year.
For Knowledge 2026, my focus is very intentional. Given the volume of AI-related sessions, I’m narrowing down to areas that truly matter from an enterprise architecture and solutioning perspective. My priority topics this year are AI Agents and AI Governance, especially around how they scale, operate, and deliver value in real environments.
Alongside that, I’ll also be spending time on Voice Agents, Autonomous Agents, and AI Control Tower.
Equally important, I’m not ignoring the fundamentals. Platform capabilities like RaptorDB, platform hygiene, and strong data foundation remain critical. In my experience, AI is only as good as the platform and data it runs on.
One recommendation I strongly suggest to everyone reading this prioritize a couple of key themes based on your role. The Knowledge portal allows you to filter sessions, so use that wisely. For example, if you are an architect, filter and focus on architecture, platform, and governance tracks. A focused agenda will always deliver more value than a crowded one.
Also, make sure to include at least one hands-on session , whether it’s the CreatorCon Hackathon or a lab or workshop. That’s where real confidence gets built. What you practice stays with you far more than what you just listen to.
I’m also excited to share that I’ll be speaking this year! As a speaker, this adds another level of excitement and responsibility for me. Looking forward to meeting many of you there, do drop by if you get a chance.
Beyond sessions, Knowledge is all about the experience and the Community. Spend time at the Expo Hall, explore new innovations, reconnect with your network, and if you are attending for the first time, this is the best place to meet like-minded professionals. Do not miss CreatorCon it’s one of the most energetic and inspiring parts of the entire event.
And don’t forget to enjoy the moment. Take more photos, collect goodies, capture memories, and be part of the energy. These are the moments that stay with you long after the event.
Before you go, here are a few must-have essentials that make a big difference:
- Carry a mobile charger or power bank - your phone will be heavily used
- Wear comfortable sports shoes - expect a lot of walking
- Bring a good bag - you will collect more goodies than you expect
- Ensure you have enough phone storage - you will take a lot of photos and videos
- Keep your digital QR code ready - for quick check-ins and networking
Outside the conference, take some time to explore Las Vegas. Walk the Strip, try good food, and enjoy the experience. At the same time, plan smart & prefer cards over cash and stay in groups during late hours.
In summary, go with a plan, but keep it realistic. Focus on what truly matters for your role, learn deeply, connect widely, and enjoy every bit of the experience.
Knowledge is not just an event, it’s where learning, networking, and inspiration come together. Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
