Location

Microsoft Belgium
Brussels National Airport - Passport Building

Pejman, Datadog's Field CTO and Microsoft will share insights on governing, costing, and trusting AI in production on Azure

Most organizations can now build an AI application, but far fewer can track costs per team, output quality, or future behavior. Join Datadog and Microsoft at Microsoft Belux for an afternoon on the governance side of AI adoption: the evolution of observability and OpenTelemetry, European leadership approaches to AI economics, and gaining visibility into agent behavior, token spend, and data quality across Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI Service.

Built for senior technology leaders. Places are limited to keep the discussion valuable. Reserve your spot today!

Registration & Welcome

14:30 — 14:40

Why Datadog and Microsoft, Together

14:30 — 14:40

Why Datadog and Microsoft, Together

As distributed, cloud-native systems made traditional monitoring insufficient, vendors began building observability in from the start rather than bolting it on. OpenTelemetry, which Datadog actively contributes to, became the de facto standard, and the discipline is now moving towards unified, AI-assisted observability
14:40 — 15:10

The State of Observability: Signals, Standards, and What Comes Next

14:40 — 15:10

The State of Observability: Signals, Standards, and What Comes Next

The session covers leaders’ four most common concerns, in order: the complexity of distributed, non-deterministic flows; hallucination and output quality; token economics and per-team cost control; and governance and usage models. It closes with about 10 minutes on AI security, including prompt injection and sensitive data leakage, the area where most leaders have the least background. The format is a presentation with moderated peer discussion, with Microsoft covering Azure AI governance
15:10 — 15:55

What Senior Technology Leaders Are Actually Worried About

15:10 — 15:55

What Senior Technology Leaders Are Actually Worried About

Discussions will focus on the primary concerns voiced by technology leaders, including the complexity of distributed and non-deterministic flows, hallucination and output quality, token economics and per-team cost control, as well as governance and usage models
16:10 — 16:45

Solving It on Azure with Datadog: Product, Proof, and Procurement

16:10 — 16:45

Solving It on Azure with Datadog: Product, Proof, and Procurement

This segment uses narrated walkthroughs rather than a hands-on demo, showing how to trace prompts, responses and intermediate steps across agentic workflows and LLM chains on Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI Service, alongside GPU utilization and cost, and upstream data quality in Azure Data Factory pipelines. Customer proof points include Cleo Health cutting root cause analysis time by 90%, Coop Norge consolidating three observability tools into one and saving 4,000 hours a year, SAS optimizing CPU usage 4x across 100+ microservices, and Posten Bring reaching 99.92% availability across 250+ systems. It closes with a note on procurement through Azure Marketplace
16:45 — 17:00
