Looker AI Masterclass 2026

Your AI is only as good as the layer is stands on
Join us in person for an AI Masterclass for hand-on experience in building a fast, accurate, and governed foundational data layer.
Note: Please bring your laptop and a charging cable.

Everyone is racing to layer AI over their enterprise data. Answers arrive in seconds, but accuracy remains a gamble. In most organizations, the same core metric lives in three places: a data warehouse, a rogue spreadsheet, and a BI dashboard. They rarely match.
The truth is simple: your AI is only as smart as the data layer underneath it.
When every metric is defined once, complete its narrative access controls, an AI Chat response matches your dashboard perfectly. You gain speed without sacrificing security. Better yet, AI can help you build that foundational layer in hours instead of weeks.
What happens in the room: One Retailer's data, Four Flows

• The spreadsheet: Finance turns up with targets in a Google Sheet and has a self-service Explore on it within minutes.
• The dashboards: Those targets merged with the governed sales numbers on one dashboard: actual against target, by centre, live. Nothing copied, nothing exported.
• The question. The CFO asks the dashboard, in Gemini, which centre is behind and why. An alert watches it from then on. The controller pulls the same numbers into Sheets.
• The app. An AI coding agent builds an app on the same data for one job, and each centre manager sees only her own centre.

Hands-on Labs
You break into small teams to build a functional app on the shared dataset in under an hour. Choose your track:

• Performance Cockpit,
• Operations App (Returns/Late Orders)
• Customer 360 view

Three groups get a chance to showcase their work to the room.
What you take home

• An app you built. Not another dashboard: an app for a job, made in a small team on a governed model, in under an hour.
• What makes an AI answer trustworthy? Definitions, access rules and verified queries, all in the model. You will see each one do its job, and be able to tell whether your own model has them.
• A checklist for your own set-up. The one we use ourselves, and an offer to run it against your Looker.
