**📅 Thursday, May 29, 2025**  
**🕛 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 6 pm CET**  
**📍 Tech Talk - Virtual**  
**🎙 Featured Speaker: @Erik_Bylund, Sr. Solutions Architect, Apollo**

As organizations evolve from monoliths to microservices—and now toward `AI-powered systems`—efficient data access has become a critical bottleneck. Modern applications rely on data scattered across dozens or even hundreds of services, and orchestrating that data access has become the dreaded _hot potato_ that no one wants to hold.

In this webinar, we’ll examine the **evolution of `application architecture`** and unpack the root **causes of `API orchestration` challenges**. You’ll learn how a declarative API layer, powered by `GraphQL`, can simplify access to distributed data, improve governance, and serve as a foundation for both modern and AI-enabled applications.

Join us in this webinar and **drive your engineering efficiency by reducing the API orchestration burden**.
