This second in a series of blogs on Boomi World breakout tracks shares a preview of some of the integration-focused breakout sessions planned for Boomi World 2026, May 11-14 in Chicago, Illinois. You can read descriptions of all our conference tracks here.
The foundation for success with AI is not large language models (LLMs) or agents. It’s how well your applications are connected to support automated workflows that provide agentic systems with what they need to do their work.
That’s why integration and automation are more important than ever.
Those core capabilities represent the value that Boomi has always brought to customers, even as our innovation has expanded to API, data, and agent management. We pioneered the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for iPaaS (integration platform as a service) category and were recently named a Leader for the 12th consecutive time, with the highest Ability to Execute positioning.1
Boomi World 2026 is an opportunity to learn more about how we continue to push the envelope of modern iPaaS.
Our Integration and Automation breakout session track will show attendees why they are the bedrock of agentic transformation. A broad range of sessions from Boomi experts, customers, partners, and industry analysts will explain how the platform is the engine for creating compliant, reliable connectivity to make businesses AI-ready.
Here’s a brief look at some of the value-focused sessions we’re offering.
Real-World Integration Scenarios and How to Solve Them
- What You Will Learn: Accelerate your mastery of Boomi in this hands-on workshop. Skip the trial-and-error phase by diving straight into practical scenarios designed to mirror the challenges of your first year. Bring your own laptop and be prepared to log in to your Boomi platform account, or just follow along.
- Key Takeaway: Discover essential shortcuts, identify common patterns, and master the tools needed to elevate your development skills. Transform your integration journey and drive immediate results.
Visibility Through the Invisible Layer: Modernizing Integration
- What You Will Learn: Boomi partner TCS worked with a France-based rolling stock manufacturer to modernize its enterprise integration. The partner used the Boomi platform to connect siloed business units, making the invisible integration layer – critical yet normally unseen by business users – transparent and actionable.
- Key Takeaway: Scalable, real-time, end-to-end observability of business workflows supports proactive issue resolution and data-driven decisions.
AI-Driven Integration at Scale: Reusable Pipelines, Real Results
- What You Will Learn: Manual image review and data validation across disconnected platforms will create bottlenecks that slow operations by requiring significant human effort. Boomi customer WWT circumvented that by building an AI- and configuration-driven integration layer on Boomi that transforms reusable pipelines into intelligent building blocks. WWT designed event-driven AI data pipelines that improve speed, quality, and reusability without adding operational burden.
- Key Takeaway: WWT has reduced human validation by over 90%, proving how Boomi-powered AI integrations improved speed while maintaining accuracy.
How Catalyst Brands Uses Boomi to Turn Holiday Spikes Into Growth
- What You Will Learn: Catalyst Brands – parent company of JCPenney, Aeropostale, Eddie Bauer, and more – relies on Boomi to keep peak-season retail moving with elastic, brand-specific runtimes that process more than four billion annual transactions across multiple channels, distribution centers, partners, and financial systems. You’ll hear details from Boomi partner United Techno and Catalyst Brands on how Boomi keeps orders, inventory, fulfillment updates, and customer notifications flowing in near-real-time while controlling infrastructure costs.
- Key Takeaway: We’ll share how standardized patterns, capacity planning, and disciplined runbooks turned high-risk spikes into a repeatable growth engine that scales for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and other peak events without overprovisioning.
Automating eCommerce Operations at Bobbie Baby With Boomi
- What You Will Learn: Baby formula provider Bobbie Baby transformed its ecommerce backbone by leveraging Boomi to automate and scale its complex Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay operations across Shopify, NetSuite, and third-party partners. Boomi partner Connor Group will share how Bobbie Baby automated 1,500-plus daily Shopify orders using parallel processing, real-time validation, and robust error handling to ensure accuracy and sub-hour processing.
- Key Takeaway: Attendees will learn how Boomi delivered the scalability, visibility, and resilience required to support Bobbie Baby’s rapid growth through the end-to-end automation of fulfillment, lot-numbered inventory, manufacturing alignment, and supply-chain updates.
Rebuild of a Complex Sales Process Powered by Boomi Integration
- What You Will Learn: We cover streamlining a complex sales infrastructure process from Salesforce to Oracle Fusion and downstream systems. You’ll learn how Boomi partner Slalom tied together Boomi and OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud) for a client by leveraging their respective strengths with integrations to take advantage of real-time events in a complex sales and order process flow.
- Key Takeaway: Discover how Boomi became the system for all event-based and real-time integrations, using Solace to decouple and communicate with a variety of systems, other integration platforms, and even users directly via email.
Keeping Boomi Integrations Low-Touch To Stay Project-Focused
- What You Will Learn: With hundreds of systems and a small central team, integration work can easily become overwhelming. The University of Massachusetts designs Boomi processes to accelerate delivery while keeping a small integration team focused on strategic work. We’ll walk through a configuration-driven framework that powers about 1,800 file transfers with minimal ongoing effort, as well as larger implementations with Slate, Canvas, SoftDocs, and Skillsoft.
- Key Takeaway: See practical patterns for low-ops design, error handling, monitoring, and clear ownership, so existing integrations largely run themselves while new business needs keep moving forward.
Proactive Integration Monitoring at Scale
- What You Will Learn: Proactive integration, runtime monitoring, and anomaly detection equips businesses to identify and address potential issues before they cause problems. We delve into modern monitoring techniques and provide a preview of exciting new Boomi product capabilities, including OpenTelemetry, which offer unprecedented visibility into your integration landscape.
- Key Takeaway: Learn from customer success stories about how they’ve transformed their integration management for enhanced performance and reliability by proactively managing runtimes at scale.
Product Roadmap Deep Dive – Integration and Automation
- What You Will Learn: An exclusive, in-depth review of the Boomi product roadmap from the Boomi product management team. Get first-hand knowledge of the vision, strategy, and upcoming roadmap items designed to empower you in solving complex business challenges.
- Key Takeaway: Understand the rationale behind our decisions, see how your feedback shapes our innovations, and deepen your understanding of our continuous evolution to align with users’ evolving needs.
