All times listed on the agenda are Central Daylight Time.
Tuesday, October 8
Setting the stage for the program, we unpack the theme of AI, Data and Tech Leadership: Finding Business Value from Emerging Tech Innovations.
Change comes slowly and then all at once. To succeed in today’s complex world, companies must be able to rapidly connect, predict, and adapt in real time to meet customers’ needs. In this presentation, Anat will explore how emerging technologies will change the way customers and businesses interact. She will share how the transformative power of AI, robotics, information, and communication technologies will impact how we relate to one another. Organizations will have to walk a fine line between giving their customers what they want and appearing sinister. Anat dives deep and shows you how to navigate this vicious cycle and earn the trust of customers in order to deliver the experiences that will ultimately elevate business value.
Build professional connections during this lightly structured networking time.
In this informative fireside chat, Dan Roberts and leading CIOs will cover not just what you need to do to gain first move advantage for your organization, but how to play to win. Covering key topics like, how to foster a data-centric culture; how to sell your vision up and down the organization; how to win over and engage middle management; and how to focus on delivering a customer-centric model and remain agile.
AI will delineate a new class of business “winners and losers” as intelligent systems differentiate customer and employee experiences. The ability to deliver instant answers and assistance to customers is mandatory. This informative discussion will give you the details on how to produce tangible results and empower both customers and employees. We’ll discuss how AI tools and smart agents can optimize human interactions for professionals across sales, marketing, and customer service. Panelists will address the challenges to be aware of in the strategic deployment of these technologies and steps to take to ensure they deliver expected value.
In today’s AI-driven world, organizations must quickly build and scale applications to meet growing demand. Modern app development has become more complex as users expect real-time, seamless experiences from the edge to the cloud. One solution: a platform that keeps data resources in sync, whether you’re creating, storing, retrieving, or securing data for AI-driven or traditional business systems.

As organizations move beyond just experimenting with AI and toward scaling it, many of them, especially large ones, will be stymied not by the technology itself but by their own people and processes. In this panel discussion, we’ll explore these dimensions of AI transformation—so frequently overlooked—and how, when executed well, they propel the company toward an “AI-first” operating model and thereby drive not only scale but the outcomes that seize headlines.
The power of AI to convert data’s potential to realize business goals and make critical decisions across an enterprise is immense. With the proliferation of data and its many sources, it’s essential that organizations have confidence in their data. Learn how AI agents or co-pilots can act as intelligent assistants for ensuring trustworthy results for various job functions.

With so many organizations are under pressure to build the next best thing (read: AI) a core challenge remains: Are you doing cloud in the most efficient way possible? Are too many resources unencrypted? Do you have too many permissions? Indeed, how well you automate determines how well you’re managing your infrastructure for success. This session looks at gaps – and cloud management solutions.
This fascinating presentation will review key predictions from IDC’s AI and automation team published in their most recent IDC FutureScape report. Each prediction is assessed based on its impact (a mix of cost and complexity to address) and time frame to the expected adoption level.
