SEIZING THE AGENTIC SHIFT

REDEFINING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY  |  AMPLIFYING VALUE CREATION  |  EMBRACING DYNAMIC ADAPTABILITY

Never before has AI technology created so many challenges -but also so many opportunities- to shift from passive, question-answering chat tools to autonomous AI agents that reason, plan, and execute multi-step workflows across core business systems.

The Summit 2027  will explore what new agentic capabilities really mean for businesses, and how CIOs should  go on the offensive to conquer and seize the full potential of agentic AI, deploy AI agents as digital coworkers, hasten productivity, and create 360° value by rethinking every part of the business through the seamless integration of agents, data and cloud.

A strong line-up of speakers -inspiring CIOs, maverick thinkers and visionary industry experts- enriched by real-world cases and research-based guidance will bring the summit 2027 well above traditional thoughts and debates. The program will also highlight how key technology and solution providers may help IT organizations capture new agentic opportunities and embrace a world in fast motion in a variety of technological, operational and integration areas.
