Opening Remarks

Kick off the summit with opening remarks from Robert Jaggers, CEO of the Institute for AI Transformation, as he introduces the themes and priorities for the day ahead. This brief session will lead into our opening panel, setting the focus for impactful discussions to follow.

Innovate or Become Obsolete:
Breaking the Chains of Legacy IT

In today’s enterprise landscape, legacy IT is both a foundation and a bottleneck. The race to adopt AI, machine learning, and cloud-native systems forces leaders to balance modernization with stability. Move too slowly, and organizations risk irrelevance; move too fast, and technical debt, spiraling costs, and governance gaps can derail progress.

This panel will explore how executives are navigating this high-stakes balancing act — breaking free from outdated systems while ensuring resilience, compliance, and agility. From practical approaches to reducing technical debt, to embedding AI into legacy environments, to preparing infrastructure for the next wave of generative and agentic AI, we’ll uncover how leading enterprises are turning IT constraints into opportunities for reinvention.

Navigating the Human Element of AI Transformation

In today’s AI-driven landscape, the real challenge is not algorithms or infrastructure—it’s people. Organizations across healthcare, retail, and consumer markets are realizing that trust, skills, and culture determine whether AI initiatives succeed or stall. Move too quickly, and you risk eroding consumer confidence and employee morale. Move too slowly, and competitors seize the advantage. Striking the right balance requires executives to rethink how they empower teams, safeguard values, and redesign customer and patient experiences in an AI-first world.

This panel will explore how leaders are navigating this high-stakes balancing act—embedding AI responsibly while maintaining transparency, dignity, and trust. From reskilling workforces and redefining human–AI collaboration to applying governance frameworks and building customer confidence, we’ll uncover how organizations are transforming the human element into a competitive advantage.

Opening Networking Break

When Machines Attack:
Securing the Future of AI-Powered Systems

As AI reshapes cybersecurity, it is now both the shield and the sword. Automated attack pipelines can launch millions of exploits in seconds, while inference-driven defenses race to keep up. Enterprises face urgent questions: how to protect identity as the “digital twin” of employees and systems, how to govern sovereignty in a global cloud, and what to do when machines can outpace our most trusted controls.

This panel will examine the frontline of AI-powered security — from defending against emerging machine-led threats to rethinking governance, identity, and resilience. With CISOs and cybersecurity leaders from diverse industries, we’ll explore how enterprises are preparing for an era where machines not only protect but also attack at unprecedented scale.

Afternoon Networking Break

Bridging the Gap:
AI & Data Centers of Excellence

AI and data Centers of Excellence (CoEs) are becoming the strategic backbone for scaling enterprise transformation. No longer just innovation labs, today’s CoEs are tasked with setting standards, enforcing governance, and ensuring measurable ROI from AI and data initiatives. But too often, they operate in silos—leading to stalled pilots, poor adoption, and missed opportunities.

This panel will bring together executives from multiple sectors to discuss how CoEs can successfully bridge the gap between experimentation and enterprise impact. We’ll explore how leaders are embedding CoEs into business strategy, creating frameworks for scaling, and proving value through trusted data and measurable outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into how CoEs are evolving into engines of enterprise-wide adoption, delivering both innovation and accountability.

Data Alchemy: Transforming
Enterprise Data into AI Gold

Data is the new strategic currency of successful enterprises. As data access becomes increasingly constrained by privacy and regulatory limitations, synthetic data, sophisticated fine-tuning, and efficient inference become essential differentiators. Join this panel of thought leaders as they reveal strategic approaches to leveraging these powerful tools, empowering your enterprise to innovate rapidly and effectively in a data-constrained environment. Turn today’s data challenges into tomorrow’s competitive edge.
