Executive Summit

Technology leaders are driving a majority of organizational change, but even the strongest plans can fall prey to culture. Success depends on how rapidly both IT and the organization can embrace new directions, own the change and implement new ways of working. When leaders intentionally shape culture, they can turn it into a strategic asset that accelerates execution and strengthens performance across the enterprise.

Join this keynote to learn about:

• Strengthening culture to support strategic change
• Engaging peers and employees in new ways of working
• Balancing planning and execution with engagement and collaboration

As digital systems evolve to include both human and non-human actors, security must focus on establishing, delegating, and enforcing trust beyond traditional logins. Identity needs to shift from one-time authentication to continuous runtime trust, enabling a practical framework for modern trust architecture where actions, not logins, become the primary security event.

Join this session to learn more about:

• Establishing trust across diverse actors
• Evolving identity to runtime control
• Prioritizing actions over logins

As technology and risk rapidly evolve, CIOs and CISOs must choose: reinforce core IT and security fundamentals, or pursue advanced capabilities?

During this interactive debate-style breakout you will:

• Hear how peer leaders set organizational priorities
• Broaden your perspective on key IT and security topics
• Join in through audience participation

Agentic AI is transforming work and prompting leaders to rethink traditional suites and modernization strategies. This boardroom will examine how agentic AI is unbundling ERP responsibilities, reshaping process orchestration and enabling smarter service layers.

Join fellow CIOs to explore:

• The rise of service layers, workflow engineers and AI agents
• What’s replacing monolithic ERP models
• Key assumptions to challenge when evaluating vendor roadmaps

AI‑generated content, models, and autonomous agents are scaling faster than traditional workloads, driving the need for a trust infrastructure built for AI and authenticity. At the same time, shrinking certificate lifecycles and the looming impact of quantum computing are increasing operational strain and making quantum‑safe strategies imperative.

Join this session to discuss:

• Strategies for PKI modernization that govern machine and AI identities at scale
• Preparing for post-quantum cryptography
• Prioritizing investments based on risk, severity, and timeframe

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. No longer limited to generating insights, modern AI systems are beginning to act — initiating workflows, interacting with applications, and making decisions at machine speed. As agentic AI systems become operational participants inside enterprise environments, this session explores how enterprises can safely scale AI by establishing governance across identity, authority, behavior, and data, while enabling innovation without introducing unmanaged risk.

Attendees will learn:

• How to control the authority, behavior, and data access of autonomous systems operating across complex digital ecosystems
• The emerging governance model, enacted through a real-time control plane, to address authority drift, misconfigured permissions, and unintended AI behavior
• A practical framework and architecture for governing

As AI agents startacting across business environments, data becomes the true control surface.These agents require broad access to data, identities, and business processes,creating new risk patterns as sensitive data and outbound actions converge atmachine speed. This is a control shift. CISOs must modernize their dataapproach to adopt agentic AI confidently while maintaining oversight.

Join thissession to explore how to:

• Detect emerging risk behaviors in autonomous AI
• Builda data-centric and intent-aware security model
• Establish the CISO as theorchestrator of scalable AI and business growth enabler

Managing and securing access to company resources is become a critical challenge for CIOs and CISOs in the wave of AI deployments. Distinguishing between human and AI activity, ensuring proper governance, and adapting access controls to evolving technology frameworks are essential for every IT and security leader.

Join this boardroom to discuss

• Assessing current access management practices and user permissions
• Identifying and addressing challenges in distinguishing human vs. AI activity
• Implementing rapid governance and security measures for quick wins in AI-driven environments

With AI dominating conversations, many organizations risk overlooking the critical role of back office and legacy systems in enabling true AI innovation. Without modernizing operational infrastructure, pursuing AI dreams may lead to a readiness gap that hinders progress and value delivery. This session offers a hopeful outlook on bridging legacy realities with future-ready infrastructure, empowering leaders to unlock AI’s full potential.

Join this session to explore:

• Assessing your infrastructure’s AI readiness
• Strategies for modernizing legacy systems
• Building a foundation for sustainable AI innovation
