Main Stage Keynote: Beyond the Horizon: Architecting the Agentic AI Enterprise

Fall 2025

As we stand at the dawn of the Agentic AI era, the future of enterprise IT is being rewritten in real-time. From the reimagining of network operations and infrastructure to the automation of security and the reinvention of the software ecosystem, Agentic AI will transform every layer of digital business.
In this keynote, we’ll explore the tectonic shifts driving this transformation — why AI isn’t just augmenting workflows but fundamentally redesigning them through intelligent, autonomous agents. We’ll set the stage for the insights, architectures, and blueprints you’ll discover over the next two days. You’ll hear how industry pioneers are bridging today’s operational realities with tomorrow’s Agentic AI futures, and how you can harness these frameworks to make AI-native infrastructure not just possible, but inevitable.
Together, let’s prepare to dive deep into the sessions, roundtables, and workshops that will equip you to lead in this new era of intelligent infrastructure, where the network, cloud, and AI converge to power the next generation of enterprise value.
