AGENDA
AI Networking Summit Dallas – Spring 2026
May 12 : Pre-Conference Executive Roundtables and AI Training Workshops
Enterprise AI is moving from experimentation to production—and infrastructure teams now control whether their companies win or fall behind. We are living in a moment of exponential progress driven by AI, where capabilities accelerate rapidly and traditional planning cycles no longer apply. As agentic systems take on Tier 1 and Tier 2 operations, generative infrastructure designs itself, and governance frameworks mature, a new reality is emerging: AI is driving a workload repatriation wave—as data gravity, IP protection, control, and security concerns force new architectural and operating models.

As enterprise leaders move beyond AI experimentation, the real challenge is turning intelligence into execution at scale. John Feldmeier, CIO & VP Site Engineering at eBay, offers a candid, practitioner-led view of how eBay progressed from early AI exploration to deploying AI-assisted processes that deliver measurable business outcomes.

The rise of AI agents changes everything—from how networks are built to how access and security are enforced. In this keynote, Tom Gillis, Cisco GM for Infrastructure and Security, shares a forward-looking view of the AI-native data center, where networks are designed for machine-to-machine intelligence, autonomous decision-making, and continuous adaptation.

As AI models continue to scale, both training and inference are growing rapidly in operational importance. Training pushes the limits of compute density and interconnect scale, while inference now dominates production workloads. Together, these forces are reshaping AI system architectures.

In this keynote, Michael Milligan, CISO of FedEx Freight, spin-off from FedEx Corporation, shares how FedEx Freight is rapidly scaling AI consumption while implementing the necessary governance, risk, and security guardrails in place from day one and moving forward. Joining Michael will be Corey Allert, Managing Director of Security Engineering and together they will outline how FedEx Freight aligns AI security, data, and infrastructure architectures to accelerate time-to-value without introducing unacceptable risk. The session offers a practical blueprint for enterprises looking to move fast with AI—confidently, responsibly, and at scale.

The 2026 conversation is often framed as “tokens forever” versus “build private AI.” This Keynote challenges that default framing. For many enterprises, the highest-performing and most cost-effective path is staying on the latest hyperscaler frontier reasoning models (OpenAI / Anthropic / Google) while making your company data radically usable as context (retrieval, permissions, provenance, evals, and workflow orchestration).

This session brings together Tom Gillis (Cisco), Kevin Deierling (NVIDIA), and Mike Taylor (WWT) to present a collaborative approach to building hybrid AI infrastructure that balances public AI services with private model deployment. As AI technology, economics, and governance rapidly evolve in unpredictable ways, the panel will discuss the need for an Enterprise AI Fabric that delivers long-term flexibility and choice.

Agentic Networking is the next evolution of cloud and network operations, where intelligent, autonomous agents – powered by LLMs, real-time telemetry, and policy-driven intent – continuously observe, decide, and act across complex, multi-cloud environments. Instead of manually tuning networks or relying solely on static automation, agentic systems interpret high-level business intents (minimize latency for this workload, shift traffic for cost efficiency, isolate anomalies before impact), translate them into actionable network changes, and coordinate with other agents to optimize end-to-end performance.

This session examines quantum-safe networking as an emerging approach to strengthening security for high-bandwidth connections across large-scale enterprise data center environments. We will define key concepts in quantum-safe networking – including the role of quantum phenomena such as entanglement in supporting secure, tamper-evident communications over fiber infrastructure and hybrid solutions.
