If you’ve been paying even the slightest attention to the AI gold rush, you know that every tech event now tries to slap “AI” onto its agenda. But here’s the truth: most of what you’ll hear is the same generic hype: more slideware than substance, more marketing than mastery.

That’s exactly why the AI Networking Summit, hosted by the ONUG Community this October in New York City, is different. Over two days, you’ll get an unfiltered look at how Agentic AI is transforming the very backbone of enterprise IT — networks, infrastructure, security, operations — and meet the trailblazers who are actually doing this work at scale.

From Buzzword to Blueprint

Let’s face it: building for AI-native infrastructure is nothing like sprinkling machine learning models on top of old systems. The sessions we’re bringing to New York zero in on the real architectural shifts that top practitioners are facing today. You’ll learn why AI’s spiky, synchronized traffic patterns, flows that monopolize links for days or weeks, can’t be handled by traditional oversubscribed or best-effort networks. You’ll hear directly from the leaders building next-gen backend fabrics, lossless topologies, and real-time orchestration engines that make Agentic AI possible.

Imagine sitting in on a candid discussion with IT executives who’ve discovered that up to 57% of AI training time can be lost just moving data from node to node, and how they’re redesigning their networks to reclaim that value. You won’t find that level of practical, behind-the-scenes insight anywhere else.

Where the Big Questions Get Answers

This fall, you’ll hear from the CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure, and Chief AI Officers of the world’s largest banks, pharma giants, global retailers, and cloud pioneers. These are the people rewriting the software ecosystem, defending security perimeters in an Agentic AI world, and tackling the rise of multi-agent systems that can work and misbehave autonomously.

Our opening keynote will help you see the big picture: how the Agentic AI era is not just tweaking workflows, but replacing brittle, static systems with dynamic, self-learning architectures that adapt in real time. You’ll come away understanding why enterprise IT leaders are talking about the end of traditional software, and what replaces it: modular, AI-driven agents that tailor business operations on the fly.

Blueprints, Recipes, and Real Playbooks

Unlike other conferences, the AI Networking Summit isn’t about vague inspiration. It’s about giving you actionable frameworks to take back to your team. You’ll get early looks at enterprise AI blueprints, clear, community-driven recipes for building AI-native infrastructure that balances performance with governance and trust.

You’ll sit shoulder to shoulder with your peers, the people putting billions in collective IT spend behind these new designs. Whether you join a roundtable on healthcare AI governance, a deep dive on Agentic AI Overlays, or a technical theater on Total Network Operations with AIOps, you’ll walk away with practical tools and real vendor-neutral guidance.

The Community You’ll Actually Want to Be Part Of

One thing we hear every year is that ONUG feels different. Our community isn’t just vendors pitching to customers; it’s a trusted circle of senior practitioners, CTOs, and infrastructure architects. The conversations you’ll have here happen under Chatham House Rule, meaning they’re open, honest, and deeply real.

And because the AI Networking Summit runs alongside the ONUG Collaborative’s working groups, you’re not just hearing theories; you’re invited to help shape industry standards, procurement APIs, and new reference architectures that you can put to work immediately. This is where the next generation of enterprise AI infrastructure takes shape.

Join Us in New York City

This October, more than 2,000 senior business and technology leaders will gather to tackle the biggest challenges and opportunities in Agentic AI. You’ll get a front-row seat to the discussions shaping tomorrow’s networks, security, and operational blueprints. You’ll connect with peers facing the same hard questions you are and learn how they’re solving them with approaches you won’t hear anywhere else.

If you want to get beyond the buzzwords and actually build what’s next, the AI Networking Summit NYC is where you belong. Bring your questions, your expertise, and your curiosity, and leave with the ideas, frameworks, and connections that will power your AI-native future.
