The Agent Surge · Wine Tasting Roundtable

An Agent Surge is coming, Are Your Platform and Budget Ready? Agents are showing up faster than most teams planned for. They write code, open merge requests and burn compute around the clock.

Executive Wine & Dine

Hosted in partnership with Atlassian, this exclusive gathering is an opportunity for candid conversation and an exchange of perspectives on the strategic questions defining the AI era.
The AI Enablement Breakfast

Giving Teams Safe Access to Build, Automate, and Operate Faster AI is quickly moving from experimentation to mandate. Boards and executive teams are asking how organizations can use AI to improve productivity, accelerate operations, and enable teams across engineering, security, IT, and even marketing to build useful internal agents and workflows. But the practical reality is harder: AI tools need access to internal systems, data, machines, and workflows to be useful. That creates new questions around security, privilege, governance, deployment models, and human oversight. This roundtable will bring together senior engineering, infrastructure, security, and IT leaders to discuss how organizations are balancing speed and control as AI adoption expands internally. How do companies enable teams to build and use AI tools safely without creating new paths around policy, unmanaged access to sensitive data, or opaque automation that is difficult to govern? The discussion will explore how leaders are thinking about internal AI adoption, agent access, human approvals, cloud versus local deployment, and the infrastructure foundations required to support AI-enabled teams securely.
