The AgenticAI Race: Be Ready for What's Next After GenAI Pilots

This session is designed to explore how to make Agentic AI practical, scalable, and valuable for your business. Through a candid, peer-led discussion, we’ll unpack which AI use cases are truly worth deploying agents for, where real business outcomes are being achieved, and where the hype still outweighs the value. We'll also dive into what's holding GenAI and Agentic AI back from scaling whether it's data access, model trust, or operational ownership—and how leaders are addressing these barriers. Finally, hear how other CxOs are preparing their teams, systems, and governance models to scale AI responsibly and effectively. Walk away with peer-tested insights and a clearer path to operationalizing Agentic AI for measurable impact.
