Agentic AI as the Ultimate Value Creation Engine

Most PE-backed businesses have agentic AI as a pillar of their value creation, and despite being critical for long-term success, balancing the need to invest in agentic alongside the immediate need for operational efficiency means that many aren't accelerating their agentic solutions quick enough. The challenge is that these delays can exponentially impact exit values.

PE backed companies need to grow faster, operate leaner, and deliver measurable value within tight investment horizons. Digital transformation isn’t just a strategic initiative - it’s a mandate for survival. Yet, realizing AI's potential requires overcoming critical challenges: fragmented cloud strategies, lack of in-house AI expertise, complex regulatory environments, and difficulty scaling digital transformation efforts at pace.

So, the question emerges, how can you accelerate your agentic AI solutions within your organisations, to maximise value creation?

Join the C-Suite leaders for an exclusive roundtable to explore exactly that. Learn how to navigate cloud modernization complexities, adopt intelligent automation frameworks, and scale AI adoption across your portfolio with confidence, all while reducing transformation timelines by up to 75%.

Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, "Wow!" Incredibly well moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this!

Tory Knapp

Director of Strategic Accounts, IL Enterprise

Recently updated my "event vendors I will NEVER work with again" list, DM me if you're interested in the names and stories. On the other hand, I want to recommend Nelson Soares and C-Vision International who are true partners to our success, and I really enjoy working with. Happy to also share the great list of vendors we liked, as there are many of them, and we've recently had the pleasure of joining wonderful events, which we immediately renewed.

Lior Yaari

CEO and Co-founder

The day was awesome and the evening exceeded my wildest expectations. I've never been to a dinner like that where a table with 12 CIOs/CISOs was focused exclusively on Netskope. Just fantastic.
Thank you for including me!
I look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to meet

Martin tePoele

Regional Sales Manager

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
