Data Leader's Guide to Agentic AI

Govern, Modernize, and Innovate

Date: November 26, 2026

Agentic AI is transforming how data organizations operate, shifting from passive automation to active, decision-capable systems. As these agents begin to navigate data environments, orchestrate workflows, and accelerate innovation, businesses are reassessing their architectural, governance, and collaboration models.

This webinar will equip attendees with a clear understanding of what it takes to safely and effectively adopt agentic AI at scale, while capturing meaningful business value.

What we want to adress:

Governance for Autonomy: Approaches for ensuring trust, compliance, and control as agents take on higher levels of operational and analytical decision-making.
Modern Architecture Requirements: The technical capabilities and platform characteristics customers will expect – modular, extensible, and AI-ready architectures that can support active agents.
Innovation Playbooks: Practical strategies and real-world examples of where agentic AI can drive high-impact outcomes across analytics, operations, and customer engagement.

For software vendors and potential sponsors, this session offers a front-row view into the priorities and expectations shaping the next wave of enterprise AI investment—highlighting where solutions can stand out in an agent-driven future.
