2026 Trends in Data and AI



In 2026, the gap between AI leaders and laggards will be defined by one thing: the ability to move from experimentation to autonomous execution. The pressure for ROI is immense, and the path to success runs through a new breed of intelligent, agentic systems that can drive revenue and transform operations.

 

Join guest speaker Mike Gualtieri, VP Principal analyst at Forrester Research, and a panel of industry leaders as they unveil the 2026 trends shaping the autonomous enterprise. Discover why a trusted data foundation is the non-negotiable prerequisite for success and how a Private AI strategy is essential for security, sovereignty, and competitive advantage.

 

Topics will include:

  • The Rise of the Autonomous Enterprise: Moving beyond predictive models to agentic AI that drives revenue and creates new business opportunities
  • Data and AI Sovereignty as a Strategy: Why controlling your data and AI destiny with a Private AI approach is critical for compliance and innovation
  • AI Anywhere: Architecting a flexible, open data platform that brings AI to your data, no matter where it resides
  • The ROI Imperative: Shifting the focus of AI projects from cost savings to measurable top-line growth and real-time decisioning
