Welcome Keynote

Powering the Rise of the Agentic Enterprise
Monday, September 14 at 5 pm

AI is reshaping every organization, but it’s also creating unprecedented complexity and risk. Massive volumes of disconnected data, fragmented teams, overwhelming alert volumes, and threats moving at machine speed make it harder for organizations to stay digitally resilient, innovate fast, and build trust in AI.

Join Jeetu Patel, Head of Product at Cisco, and Kamal Hathi, GM at Splunk, alongside a special guest, to see how organizations transform security, observability, and operations with AI-powered workflows grounded in trust and proven at scale. Discover how Splunk and Cisco bring unified visibility, trusted AI, and intelligent automation to help organizations reduce complexity, accelerate response, and build resilience across increasingly autonomous environments.
