1. ROUNDTABLE: Bridging the Context Gap to Scale AI: Should Context Be Inferred or Inherited
Led by Dinker Charak, Head of Solution Engineering, The Modern Data Company
As enterprises move toward agentic AI, a critical question emerges: Should AI infer business context, or inherit it from trusted enterprise data? We'll discuss the tradeoffs, explore the role of data quality, governance, and trust, and discuss what it takes to move agentic AI from experimentation to reliable execution at scale.
2. ROUNDTABLE: AI Agent Excellence - How to Maximize The Impact and Adoption of Agentic AI in a Compliant Way
Led by Andreas Zehent, Autonomous Enterprise Expert, SAP Business Transformation Management
Would you like to discover how to maximize the impact and adoption of AI agents while keeping costs and risks under control and meeting compliance requirements? Are you looking for ways to identify the right AI opportunities, prioritize investments, and ensure your agents deliver on their promises?
Join fellow industry experts for an interactive roundtable on what it takes to achieve AI Agent Excellence. We will introduce a practical framework and real-world case study to discuss how to identify high-value opportunities, accelerate the development of agents tailored to specific business needs, and equip them with the context and guardrails to operate effectively and compliantly.
Together, we will exchange experiences and perspectives on governing AI agents, measuring their impact, and continuously improving their performance and value. Join the discussion to share your experiences, learn from other experts, and explore how to turn AI investments into lasting value.

BUSINESS MEETINGS | INNOVATION WORKSHOP: Build It in the Room: Cyber Risk Frameworks for Agentic AI
Cindy Tu -
VP, Head of Tech & Cyber Governance,
LPL Financial
- Stress-test your current framework against real agentic threat scenarios — working in small groups, you'll map your existing cyber and AI controls against live failure modes to expose the gaps your governance structure hasn't accounted for yet.
- Co-build an accountability structure in the room — through guided exercises, you'll define decision rights, escalation triggers, and human oversight checkpoints for agentic systems, walking away with a draft structure you can bring back to your organization Monday morning.
- Pressure-test your oversight model with peers who've faced the same regulators — in facilitated discussion, you'll work through the three-layer oversight model (pre-deployment, runtime, post-action) and refine it against your own firm's risk appetite and regulatory reality.
