Why This Summit Matters

There are very few rooms where you can feel the shift happening in real time.

At Gartner D&A Summit, you see:

• How data strategies are evolving beyond dashboards

• Where AI is finally moving beyond pilots into production

• What enterprises must get right to be ready for 2026

• How governance, architecture, and AI agents are coming together

• What analysts are seeing across industries

This is where signals turn into strategy.

What We’re Covering

Our team will be:

• Meeting partners and data leaders

• Interviewing enterprise executives shaping AI adoption

• Speaking with Gartner analysts

• Capturing honest conversations about what is working and what is not

No hype.
No surface-level commentary.
Just real insights from people building and scaling.

We are also excited to reconnect with long-time collaborators and friends across the ecosystem.

Next week is going to be big.

Most people are mixing these up. Agent. AI Agent. Agentic AI. They are not the same thing.

An Agent follows rules.

If this happens, do that.

No thinking. No learning. Just execution.

An AI Agent can think within limits. It understands context. It can use tools.
But it still needs guidance.

Agentic AI is different.
It has goals.
It plans.
It acts.
It learns from feedback and improves over time.

This shift matters.

Because most teams are still building rule-based automation
While the world is moving toward systems that can run, adapt, and improve on their own.

If you are designing products, workflows, or data platforms in 2026
You need to be clear about which one you are actually building.

Not everything needs Agentic AI.
But pretending they are all the same is a mistake.
