What to look forward to
AI leaders from Akamai, NVIDIA, IDC, and Reactor will explore distributed inference, secure agentic workloads, and real-time multimodal AI through expert talks, live architecture demos, and hands-on infrastructure testing. CTOs, founders, and engineering leaders will also hear futurist Salim Ismail’s perspective on how AI will reshape organizations.
Inside the event
Experience the future of AI — here’s what’s waiting for you Join us for one of the most exciting San Francisco tech events this November, connecting AI leaders and innovators. This event is for CTOs, startup founders, VPs of engineering, and chief architects running real-time AI inside larger organizations — the people deciding where AI actually runs. Learn where inference runs best and how to scale agentic workloads. Learn how to secure AI agents, not just traditional bots. See AI in action with a live multimodal application teardown from NVIDIA and Akamai engineers. Hear from Akamai leaders, customers, industry visionaries, and Salim Ismail on what’s next in AI and how agentic AI will reshape organizations. Understand the value of speed — what milliseconds mean for conversion and cost. Build and stress-test real AI code on real infrastructure. Step onto the field to pitch and bat alongside a Giants legend.
