What to look forward to
Senior technology leaders from Marex, the UK Ministry of Defence, Howden, Sky, Microsoft, WPP, WTW and BP will explore how AI-driven observability can reduce signal noise and costs while balancing automation with human oversight. Hosted by Grafana Labs, creators of Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir and Grafana Cloud, the discussion will focus on reliability and traceability across increasingly complex systems.
Inside the event
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in modern applications and infrastructure, observability is becoming more important—and more challenging. Teams need clear visibility into increasingly complex systems while managing growing volumes of data, rising costs, and new sources of operational risk. AI is also changing how teams approach observability itself. Intelligent tools can help detect issues, identify root causes, and automate parts of incident response, but organisations need to find the right balance between automation and human oversight. At the same time, teams need to understand what is happening across their systems, where issues originate, and how AI workloads are affecting performance and cost. How can teams improve visibility and reduce signal noise as systems become more complex? Where can AI and automation improve incident detection and resolution, and where is human oversight still needed? How should observability evolve as AI becomes more deeply embedded in applications and infrastructure? Join leaders interested in mastering AI-driven observability by taming signal noise, controlling costs at scale, and balancing intelligent automation with human oversight to maintain reliability and traceability across increasingly autonomous distributed systems. Job titles may include CTOs, VPs, Heads, Directors of Engineering, Observability Leaders, Developer Leaders and other senior decision-makers.
