Inside the event
The Next Enterprise AI Advantage: What It Takes to Put Agents to Work
What happens when AI moves from answering questions to executing business processes, and what will it take to trust it with that responsibility?
Join Nth AI for a private, invite-only evening during Microsoft Ignite at Cooley’s Embarcadero offices, on the 21st floor overlooking the San Francisco Bay.
We’re curating a group of enterprise AI executives, investors and founders to discuss the decisions shaping the next generation of enterprise AI: what to deploy, what to build, and where to invest.
The conversation will connect three perspectives rarely heard together: the enterprise leaders making buying decisions, the platforms enabling adoption, and the investors backing what comes next.
We’ll explore
- From pilots to production: Which workflows are ready for agents, and what earns them greater responsibility?
- The infrastructure behind the intelligence: How do enterprise data, business context and governance turn model capabilities into reliable execution?
- The business case: Where are agents delivering measurable returns, and what justifies scaling?
- Where value will accrue: As models become more capable and accessible, which businesses gain an advantage—and what makes it last?
Featured panelists
- Gus Shahin, EVP of Business Technology and Operations, NetApp
- Mandana Javaheri, GM of Business Strategy, AI and Data GTM, Microsoft
- Gaurav Bhogale, Partner, Mantis Venture Capital
- Praveen Mandal, Co-founder & CEO, JoulesAI
Moderated by Connie Yang, CEO & Co-Founder of Nth AI.
