2025 marks a turning point: enterprises are moving beyond AI copilots into the era of autonomous agents—systems that plan, act, and adapt with minimal human input. The promise is massive, but so are the questions. Which use cases are ready now? How should leaders balance innovation with governance, security, and trust? And how will this reshape teams and enterprise structures?

This exclusive executive dinner and winetasting—hosted in partnership with Andela—will bring together engineering, product, and data leaders from financial services, high tech, and software enterprises. Together, we’ll cut through the hype and share strategies to prepare your enterprise for the next wave of AI.
