AI isn’t coming—it’s here. And in ITSM (IT service management), the difference between adopting it now or later could define who thrives and who gets left behind.

Join industry thought leader Stephen Mann and HCLSoftware’s Varun Nagpal for a power-packed 30-minute session as they explore how agentic AI is transforming ITSM, from predictive operations to autonomous actions. With Jiten Rajani as moderator, this session will go beyond the hype to deliver practical insights and real-world applications.

Expect an engaging conversation around:
 A fresh perspective on why AI adoption in ITSM has moved from optional to essential
 An exploration of emerging AI technologies and how they go beyond chatbots
 Practical considerations for scaling AI responsibly, with governance and trust built in
 Strategic takeaways to help you deliver better user experiences and business outcomes

Whether you’re a CIO rethinking your roadmap or an IT leader seeking operational gains, this session will give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.

Unveiling Agentic AI in ITSM for Future-ready Enterprises

Cyber risk is now a business responsibility — not just an IT issue.

While credential theft is declining, exploited vulnerabilities have become the top way attackers break in, often leading to ransomware and extortion.
The challenge? These weaknesses are fixable — but rarely fixed fast enough.

Join Matthew Rosenquist, CISO, Cybersecurity Strategist & Advisor, and Robert Leong, Senior Director at HCL BigFix, for a 30-minute Cybersecurity Leadership Roundtable on how leaders can:

Take ownership of cyber risk and drive accountability
Close the gap between detection and action
Help IT and Security teams work smarter, not harder
Reduce exposure before the next exploit hits

The Power to Fix Fast: Redefining Cyber Hygiene in a World of Continuous Threats

Is your organization still taking a reactive approach to consumer data protection, acting only after an incident or compliance gap occurs? In today’s hyper-connected world, where data flows endlessly across distributed systems and cloud environments, traditional defense mechanisms just can’t keep up. One misstep can mean lost trust, heavy fines, and lasting brand damage.
But what if you could spot risks before they turn into breaches?

Discover how embedding observability into your digital ecosystem empowers you to:
Monitor sensitive data in real time
Detect policy violations, misconfigurations, and anomalies instantly
Take proactive action before compliance or security issues escalate

This isn’t just a shift in tools—it’s a shift in mindset. Moving from reactive to predictive protection is now essential to keep pace with evolving regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and India’s DPDP Act.
Join industry experts from HCL iControl and Surety as they reveal how Business Observability, powered by AI, automation, and real-time insights, is redefining consumer data protection. 

Learn how leading enterprises are:
Reducing data risk exposure
Achieving continuous compliance
Strengthening consumer trust through transparency and accountability

Don’t wait for a breach to take action.
Be part of this expert session to see how observability can turn your data protection strategy into a competitive advantage.

Observability Ensuring Consumer Data Protection

The Agentic AI Inflection: From Automation to Autonomy

Between 2025-26, enterprise AI reaches an inflection point: systems don’t just answer - they act.

Perfect for CIOs, CTOs, Heads of IT Ops/SRE, Service Management, platform leaders and all AI enthusiasts who want results, not pilots that stall.

You’ll learn:
The 2025-26 shift: from process-based automation to goal-based agency
How closed-loop RCA and self-heal cut MTTR and automate repetitive incidents
A start-small pilot blueprint: architecture, governance, measurement - what to set up first

Join us to see how to start small, scale fast, and stay safe - while proving ROI your leadership will care about.

Is your compliance strategy still following traditional methods? For most enterprises, compliance remains a manual, after-the-fact exercise, leaving them exposed to hidden risks, audit failures, and significant operational drag. The cost of getting it wrong has never been higher.
