5:30-8:30 PM IST

The shift to Agentic AI is redefining how businesses compete, serve customers, and create value. But is your data strategy keeping up with your AI strategy? To answer that, we must ask: Is your data estate structured to fuel your agents with the right information? How much of your data remains dark and inaccessible to your systems? And is your culture ready to support humans and agents working together?


Join fellow data leaders at this peer-led forum to explore the key data building blocks required to power the Agentic Enterprise. We will deep dive into establishing a unified semantic layer across fragmented sources, accessing and querying data seamlessly wherever it lives, and implementing real-time governance that allows you to scale your agents with absolute certainty.


You'll hear from Google experts and get practical lessons from customers who are moving beyond pilots to deliver data-driven business outcomes at scale. This is your board-ready blueprint to rearchitect your data foundation and unlock the measurable ROI of your enterprise AI strategy.

Customer Panel: Addressing the Culture and Governance Framework for Agentic Data

Most AI projects fail due to the operating model, not the technology. Be boardroom-ready and join our panelists as they discuss the ultimate trifecta:

  • Culture: Moving teams "above the loop" to transform your analysts into strategic agent orchestrators
  • Governance: Establishing active, real-time oversight rather than reacting to mistakes
  • Costs: Creating sustainable financial frameworks to scale operations
