About Event
Smarter Agents Need More Memory. The Best Teams Will Use Less.
The Agentic Infrastructure Stack Summit is a closed-door, in-person day on Oct 28, Terra Gallery, San Francisco.
How it works: the numbers first (every session opens with new VB research), then the people who live them (a VB journalist presses the experts), then your turn.
Four topics, one room: Agentic workload orchestration (T-Mobile, WEKA, PayPal, Box) | Memory & context infrastructure (Adobe, Outshift by Cisco) | Inference economics (Artificial Analysis, Uber, Upwork + WEKA) | Emerging AI factory architectures (Microsoft, Intuit, Omni + Acxiom). Plus a hands-on AI runtime governance workshop with OneTrust.
Where the research starts the conversation
If you haven’t been to a VentureBeat event, set aside what you expect from a tech conference. Sessions open with new proprietary research from VentureBeat’s community of expert AI practitioners: the people deploying, scaling and running AI inside the enterprise. A VentureBeat journalist then presses leading practitioners on what the numbers really mean, where the findings match their experience and where they don’t.
Then the floor opens to you. The room is full of hands-on technical leaders, so the questions go deep: architecture, cost, tooling, what broke and how they fixed it. Come ready to share, push back and ask the hard technical questions.
You’ll leave knowing what’s trending across the industry and why, and what’s actually working in production, from the people making it work.
