What Breaks Deploying AI Agents: Conversations with Enterprise AI Leaders & Startups

​What breaks when you deploy agents into the enterprise

​Every enterprise is piloting AI agents. Far fewer have them running reliably in production. The gap is where things break: agents pulling stale data, agents multiplying faster than anyone can govern them, security reviews that stall rollouts, and costs that don’t match the business case.

​Join us for an evening with AI leaders from banking, retail, and enterprise software who are deploying agents at scale. They’ll talk candidly about what actually broke, what they fixed, and what they still can’t buy. Then meet the startups building the solutions.

​The evening

• ​5:00 PM: Doors open and Startup Showcase. Meet early-stage companies tackling agent security, evaluation, monitoring, and infrastructure.

• ​5:30 PM: AI Leader Panel. Moderated by Megan Dahlgren.

• ​6:30 PM: Drinks and networking.

​Who should attend
Enterprise technology and AI leaders, founders building for the enterprise, and investors backing the agentic infrastructure stack.
