The Human Advantage: Trusted Orchestration for AI Amplification, Not Replacement

The future of work is not humans vs. machines—it’s humans with machines. While many organizations are currently deploying AI to cut costs, the true value of AI lies in its ability to elevate capability. Sol Rashidi reframes this challenge, introducing a consideration to use an operating model that achieves the Next Horizon including trusted orchestration of Agentic AI. This session shows how to design organizations where people, intelligent agents, and systems work in secure, governed partnership. Drawing on emerging research, she demonstrates why organizations that invest in human-centric AI, focused on amplification, will significantly outperform those that pursue automation alone.

Speed, Resilience, Trust: Why Automation is the Ultimate Agentic AI Accelerator

Deploying Agentic AI today presents enterprises with an impossible choice: give models unfettered access to mission-critical systems or build a complex, fragile safety infrastructure from scratch. In this executive session, Serge Lucio explores a strategic “third way” and how the future of enterprise automation is tailor-made for the agentic era. Learn why an Intelligent Control Plane provides the observability and governance critical to safely scaling autonomous systems, and how automation professionals can leverage their unmatched expertise in operational speed and resilience to take the lead in accelerating AI initiatives.

The Intelligent Control Plane in Practice: Four Proven Scenarios for VCF and Automation Driving IT Success

What does an Intelligent Control Plane look like in the real world? In this rapid-fire session, Dave Kellermanns explores how organizations are already deploying VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) with Automic Automation to reduce effort, eliminate costs, and sustain innovation. From push-button disaster recovery to fully-governed RAG data pipelines, we'll examine four field-tested architectural patterns that are making a difference to major global enterprises as they prepare for a landscape of AI-fueled growth, increased operational threats, and unrelenting hybrid complexity.

Autonomous Rightsizing and More: Zero-Touch IT Delivery with VCF and Automic

Your infrastructure health checks may be green, but if the business waits for manual processing of routine VM requests like rightsizing, true agility remains out of reach. Triage, complex approvals, testing, and sequential handoffs cost hours, days, or even weeks of delay—and drain valuable IT resources. There's a better way. By combining VCF Operations' deep diagnostic analytics with Automic Automation's execution power, you can add operational intelligence to your environment for a zero-touch, self-healing infrastructure. In this session, fintech leader Evertec will join Broadcom to explore using an intelligent control plane to process observability alerts and autonomously execute error-free VM right-sizing in just two minutes - seamlessly updating VCF, ITSM, and CMDB. We'll show how to eliminate manual bottlenecks, and explore ways to expand this self-governing ecosystem across other complex operations.
