GEN AI vs AGENTIC AI: From Tools to Autonomous Systems
[Panel Discussion] The CTO’s Opportunity: Engineering for Intelligent Autonomy
As AI systems evolve from assistive to autonomous, CTOs are at the forefront of an enterprise redesign. This panel explores how technology leaders are architecting intelligent, adaptive platforms that go beyond automation—creating infrastructure that supports continuous learning, decision-making, and scalable autonomy. We’ll dive into the real technical and organizational challenges of deploying agentic models across complex environments, and how forward-thinking CTOs are aligning architecture, data, and ops to deliver enterprise-grade intelligence.

Leadership
[Roundtable Discussion] Structuring and Developing your Tech Teams
Managing individual contributors is an entirely different task from managing managers. As a senior leader, suddenly, your role is to work on the system rather than in the system, and you need to set up the structures that allow you to effectively lead your teams and craft fair progression and development pathways. This high-level management requires a drastic change in skillset and a shift of mindset, and this session will help you successfully structure and develop your teams and manage other managers.
This interactive session will give you frameworks to help you:
1. Effectively calibrate performance in your organization
2. Define success for your reports and set realistic growth targets
3.Support your managers as they transition to leadership.

Team Management
Do your Teams Deliver Software or Value?
In the dynamic environment of SaaS companies, addressing software complexity is paramount for engineering leaders. Subsequently, the emphasis shifts from simple software delivery to generating genuine value. This session by George Nikolaropoulos, SVP of Engineering at GWI will highlight user-centric development, agile methodologies, and data-driven decision-making as essential for delivering not only software but also substantial, enduring value to users.

How the Power of Generative AI is Shaping the Future of Tech
From Assistants to Agents: Rethinking Human-AI Collaboration
Agentic AI and copilots are quickly becoming part of everyday workflows—but what do they actually enable, and how should we think about their role in the way we work, decide, and build?
This session takes a clear-eyed look at the current state of agent-based AI systems: what they are, how they function, and where they’re genuinely creating value. Through real-world examples and use cases, we’ll move past the buzz and explore the practical, evolving relationship between humans and intelligent tools.
Expect insights on:
1.The capabilities (and limitations) of agentic AI today
2.What “copilot” really means in different work contexts
3.How to evaluate value, not just novelty, when deploying AI tools
Designed for those who want to engage critically—and constructively—with AI’s next frontier.
