Mike Austin

CEO

Why Vendors Win Renewals and How CIOs Are Finally Changing the Outcome

  • Why renewal pricing and discount ceilings are often set before negotiations
    formally begin.
  • The quiet data gaps vendors rely on — and how they shape your “starting
    position.”
  • The 90-day leverage window most enterprises miss every cycle.
  • What changes when CIOs control the entitlement narrative instead of
    defending it.

Room 2

Christopher Belford

Senior Executive

Beyond the Pilot: What Agentic AI Is Starting to Look Like in Production

  • Escaping "Pilot Purgatory": why only 11% of organizations cross from experimentation into production, and how legacy infrastructure, not the AI itself, is the real blocker
  • Why the competitive moat isn't model selection but orchestration: wiring agents together across systems, permissions, and constraints in ways that won't commoditize
  • From human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop: the governance frameworks and FinOps disciplines that make autonomous, multi-agent action responsible and cost-controlled
  • Why most agentic AI failures are context failures rather than intelligence failures, and what that means for how architects, engineers, and operators build for production
