IBM at Toronto Machine Learning Summit

Join IBM at Toronto Machine Learning Summit, where the AI community gathers to explore the research, tools and real-world practices shaping applied AI in Canada. As a Gold Sponsor, IBM will spotlight how enterprises can take AI from promising pilots to production-ready impact with the right foundation for trust, governance and scale.

IBM’s featured sessions will include a keynote on building, running and governing AI agents at scale, and a hands-on workshop focused on using IBM Bob to accelerate software delivery with agentic AI. Across the event, IBM will share practical ways organizations can apply AI, data and automation to solve complex business and engineering challenges.

All about the event

Agenda

Thursday, June 18, 12:05 PM, CIBC Square

As enterprises move from AI agent prototypes to production, the challenge shifts from building agents to operating them reliably across complex, multi-framework environments.

In this keynote, IBM will explore what it takes to move beyond disconnected tools toward a unified approach for building, running, evaluating, observing and governing AI agents at enterprise scale. The session will share lessons from real-world deployments and examine the operational foundations needed for production-ready agentic systems — including governance, identity management, authorization, observability, auditability, security controls and long-term context management.

Why attend: 

  • Learn what changes when AI agents move from prototype to production
  • Understand the role of a unified control plane for enterprise-scale agent operations
  • Explore how governance, guardrails and RBAC can help support trusted AI adoption
  • See what “trust by design” means when agents and humans operate in the same environment

Modern engineering teams are often slowed by legacy code, manual workflows and growing operational complexity. In this 90-minute hands-on workshop, you’ll experience how IBM Bob, an enterprise-grade agentic AI engineering partner, can help teams plan work, write production-quality code and automate time-consuming development tasks.

Through practical examples, attendees will explore how Bob supports end-to-end engineering workflows — from application modernization and AI-powered app development to multi-agent orchestration — helping teams deliver working solutions faster, smarter and with enterprise-level governance.

Why attend:

  • Build with an AI partner — not just an assistant
  • Experience workflows across planning, coding, reviewing and testing
  • Learn practical skills you can apply to your own projects
  • See how agentic AI can help teams deliver solutions faster
