Build trust. Scale AI.
Drive ROI.
AI is already reshaping how enterprises operate—and the organizations creating the most value are moving beyond experimentation to scale AI with confidence.
At Gartner IT Symposium 2026, discover how to build the trust, governance and resilience needed to move faster and embed AI across people and technology. Learn how to turn AI investment into measurable enterprise value while building the foundation to scale what’s next.

The 2030 CIO will define their success by how confidently they move faster while driving ROI from AI today.
As AI reshapes how organizations operate, chief information officers (CIOs) must build the trusted foundation, governance and resilience to advance from isolated successes to enterprise-wide transformation.
In this session, explore how to securely scale AI and turn AI investment into measurable business outcomes.
Speakers
Software is running the business. Agents and applications act continuously, but the data behind them still moves in batch. Learn how organizations keep distributed context current, governed and ready for action across hybrid environments without forcing everything into one place. Understand how capturing change and governing it in the flow, from engineering through operations, enables AI and automation act on what is happening now with sovereignty and control.
See how matching workloads to the right engine and runtime improves cost, performance and risk and where to start with one workflow and expand.
Speaker
The conversation has shifted from building AI to operating AI. As AI becomes embedded in mission-critical workflows, organizations need confidence that every model, workload and decision is secure, governed, economically sustainable and under their control.
Discover how to unify infrastructure, data and AI on a trusted hybrid foundation to accelerate innovation, preserve digital sovereignty and run AI where critical data and applications reside.
Speaker
AI success is shifting from model innovation to enterprise execution. As organizations scale AI agents across the enterprise, CIOs must control costs, modernize legacy applications, govern autonomous systems and deliver measurable business outcomes.
Join IBM to explore why the winners of the AI era will distinguish themselves by how they operate AI, not simply by the models they choose.
Quantum computing is moving from exploration to enterprise adoption. Organizations are integrating quantum into innovation strategies, developing quantum-enabled workflows and preparing for a new era of computing.
Join IBM to explore how quantum, AI and high-performance computing converge through quantum-centric supercomputing to tackle complex challenges—and gain practical guidance on identifying opportunities and getting started.
