Talk tracks

"The way enterprises design, build and operate technology is undergoing its most significant shift in a decade. Complexity is rising, business expectations are accelerating, and architectures are becoming more distributed, interconnected and experience-led.

For this year’s Technology Chapter, we’re anchoring our agenda around the themes that will genuinely shape how technology leaders drive value, modernisation and resilience over the next 12–18 months."

AI-Native Engineering: Redefining How Software Gets Built

Software development is being reshaped by AI-native engineering platforms.

Automated testing, code generation, intelligent pipelines and developer copilots are accelerating delivery while shifting how teams think about quality and productivity.

In 2026, engineering leaders are re-evaluating their stacks, skill models, governance, and the opportunities and constraints of AI-assisted development.

This theme explores how to build engineering environments designed for speed, safety and scale.

Intelligent Automation & the Rise of Enterprise Agents

Automation has shifted from isolated scripts and RPA bots to orchestrated, intelligent workflows.

We’re now entering the era of enterprise agents, systems capable of planning tasks, making contextual decisions and coordinating work across platforms.

In 2026, leaders are exploring how to integrate these agents safely, define guardrails, redesign processes and ensure humans and machines work in harmony.

The conversation is moving from ‘what can we automate?’ to ‘what should we automate and how should hybrid teams operate?

Data Provenance, Quality & Trust in a Distributed Enterprise

Data is now everywhere across clouds, SaaS tools, analytics platforms and operational systems.

As the estate fragments, trust has become the defining metric.

In 2026, leaders are investing heavily in provenance, lineage, decentralised governance and data contracts to ensure data is accurate, compliant and ready for automation.

This theme focuses on building the foundations for trusted, connected intelligence across the enterprise.
