Agentic Infrastructure Stack Summit hero image, October 28, 2026

Where the research starts the conversation

If you haven't been to a VentureBeat event, expect something different. Each session starts with proprietary research from our community of expert AI practitioners. A VentureBeat journalist then challenges leading experts to explain the data with real-world experience, and then the floor opens to you. Come ready to share, and to ask the hard technical questions.

The Agentic Infrastructure Stack Summit.

This 1-day AI summit is a closed-door, in-person event for enterprise IT leaders. On October 28 at Terra Gallery in San Francisco, 200 senior leaders will meet to talk candidly about running agentic AI in production.

In one focused day, the summit covers the full agentic AI stack.] It opens with a VentureBeat research briefing on how enterprises are scaling agentic AI, then moves through four layers of the stack: agentic workload orchestration, memory and context infrastructure, inference economics and emerging AI factory architectures. You'll hear what's working in production today from technology leaders at T-Mobile, the San Francisco 49ers, Microsoft, Uber, Box, Cisco, WEKA and Artificial Analysis, and you'll join a hands-on technical workshop on AI runtime governance presented by OneTrust.

Never been to a VB event? It's not what you're used to.

If you haven't been to a VentureBeat event, set aside what you expect from a tech conference. You won't sit through a run of keynotes and dry vendor pitches. You'll be part of a conversation built on evidence.

The numbers first.

Every session opens with new proprietary research fielded from VentureBeat's community of expert AI practitioners: the people deploying, scaling and running AI inside the enterprise.

Then the people who live them.

Then a VentureBeat journalist takes over and interrogates the data. They press leading practitioners on what the numbers really mean, where the findings match their own experience and where they don't.

Then it's your turn.

Attendees are invited to share their own experiences, push back, or explore deeper on what they've heard. The people in the room are hands-on technical leaders, so the questions go deep: architecture, cost, tooling, what broke and how they fixed it.
