Join us in-person on Wednesday, 25th February for a cross-industry exploration of agentic AI—what it is, what it isn’t, and why organisations are racing to understand its potential. This session will open with an expert Point of View from Accenture’s Data & AI practice, sharing fresh insights from recent industry research and real examples of how agentic AI is evolving globally.

A diverse panel of practitioners will unpack challenges around governance, regulation, practical use cases, and what it really takes to move from experimentation to scalable solutions. Whether you’re beginning your journey or already hands on, this event aims to spark ideas, clarify definitions, and illuminate where agentic AI is heading next.
