VIRTUAL EVENT

Turn Data Chaos into AI Clarity: Virtual Summit

Unlock AI Innovations with your Data Strategy

The AI landscape is evolving at breakneck speed - from generative experiences to autonomous agentic systems that reason, act, and adapt in real-time. This explosion of machine data demands that organizations adopt a new data strategy: one that delivers not only access, but actionable insights, robust data governance, and unmatched agility at petabyte scale, across every domain.

Fragmented platforms, siloed machine data, and operational complexity aren't just inefficiencies anymore; they're barriers preventing you from scaling AI with confidence and speed.

Join our transformative 3-day virtual summit and discover how Cisco Data Fabric enables you to unify, activate, and operationalize machine data at massive scale. Powered by the Splunk platform, the Cisco Data Fabric is designed to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity while overcoming the challenges of managing vast volumes of distributed data.

What You'll Experience:
Day 1 – Data Transformed, AI Elevated: Key Insights from Industry Leaders
The agentic AI era is redefining how organizations operate. As machine data volumes explode and AI systems become more autonomous, the real differentiator is no longer access to data, but the ability to unify, govern, and activate it as a trusted foundation for intelligent action. Organizations that succeed will move beyond reactive insight to predictive, AI-driven operations powered by a unified data strategy.

Join this opening leadership forum to hear from Cisco & Splunk leaders, visionary customers, and industry analysts on how modern enterprises are turning data complexity into strategic advantage.

• Keynote: Making Your Data Strategy a Force Multiplier in the Agentic AI Era
• Unlocking the Power of Data and AI - An Expert Perspective: Hear directly from pioneering leadership at Autodesk on how Cisco Data Fabric is enabling them to solve complexity and drive breakthrough outcomes
• Analyst Perspective: Join this fireside chat with industry experts from S&P Global 451 Research and Cisco to learn about emerging trends, challenges, and winning strategies surrounding agentic AI.

Day 2 – Cisco Data Fabric Unveiled: In-Depth Technology Sessions
Turning AI ambition into real-world impact requires more than vision - it demands a modern data foundation that can scale, adapt, and deliver trusted intelligence across every domain. In the agentic AI era, technology leaders must unify data without increasing cost or complexity, bring analytics to where data lives, and enable AI systems that operate with context, governance, and human oversight.

Let’s move from strategy to execution, unpacking how Cisco Data Fabric - powered by the Splunk platform - delivers the architectural foundation enterprises need to operationalize AI at scale:

• Perspective: The Data Challenge and Opportunity in the Agentic AI era
• Unified Intelligence at Ludicrous Scale: Data Management & Federation
• Building an AI-Ready, Cost-Effective Data Foundation: Machine Data Lake
• Move From Reactive to Proactive to Predictive Operations: AI Canvas , Splunk AI Assistants, Time Series Foundation Module, AITK, Splunk MCP Server

Day 3 – Activate with AI: Hands-On Workshops
Stop theorizing. Start Building. See real-time demonstrations and gain hands-on access to the latest technological advances powering agentic AI innovation - then apply them immediately in your own environment:

• Live Demonstrations: Experience how Splunk's Time Series Foundation Model (TSFM), AI Toolkit (AITK), Splunk MCP (Model Context Protocol) and Data Science Development Language (DSDL) transform machine data into high-quality intelligence powering autonomous operations.
• Hands-On Workshop: Building AI Workflows and Agentic Systems: Build practical AI workflows and leverage agentic systems – techniques you can deploy in your own environment.

Whether you’re architecting the strategy or building the solution, join us to shape the future of AI.
