AI In the Context of Strategic IT Decision Making – Main Stage Keynote
WWT expert: David Reilly, Chief Development Officer
Date/Time: October 23, 2025, 9:35 am ET
This discussion will cover the Board Level Perspective on Challenges and Opportunities and the 5 Critical Prioritization Factors that drive decisioning and funding from a Board perspective, how a board thinks about investment, balancing factors and business priorities, with an AI Context.
WWT, Cisco and NVIDIA: Scaling Enterprise AI Together – World Wide Technology Triple-T
WWT expert: Nathan Bogan, Director and Chief Technology Advisor
Date/Time: October 22, 2025, 3:15 pm ET
Learn how WWT is collaborating closely with Cisco and NVIDIA to bring cutting-edge AI solutions to life with the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA. In this session, we'll explore the key components of the AI stack that power this joint solution and what makes it unique in the market. Whether you're just starting your AI journey or looking to scale, discover how this partnership is accelerating real-world AI adoption with security, scalability and innovation at its core.
The Data Tsunami: Why Real AI Traffic Demands a Network Re-Architecture
WWT expert: Brian Gilbert, Chief Technical Advisor and Vice President
Date/Time: October 22, 2025, 3:35 pm ET
As AI workloads explode across enterprises, networks designed for small, random, short-lived flows are being overwhelmed by the reality of modern AI traffic — massive, synchronized, long-lived flows that saturate links and expose the fragility of static architectures. Recent data shows that AI traffic is not just heavier, but fundamentally different: predominantly multicast or all-to-all, hypersensitive to latency, and able to turn traditional switch oversubscription and ECMP balancing into bottlenecks.
This panel will examine why the industry's traditional best-effort, entropy-dependent designs can't support AI's unforgiving performance needs. Expect real data on what happens when a single AI job eats your bandwidth for weeks — and the hidden costs when tail latency drags out training runs by 50% or more.
From NOC to AOC: Transforming Operations in the AI Era
WWT expert: Neil Anderson, VP, Cloud, Infrastructure, and AI Solutions
Date/Time: October 23, 2025, 3:20 pm ET
This forward-looking panel examines the evolution of traditional operations centers into AI-driven Agentic Operations Centers (AOCs). Panelists (including NOC/SOC leaders and AI ops specialists) will share how AI is being used today for predictive alerting and automated remediation, and envision next-generation centers where intelligent agents perform most monitoring and troubleshooting tasks. Discussion will cover blending NOC and SOC workflows, training staff to supervise AI workflows, and establishing reliability when machines make split-second decisions. Emphasis is on how enterprises can implement controlled-autonomy: letting AI handle routine incidents while human experts guide policy and handle exceptions.
Securing the Autonomous Network: Agentic AI Challenges and Solutions
WWT expert: Kate Kuehn, Area Vice President of Global Cyber Advocacy
Date/Time: October 23, 2025, 3:50 pm ET
The rise of autonomous, AI-driven networks introduces unprecedented opportunities—but also significant security risks, compliance challenges and governance complexities. In this critical panel, leading security experts and CISOs will discuss practical strategies to mitigate threats unique to Agentic AI deployments, from ensuring transparency and auditability in AI decision-making to implementing robust Zero Trust and continuous verification frameworks. Panelists will share best practices and actionable insights for maintaining rigorous oversight and governance in adaptive networks, ensuring enterprises can safely embrace the full potential of controlled autonomy.
