Join Cisco for an exclusive executive forum on the real infrastructure decisions behind an AI-ready data center network — where security is not a layer you add, it is fused directly into the network.
The business wants AI. The board is asking about it. And every answer leads back to the same place — your data center network. Agentic AI is here, LLM investments are still in motion, and physical AI is closer than most roadmaps account for. The decisions IT leaders make in the next 12 to 18 months will determine whether their organization moves with confidence — or spends the next few years catching up.
Why Attend
The industry is still catching up. This conversation is not. What makes this conversation different is simple — one fabric, every workload, security built in. Grounded in architectures validated against NVIDIA's Enterprise Reference Architecture and Cloud Partner reference architecture.
What You'll Leave With
- Whether your data center network is built for where AI is going — not just where it has been
- What it really means to fuse security into the network when your AI data is never truly public
- How to scale data center network operations without scaling your team
- How growing power density is reshaping the data center decisions you are about to make
- Why the edge is no longer someone else's problem — and what your data center network needs to do about it
