The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the foundational interface for agentic AI. By providing a standardized way to connect large language models to enterprise data sources and tools, it enables a shift from isolated experimentation to secure production-grade automation. This gathering is designed for practitioners to address the technical friction of operationalizing this control plane at scale.
4:00 PM – 4:30 PM: Arrival & Networking
4:30 PM – 4:35 PM: Opening Remarks: Defining the Enterprise AI Control Plane
4:35 PM – 5:15 PM: Session 1: The Interoperability Layer
Themes:
API Authentication & Service-to-Service Trust • Cross-Cloud Connectivity • Secure Tool Access for AI Agents • Moving from Read-Only to Autonomous Enterprise Actions
4:35 – 4:45: Open Table: The Integration Tax (Audience Huddle)
Discussion around the operational friction of connecting AI systems into enterprise environments: fragmented APIs, inconsistent permissions, workflow orchestration, and secure connectivity between models and enterprise tooling.
4:45 – 5:15: Practitioner Pitches: Tetrate, Cequence
Tetrate: Service connectivity, governance, and policy enforcement for AI-enabled distributed systems
Cequence: Securing API traffic and protecting the expanding machine-to-machine attack surface created by AI agents and MCP-enabled workflows
5:15 PM – 5:55 PM: Session 2: The Operational Intelligence Layer
Themes:
Operationalizing AI Workflows • AI Decision Visibility • Agentic Process Orchestration • Behavioral Monitoring & Enterprise Oversight
5:15 – 5:25: Open Table: Can Enterprises Actually Trust Autonomous AI Workflows? (Audience Huddle)
Discussion around where organizations are struggling to operationalize AI systems safely: workflow reliability, visibility into agent behavior, orchestration across enterprise systems, and measuring business outcomes from AI deployments.
5:25 – 5:55: Practitioner Pitches: Distyl, Singulr, Terragrit
Distyl: Designing and deploying production-grade AI workflows and enterprise copilots integrated into real operational systems
Singulr: Delivering visibility, behavioral intelligence, and operational oversight across complex AI-driven enterprise environments
Terragrit: Applying operational AI and intelligent automation to industrial and field-based environments, helping enterprises bridge AI decisioning and real-world execution and operational resilience.
5:55 PM – 6:00 PM: Closing Thoughts & Transition to Happy Hour
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Happy Hour & Peer-to-Peer Technical Sync
Audience
Senior enterprise leaders across AI, engineering, and security (CIOs, CTOs, Heads of AI, and platform/security leaders), along with investors and builders.
