AI Networking Summit Draws
800+ to Discuss AI’s Role in Enterprise IT
ONUG's inaugural AI Networking Summit captivates
audience with a compelling vision of AI's future.
ONUG’s first-ever AI Networking Summit last week
drew over 800 attendees, hundreds of online viewers and 35 sponsors in what was
hailed as a pivotal event in the AI networking space.
The Summit, held at Union Station in Dallas,
Texas, and hosted by FedEx, brought together IT leaders across industries to
explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will transform enterprise IT
infrastructure. Delegates from the largest corporations in the world, including
FedEx, Citibank, United Airlines, American Airlines, Halliburton, Cigna,
Fidelity Investments, Toyota and others participated in the event. The Summit
featured nearly 100 speakers, 45 sessions and more than 35 Tools, Technologies
and Techniques sessions that focused on groundbreaking, market-ready solutions
in AI-powered cloud security, networking platforms and optimized infrastructure.
Cisco’s SVP/GM Security Business Group, Tom
Gillis, unveiled its new Hypershield solution, an AI-native security system
designed for data centers and the cloud. And the Summit’s conference agenda had
a strong focus on real-world AI use cases, best practices and skill building.
Other headline keynoters included Nick Lippis, ONUG’s Co-Founder and Co-Chair, FedEx’s Staff VP, IT
Governance, Risk, Compliance, Michael Milligan, AMD’s CVP of Networking Soni
Jiandani, along with executives from World Wide Technology, Fortinet, Gluware,
IBM, Verizon and Graphiant.
"The enthusiasm around AI was palpable from
the moment the doors opened on Day 1," said Nick Lippis. "It's clear
that IT teams see the tremendous potential of AI to enhance network operations,
security and efficiency. The AI Networking Summit is proud to provide a
platform to accelerate AI's responsible adoption in today’s enterprise."
Fortinet and Network to Code were recognized at
the event for their strong engagement in the ONUG Community and their work to
drive enterprise IT participation in the inaugural Summit.
Since 2012, ONUG Conferences have focused on
building, securing and automating enterprise cloud infrastructure. As the
industry enters a transformative era around AI, ONUG Conferences are rebranding
to the AI Networking Summit at ONUG. This change reflects an important
strategic shift towards integrating AI across all aspects of cloud and
on-premise infrastructure and its management.
