By 2027, half of all business decisions will be augmented or automated by AI agents for decision intelligence. This seismic shift is fundamentally changing how organisations operate — and AI leaders are under increasing pressure to adapt, innovate, and guide their teams through growing complexity.
📌 The Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2026 is designed to help AI leaders meet their biggest challenges head-on.
This year, Gartner is significantly expanding its AI content to ensure attendees have the resources and insights they need to succeed. The summit's agenda places AI at the forefront, featuring a dedicated AI track covering a wide range of critical topics, including:
- ✅ AI Strategy & Responsible AI
- ✅ Risk Management & Governance
- ✅ Generative AI & Large Language Models (LLMs)
- ✅ Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
