Harnessing Agentic AI in Your Organization

Ready to move beyond the AI hype? This hands-on session breaks down what agentic AI is, why it's a meaningful shift from traditional automation, and why now is the time to act.
This session will be led by Margaret Laffan, who heads Intel's Cloud GTM function and teaches Agentic AI courses at Stanford Continuing Studies. She'll be joined by Amanda Grady, Vice President of AI Platform Security at ServiceNow, where she drives the product vision for securing and governing enterprise AI - helping organizations deploy AI agents with trust, control, and oversight.

We'll explore real-world examples of AI agents reshaping business functions like communications triage, reporting, and workflow automation — then bring it to life through live demos on Intel and ServiceNow platforms, including a rapid agent build that shows practical value in real time. We'll also point you toward free and open-source tools to explore on your own.
We'll close with an honest conversation about what makes AI adoption succeed or stall, and send you off with concrete next steps, curated resources, and upcoming learning opportunities to keep the momentum going.
Whether you're just getting started or ready to scale — this session meets you where you are.

🍷 Wine and light bites will be served
