Why AI Connectivity Matters

813 attendees from 80 groups
AI is reshaping enterprise connectivity—turning it into a strategic lever for speed, cost control, and competitive advantage.

The problem is fragmentation. Most organizations have different tools, policies, and teams managing each connection point in their AI data path. The result: latency compounds, costs spiral, and governance becomes impossible at scale.

Join Kong CEO Augusto Marietti and CTO Marco Palladino for a candid conversation on how to unify your entire AI data path—from agents to models to tools—and move from pilot experiments to production scale. You'll also hear from SVP of Product Reza Shafii and Head of Product Marketing Alex Drag on what's new and what's coming in 2026: the Agentic Trust Layer, Agent Gateway, AI-native WAF, real-time data monetization, and comprehensive AI cost governance—the infrastructure layer enterprises need to operationalize AI. Learn how to prepare your stack for the demands of AI-native architecture.

Whether you're building AI governance, controlling costs, or planning your next generation of AI infrastructure, this is where the decisions that define the next decade get made.
