Overview

According to IBM Institute for Business Value, 64% of CEOs are feeling intense pressure to accelerate generative AI adoption. Over the next 2–3 years, AI investments are expected to quadruple—yet for most enterprises, AI still lives in silos, pilots, and experiments.

The challenge isn’t adoption.

It’s scale, orchestration, and real-world impact.

At AI Next, powered by IBM & brought to you by StrategINK we’ll show you how Agentic AI enables enterprises to move from fragmented automation to autonomous, intelligent systems that drive proactive decision-making, operational resilience, and continuous optimization.

Agentic AI goes beyond traditional automation. It introduces intelligent agents that can:

Observe and understand complex environments
Make decisions in real time
Take action across systems
Learn and adapt continuously

This is the future of enterprise AI—and it’s already here.
