Welcome & Opening Remarks
Welcome Address
Opening Keynote : Building the AI-Ready Government
Vision-setting keynote on how data, AI and digital resilience move any public sector organisation from reactive operations to predictive, intelligent decision making — with quick examples spanning security, health, central government and education.
IDC Keynote: Preparing for the Agent Economy: Acceleration, Orchestration and Resiliency
We have moved past the “Great Implementation.” As we enter 2026, the global enterprise has reached a critical inflection point where the sheer volume of data, the complexity of multi-cloud ecosystems, and the velocity of agentic AI have outpaced traditional human management. The mandate for the IT executives has fundamentally shifted: it is no longer about managing technology, but about architecting autonomy.
