AI speed meets enterprise control
Agentic AI creates value when enterprises can control the context agents use, the systems they access, the work they perform and the cost of operating them at scale. Discover how IBM’s deep industry and transformation expertise, together with its expanded technology portfolio, including Confluent, HashiCorp® and Cloudability®, helps organizations connect real-time intelligence to action. It also helps them modernize the foundations AI depends on and maintain control over security, performance and costs as AI scales.
Join IBM at AWS re:Invent at Booth #1022 to see how enterprises are moving from fragmented AI initiatives to connected, governed execution on AWS.
Our sessions

AI agents are moving fast, but isolated agents will not change how the enterprise runs. To create value at scale, agents need real-time business context, orchestration across systems and workflows, governed execution and control over the infrastructure, performance and cost behind them.
Join IBM and industry leaders to explore four foundations for moving from disconnected agents to enterprise-wide execution on AWS. Through demonstrations and client perspectives, see how these foundations work together to connect intelligence to action, coordinate end-to-end workflows and give organizations the visibility and control needed to scale AI agents confidently.
Speaker: Neel Sundaresan, General Manager, Automation and AI
Make a change. Deploy it. Wait. Dig through the logs. Try again. For years, that loop has cost infrastructure engineers countless hours, time better spent shipping what comes next.
In this session, discover how to take engineers out of the routine operational loop without giving up oversight. Define the outcome, let AI work through the iterations and step back in only when a real decision needs you. See the pattern in action with Terraform, Vault, Kubernetes, Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore and more.
Speakers:
- Kyle Ruddy, Sr. Director, Product Marketing, HashiCorp
- Cole Morrison, Head of Brand Story & Principal Evangelist, HashiCorp
AI is a catalyst for growth and innovation, yet only 17% of AI initiatives reach full-scale production. Join IBM and AI trailblazers to explore the three-step blueprint for scaling AI on AWS: modernizing the enterprise core across applications, data and infrastructure; driving co-innovation with AI ecosystem; and putting digital labor to work in real workflows.
Discover how IBM Consulting® helps organizations move beyond isolated use cases, accelerate ideas into production and make AI work inside the enterprise, not around it.
Speaker: Dan Kusel, AWS Global Managing Partner, GM, and Global Practice Leader
Your agents can't act on yesterday's data. In this session, learn how Confluent and IBM connect streaming events, governed data and agent orchestration into one production-ready AI pattern on AWS.
Confluent Intelligence brings streaming decisions into the flow of business, while Granite® TS predicts what comes next. Watsonx Orchestrate® routes actions through the right agent, all grounded in a fresh, governed business context. You'll leave with practical patterns for moving from brittle data pipelines to streaming-native AI, built for speed, trust and scale.
Speaker: Sean Falconer, Product Lead for AI at Confluent
Agentic AI can transform how utilities serve customers, manage infrastructure and respond to operational events. Join IBM Consulting and industry leaders to see how organizations are putting agentic AI to work on AWS across complex operational workflows. Through real client stories, explore how modern platforms, trusted data and secure software foundations help teams improve service, strengthen resilience and move AI into production with confidence.
Speaker: Joey Ramion, Lead Client Partner, NextEra Energy/Florida Power & Light
AI workloads can consume millions of dollars in infrastructure before anyone notices whether they're being used efficiently. GPUs sit idle, clusters become overprovisioned and engineering teams struggle to balance performance with rapidly growing costs.
In this session, learn how engineering teams running Amazon EKS can identify wasted GPU capacity, understand the true cost of AI workloads and automate optimization without sacrificing application performance. We'll share practical techniques to improve utilization, reduce waste and optimize AI infrastructure at scale.
Speakers:
- Joe Dahlquist, VP Product Marketing, Apptio, an IBM Company
- Andrew Midgley, Principal Product Marketing Manager
AI value does not come from more agents—it comes from agents that can complete real work across enterprise systems without creating new risk. In this session, learn how IBM is helping teams build agentic workflows that connect software delivery, automation and governance across AWS environments.
Learn how a connected approach to software development, orchestration and governance helps agents modernize applications, coordinate work and act across the enterprise with the visibility and control needed to scale.
Speaker: Michael Kwok, Vice President, IBM Bob, and Canada Lab Director
AI spend often arrives as a black box: a rising bill with little clarity into which teams, models or features drove it. In this breakout, learn how Cloudability helps teams apply FinOps discipline to AI on AWS by categorizing costs, connecting AI investments to business goals and identifying waste. Discover how we turn that visibility into action for AI workloads running on Amazon EKS, improving GPU efficiency, Kubernetes workload right-sizing and application performance.
Then, apply the same cost discipline to Amazon Bedrock, including smarter provisioned throughput decisions, so teams can explain, defend and optimize AI spend.
Speaker: Andrew Midgley, Principal Product Marketing Manager
AI gave teams a faster car. It did not fix the roads. As teams create more applications, infrastructure and complexity, the challenge shifts from moving faster to operating smarter. Enterprises need context to understand what is happening, agency to act across the tools they already use and control to keep speed from becoming chaos.
In this session, see how Terraform® and Vault® together with Kubernetes, Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore and IBM Concert® to standardize delivery, secure access and connect application context to action across hybrid environments.
Speakers:
- Kyle Ruddy, Sr. Director, Product Marketing, HashiCorp
- Cole Morrison, Head of Brand Story & Principal Evangelist, HashiCorp
Deploying enterprise AI requires a unified framework across four governance pillars: Safety, Security, Risk, and Trust. Demystify multi-layer vulnerabilities spanning base models, agentic harnesses, and tool usage, addressing threats like Mythos model risks. Learn defense-in-depth strategies for agents—including sandboxing, privilege control, reasoning tracing, and dynamic red-teaming—to mitigate prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive agency. We’ll map these practices to global frameworks like NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act to ensure continuous production readiness.
Speaker: Mikhail Shapirov, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS Partner Org, AWS
