Tomorrow in San Francisco, VentureBeat’s Transform 2025 kicks off. For years, this has been the leading independent gathering for enterprise technical decision-makers — the hands-on builders and architects on the front lines of applied AI.
Our mission has always been to cut through the hype and focus on the most critical, execution-oriented challenges our audience faces, and this year, one conversation towers above all others: the agentic AI revolution.
We’ve all been captivated by the potential. But a chasm has opened between the jaw-dropping demos from research labs and the messy reality of enterprise deployment. While agents are poised to become the new engine of the enterprise, a recent KPMG study found that only 11% of companies have actually integrated them into their workflows.
This is the “Agentic Infrastructure Gap,” and closing it is the big challenge this year. It’s not about the agent itself, but about building the enterprise-grade chassis – the security, governance, data plumbing, and orchestration – required to manage a digital workforce.
That’s why we’ve dedicated this year’s VB Transform agenda to being a real-world playbook for navigating this new frontier. It’s the event for leaders who need to move from concept to reality, and here’s how we’re tackling it.
Architecting the new enterprise chassis
The “Agentic OS” requires a new orchestration, both at the application level but also below it, lower in the stack. This about orchestrating the right compute for the right task. At Transform, we’re mapping this new landscape with the architects building it.
