For 2026, AI is no longer a trend—it’s becoming foundational infrastructure, transforming how software is built, how cloud and data centers operate, how security is enforced, and how businesses compete.

Leaders will gain insights into how AI will reshape SaaS pricing, DevOps cycles, cybersecurity strategies, and operational models, helping them prepare for rapid, unavoidable changes.
