Technical debt is the silent killer of innovation, draining resources, increasing security risks, and preventing organizations from adapting to market demands. Many IT leaders struggle to modernize legacy systems due to cost constraints, business resistance, and the complexity of untangling decades-old infrastructures.
This keynote will provide an actionable approach to reduce tech debt and transform legacy environments without disrupting core operations. You will learn how top organizations are strategically modernizing their IT ecosystems, leveraging cloud-native architectures, and using AI-driven automation to future-proof their technology stack.

Abstract coming soon!
As enterprises push the boundaries of generative AI, one key hurdle remains: how to coordinate multiple AI tools and models to solve real-world business problems, intelligently and at scale.
This session will showcase how UC San Diego’s agentic AI architecture tackles that challenge by extending the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with a task planning engine. The result? A more powerful, modular system that integrates local and cloud-based LLMs with planning, RAG, and analytics capabilities.
Learn how this enhanced framework empowers an Enterprise Data Agent (EDA) to dynamically select and execute the right tools (using metadata-driven logic) to deliver real-time answers and insights. Examples will include dynamic visualizations, text-to-SQL conversion, and portfolio risk analytics powered by SAP HANA S/4 Activity Hubs.

With a background in guiding digital innovation ecosystems, advanced GenAI, and modernized ecommerce across industries and academia, Mr. Lee Bogner shares how IT leaders—CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CAOs, and CXOs, and future leaders—must now transform their strategies as we evolve from PreGPT automation to Generative AI, to AI Agents, to Agentic AI, and ultimately to automatization.
Automatization represents the next phase of intelligent operations: where systems not only automate tasks but adapt, learn, and optimize autonomously across dynamic business environments.
Attend this keynote to learn about emerging leadership imperatives as technology transforms from a tool to a co-strategist.
