Reinventing enterprise modernisation strategy with agentic AI

Food for Thought: How autonomous AI is transforming decision making, execution, and enterprise value creation

An evening of future-defining ideas in a venue that defined musical history. Set at The Hit Factory, New York, the legendary studio where icons like Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Stevie Wonder recorded era defining albums, this Food for Thought event explores how the next great creative revolution is unfolding not in music, but in business.

Hosted by HotTopics, Tredence, and Google Cloud, the evening will bring together senior business and technology leaders to examine how agentic AI (autonomous systems capable of reasoning, deciding, and acting with minimal human input) is transforming enterprise decision making, execution, and value creation. 

Much like the artists who turned ideas into cultural milestones within these same walls, today’s innovators are using AI to turn data into action, bridging the gap between knowing and doing, and reshaping how organisations create impact at scale.

What to Expect

This invitation-only Food for Thought gathering brings together senior business and technology leaders for an evening of high-impact discussion and connection at one of Manhattan’s most iconic venues, The Hit Factory.

Through a moderated, peer led debate and collaborative dinner conversation, we’ll explore how enterprises can embrace agentic AI responsibly and effectively. Expect candid insights, forward-looking use cases, and practical strategies for modernising your business model for 2025 and beyond.

Key discussion themes include:

• Strategy & Execution: Which decisions can you delegate to agents without losing control?
• Operational Readiness: How are enterprises embedding agentic AI into real workflows beyond pilots?
• Risk, Trust & Governance: What happens when agents make the wrong call and how do you ensure compliance?
• Regulation & Ethics: What can the U.S. learn from Europe’s AI Act on risk and accountability?
• Workforce Design: What new roles and structures will intelligent autonomy demand?
• Technology & Integration: Is your tech stack ready for agentic interoperability or will legacy systems hold you back?
• Scaling with Confidence: How do you measure impact, maturity, and trust at scale?

Expect a dynamic exchange of ideas, actionable takeaways, and a clearer view of what it takes to lead responsibly in the age of intelligent autonomy.
