The real shift

The challenge is moving.

AI agents are moving from experiments into real work. Building one is increasingly accessible. The harder and more important work is deciding what outcome matters, supplying the right context, setting boundaries, applying human judgment, and determining whether the result creates value.

Directing Intelligence

The human capability to mobilize AI toward an intended outcome.

The experience

Understand what it really takes to build, deploy, and scale AI agents at work.

Hear directly from industry experts applying AI inside real businesses, then watch how agents move from an idea into everyday work and enterprise-wide adoption.

Industry Expert Panel

Business leaders share where they are using AI agents, what is creating value, and what they are learning as they move beyond experimentation. Additional panelists will be announced as the lineup is finalized with Marquette.

Regal Rexnord in practice

See how Regal Rexnord builds and deploys agents across functions such as sales and customer service, and how the organization approaches adoption, governance, business impact, and scale.

No coding or building is required. Participants will observe a live demonstration, question the choices behind it, and engage in discussion throughout.

The scale story

From individual agents to end-to-end agentic workflows.

The session examines how a managed portfolio of agents becomes a visible enterprise ecosystem, how workflows are redesigned around agents, and what Human Agency must provide as adoption scales.

Visibility, ownership, lifecycle management, governance, security, and evidence of business value make responsible scale possible.

These are two different views of the ecosystem, not a 16-to-2,000 growth count. Insight reports 16 production and pilot agents in the managed portfolio. The control plane then identified about 2,000 agents operating across the broader environment.

What you will take back

A sharper set of questions.

The goal is not mastery of a particular tool. It is a practical way to direct AI purposefully and evaluate whether it deserves to scale.

  1. 1What outcome are we actually trying to create?
  2. 2What context and boundaries does the AI need?
  3. 3Where does human judgment remain essential?
  4. 4What evidence would show that the agent is working?
  5. 5What must be true to scale it responsibly?

What to expect

Learn what it takes to move AI agents from an idea into real work.

Over two hours, you’ll hear from business leaders applying AI today, see how Regal Rexnord builds and scales agents, and work through the questions that determine whether an agent creates value.
