Summit Agenda

Open networking

• •Morning Coffee
• •Informal introductions and agenda walkthrough

Machines now generate more internet traffic than humans. AI agents are browsing, shopping, and transacting on our behalf, while AI tools are building more of the web than ever before. This keynote explores what the internet of tomorrow could look like, how businesses need to rethink their websites for a machine-majority world, and why trust may become the web's most valuable — and most profitable — commodity.

How AI is rewriting buyer expectations and the threat landscape at the same time. Attendees select one of the two parallel tracks below to join.

• •[Hosting Track] Customer Expectations in an AI-First Market — what buyers now expect from hosting providers, how AI is reshaping sales conversations, support, and onboarding, and where providers are winning or losing trust.
• •[Security Track] TBA

Networking Lunch

2-hour networking lunch

Governance, guardrails, and Zero Trust — two foundational shifts every hosting executive must navigate in 2026. Attendees rotate to a new track of their choice.

• •[Hosting Track] Building Agentic AI Workflows with Governance & Guardrails — using the A.G.E.N.T. model to audit existing workflows, gauge risk and readiness, engineer practical AI automation, navigate governance requirements, and track outcomes as hosting companies move from AI experiments to real operational workflows.
• •[Security Track] Securing AI Agents Across the Hosting Fleet — how hosting providers can prevent AI agents, automation tools, and connected workflows from accessing sensitive infrastructure, exposing credentials, or enabling data exfiltration at scale. This roundtable will explore practical guardrails for identity, permissions, secrets management, logging, and tenant isolation as AI-powered operations become deeply connected to production environments.

Networking Lunch

What it actually takes to host and protect AI workloads at scale — from product packaging to multi-tenant isolation. Attendees choose one track.

• •[Hosting Track] AI Search Visibility for Hosting & Infrastructure Companies — winning discovery in the era of LLM-driven search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews); structuring technical content, schema, and brand signals so AI engines cite your platform when buyers ask which provider to choose.

Afternoon Break

Closing the summit with the strategic shifts defining the next 24 months of hosting. Attendees select the final track of their choice.

• •[Hosting Track] M&A in the New Hosting Era — how AI-driven company creation, shifting valuations, tighter capital markets, and changing buyer expectations are reshaping hosting acquisitions, rollups, and exits. This roundtable will explore what makes a hosting company valuable now, what acquirers are really looking for, and how leaders should prepare for the next wave of consolidation.
• •[Security Track] Who Controls the Stack? Open-Source Governance and Resilience in the AI Era — AI may be reshaping the technology landscape, but it still runs on infrastructure built from Linux and interconnected open-source projects. Who governs that foundation—and what happens when a critical dependency, vendor, or community fails? This roundtable examines how hosting providers can evaluate governance, supply-chain risk, security response, long-term stewardship, and vendor concentration while building AI platforms designed for resilience, transparency, and choice.
