Ai+ Training

The pace of AI innovation is not slowing down—it’s accelerating. As we look ahead to 2026, the foundational shifts brought by generative AI are maturing into an era of Agentic Systems, Domain-Specific Models, and a profound redefinition of the AI Workforce.

Join Sheamus McGovern, Founder of ODSC AI and Venture Partner/Head of AI at Cortical Ventures, for a high-impact 45-minute keynote that cuts through the hype to reveal the strategic AI trends that will define business and technology over the next year. Drawing on his unique perspective from leading one of the world’s top AI conferences and investing in the most promising AI startups, Sheamus will provide a tactical roadmap for where the real value—and the next competitive advantage—will emerge.

Attendees will learn to:

- Navigate the Rise of Agentic AI: Understand the shift from simple automation to autonomous, goal-oriented AI systems and how to transition AI from a tool into a reliable ‘digital employee’ for complex workflows.

- Identify the Strategic Value of Domain-Specific Models: Discover why generalized Large Language Models are giving way to specialized, smaller models that ensure compliance, reduce cost, and deliver high-precision results in sectors like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

- Future-Proof the AI Workforce: Explore the “new skills hierarchy” and the emerging roles required for human-AI collaboration, including effective supervision, prompt engineering, and the design of AI-integrated workflows.

- Anticipate Infrastructure and Investment Bottlenecks: Gain insight into the critical constraints—from energy and compute to regulatory policy—that will shape investment decisions and operational strategy in 2026.

This is a must-attend session for technology leaders, data scientists, and business strategists ready to move beyond pilot projects and operationalize AI for enterprise-scale transformation.
