Experience the #GartnerAPPS 2025 Keynote!

Forging the Foundations for an AI-Native Era

The foundations of successful enterprise applications — technology, skills, and culture — are emphasized as we enter an “AI-native era,” and as technical debt hinders our progress. Listen into our 2025 Opening Keynote for Gartner's unique view on how application leaders can reestablish foundations by fostering adaptability, aligning skills with innovation, and managing risk to drive growth and transformation in a rapidly evolving landscape.

For 2026, our keynote will provide insights and examples for practical transformation that emphasize human-AI partnership as a force multiplier for delivering AI solutions that get results. Find out more.

“The notion that we need to be flexible and responsive to the ever-changing landscape of AI is something we must prioritize. The analogy of building ships instead of sandcastles when dealing with the waves of AI was a powerful reminder of the need for robust and sustainable solutions.”
