IT Spending in 2026: Pruning the AI Garden

Discover what’s ahead for IT spending and generative AI innovation in 2026 and beyond. In this webinar, you’ll gain the latest view on IT spending patterns, learn how GenAI developments are set to reshape the technology landscape over the next five years and understand the supply‑ and demand‑side realities shaping the “Trough of Disillusionment.”

As GenAI moves through the trough, its trajectory will significantly influence demand, CIO priorities in 2026 and new or ongoing enterprise investments as expectations reset. The technology vendor community will face challenges, including setbacks, market disruptions and consolidation. We’ll examine why some GenAI vendors are faltering, how M&A activity is accelerating shifts across the market, and which emerging areas are likely to gain traction as GenAI capabilities advance.
