The Agentic Enterprise
Putting AI agents to work without losing control
AI agents are moving from pilots into production, and some are already overstepping. What agents can safely do today, and the identity, authority and accountability they need to earn trust.
About this keynote
Agents are now booking, buying, negotiating and writing code on behalf of people and companies. The upside is enormous, and so is the risk. Sandy has covered the agent shift week by week in her Forbes column, from agentic commerce rails to agents that broke out of their sandboxes. As CEO of Equs she is building the privacy-first identity and trust layer that agents are still missing.
This keynote gives leaders a grounded view of where agents create value now, why “who authorized this, and why should it be trusted?” is the question that matters, and how to put verifiable identity, bounded authority and a clear audit trail around every agent before it acts.
Your audience will leave with
- 1Where agents are delivering ROI today, and where they are still hype
- 2The three controls every agent needs: verified identity, explicit boundaries and a record of its actions
- 3A governance checklist for agents already running in your business
- 4How agent economics, from compute to pricing, change your AI budget
Before the event, several people told me what an awesome speaker she was, so my expectations were high. But Sandy knocked it out of the park: she was brilliant, funny, insightful, and gave a masterful presentation. My only regret was that I didn’t give her a bigger slot!
