Closing Debate
The Dependency on AI Agents: Are We Losing Critical Thinking Skills? In this engaging debate, participants will examine the impact of our increasing reliance on AI agents for information consumption and decision-making. The affirmative argues that this dependency erodes critical thinking, making individuals passive recipients of information. In contrast, the negative position claims that AI enhances critical thinking by offering quick access to diverse information, allowing individuals to focus on higher-order analysis rather than mundane tasks. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on whether AI empowers us or undermines our cognitive abilities. Speakers : – Joel Lam, Chief Digital Officer, Asia, KGI – Louis Shun, Regional Chief Information Officer, IHH Healthcare North Asia / Gleneagles Hospital – Tim Taylor, Chief Technology Officer, thetechconsulancy Moderator : Deacon D.K.

Atlassian AI‑Driven Product and Software Development: From Idea to Impact with Togetha
Experience how Atlassian Cloud and Atlassian Intelligence (including Rovo) turn service complexity into speed, clarity, and measurable outcomes. In this workshop, Togetha demonstrates an end-to-end “idea to impact” flow that connects intake to delivery across Loom, Jira Product Discovery, Jira, and Confluence. See AI in action as it auto-create Product Requirements, summarises business requirements and user knowledge, drafts high-quality responses and content, and answers questions across fragmented information using secure, permission-aware search. You’ll learn how to select high-impact use cases, design practical guardrails for data and roles, and launch a low-risk pilot in weeks with lightweight KPIs. We will close the loop with automation so insights become actions with AI Code Development and Testing. Leave with a repeatable product development life cycle (PDLC) blueprint to apply Atlassian AI safely and measurably, improving speed, consistency, and customer experience while maintaining enterprise governance.

Your AI Agents Write Code. Who Verifies It?
Every enterprise is betting big on AI-powered software development. The promise: build faster, ship more, win the market. The reality: most organisations are seeing single-digit productivity returns on that investment – and accumulating hidden risk at scale. AI now writes nearly half of all new code in the average enterprise – yet 96% of developers say they do not fully trust that output. Your teams adopted these tools months ago. But the verification systems designed for a world where humans wrote every line have not kept up. The result is a widening gap between the speed of code creation and the ability to ensure it is secure, reliable, and compliant. The consequences are already here. Enterprises have seen AI-generated code expose customer data, take down production systems, and introduce vulnerabilities that traditional review processes simply missed. This session introduces a practical framework – the Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC) – built for a world where AI agents are primary contributors to your codebase. Learn how AC/DC’s four-stage cycle – Guide, Generate, Verify, Solve – enables your organisation to capture the velocity and scale AI promises while maintaining the quality, security, and compliance your business demands.

Navigating the Dark Data Frontier: A Modern Framework for Data Security
Navigating the Dark Data Frontier: A Modern Framework for Data Security In today’s hyper-connected ecosystem, data is no longer confined to a single server or cloud, it is everywhere. As organizations scale, they often face a growing “transparency gap” sensitive information resides in forgotten silos, unmanaged shares, and shadow applications. When you cannot see your data, you cannot secure it, leading to a reactive security posture that increases both operational costs and regulatory exposure. Modern data security requires moving beyond traditional boundaries. It demands a shift toward a “data-centric” strategy that automatically discovers hidden risks and applies intelligent protection that follows the information wherever it travels. This session explores how to balance the freedom of data movement with the necessity of absolute control, ensuring security becomes an accelerator for innovation rather than a roadblock. Speaker : Hinson Hui (System Engineer in Forcepoint LLC) |

Turning Data Readiness into Scalable AI Value
Most AI initiatives don’t fail because of weak models – they fail because organisations can’t trust or activate the data those models rely on. As AI moves from experimentation to autonomy, fragmented data, static governance, and disconnected systems quietly become the real blockers to scale. In this session, Nathan Gower, APAC Managing Director- Boomi explores the shift required to move beyond pilots and unlock measurable AI value. Drawing on real-world examples and emerging best practices, he will show how data readiness, integration, and governance must evolve to support agentic AI operating safely inside core business processes.

Securing the agentic workspace, from humans to agents
AI agents are now embedded in everyday work, often operating as shadow AI beyond traditional controls. As the agentic workspace evolves, risk is no longer limited to users, it extends to the intent and behaviour of AI agents as they access, share, and act on data. In this demo session, see how Proofpoint secures the agentic workspace with a unified, human-centric approach. Learn how to uncover shadow AI, gain visibility into agent intent and behaviour, and apply context-aware controls to govern how information is used across your environment. We will also highlight the latest innovations in AI security and data governance, helping you reduce risk, maintain control, and enable AI adoption with confidence.
