01
Agentic AI in production
Which autonomous workflows does the business trust to act without a human in the loop, and how are they governed once they run?




An invitation-led day for the CIOs, CDOs and Chief AI Officers who own enterprise AI strategy. Six conversations on agentic AI, ROI, governance and the operating model, closed by the AI150 and AI100 Awards.
Tokyo · 1st edition opens in
MachineCon is an invitation-led, in-person enterprise AI leadership summit for CIOs, CDOs, Chief AI Officers and senior data and analytics leaders. Organised by AIM Media House, the 2027 editions take place in Tokyo on 14 May 2027, New York on 23 July 2027, Dallas on 15 October 2027. Each one-day gathering brings enterprise decision-makers together for discussions about AI strategy and implementation, and closes with the AI150 Awards in New York or the AI100 Awards in Tokyo and Dallas.

The 2027 programme
Each theme runs through keynotes, panels, CxO debates and closed-door round tables in every city. Each grows out of what the New York room argued about in 2025 and 2026.
01
Which autonomous workflows does the business trust to act without a human in the loop, and how are they governed once they run?
02
AI is costing more every year. Which programmes return money the CFO recognises, and how is that measured at the board?
03
From shadow AI to accountable AI: regulation, data sovereignty and responsible AI as operating discipline.
04
Observability, data quality and the platform decisions that decide whether AI reaches production at all.
05
Where the CDO, CIO and Chief AI Officer sit, how teams are rewired, and what the board will bank on.
06
In-house platforms against vendor solutions, and how to de-risk the transformation either way.
