Ask the Experts: What 600 Leaders Reveal About Building the Foundation for AI Success

65% of tech leaders say their infrastructure is already too complex — and it’s slowing them down.

But the same report shows a clear way forward.

As organizations move from pilots to production, they’re realizing that traditional systems weren’t built for this moment — where scaling AI means navigating new energy demands, faster iteration cycles, and a growing skills gap. The 2026 AI Infrastructure Report, based on insights from 600 global technology leaders, highlights the turning point: complexity is now the #1 drag on progress — and simplification is the new strategy for speed.

Join Jason Brown, Stephanie Giard, and Sean Derrington (Google Cloud) for a live conversation on what’s working, what’s next, and how forward-thinking teams are building smarter, faster, and more resilient infrastructure — not more layers.

What’s moving them forward:

97% say cloud is essential to scaling AI
72% are partnering to accelerate infrastructure transformation
63% are consolidating and modernizing their environments
57% report faster time-to-results after revamping their data pipelines

From simplifying operations to boosting agility, this session dives into the real-world moves that are helping teams flip the equation — and turn complexity into competitive advantage.

If 2026 is your year to scale smarter, don’t miss this conversation.
