Event Overview
The IDC Enterprise Agentic AI CIO Roundtable, held at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, brought together senior technology and business leaders for an exclusive evening of insight and dialogue on the realities of agentic AI in the enterprise. Co-hosted by IDC in partnership with AWS and SUDO Consultants, the roundtable explores how organizations across the Middle East can move beyond AI experimentation to achieve measurable business outcomes at scale. With agentic systems projected to represent half of all AI spending by 2029, and 34% of MEA organizations planning to run AI on cloud within the next year, the conversation focused on what it takes to lead, not lag in the AI era.
