If 2024 was the year of foundation models and 2025 was the year of chips, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of the graph.

As models scale and compute fragments across clouds, value is shifting toward a new control layer: systems that define how data, memory, agents, and intelligence connect. Graph-native architectures are emerging as the infrastructure that determines how AI actually works in production.

Join us for a closed-door conversation with leaders across the AI stack:
- Kirk McKeown, CEO of Carbon Arc and former Head of Proprietary Research at Point 72. Connect with Kirk.
- Jayeeta Putatunda, Director of AI at Fitch Ratings. Connect with Jayeeta.
- Drew Das, Staff AI Engineer at Sixfold. Connect with Drew.
- Catherine Lee, ML Software Engineer at Amazon. Connect with Catherine.
- George Kailas, CEO of Propsero, will be our moderator and event host. Connect with George.

Together, we’ll explore what the rise of graph-centric systems means for the future of AI: who gains leverage, who gets abstracted away, and where durable advantage will live.
