Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 conference
Why Atos at Gartner
AI is rapidly changing what technology can do. For CIOs, the bigger challenge is deciding how fast the organisation can innovate while retaining control, resilience and trust.
At Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026, Atos will bring together three conversations that increasingly need to be addressed as one: Agentic AI, cybersecurity and digital sovereignty. We will share perspectives from mission-critical, highly secure and regulated environments where reliability, resilience and control really matter.
Three conversations in Barcelona
Agentic AI: How do you move from pilots to business-critical AI that can act responsibly, securely and at scale?
Cybersecurity and resilience: How do you anticipate, withstand and recover from threats in an AI-enabled world?
Digital sovereignty: How do you retain control, choice and resilience across data, cloud, infrastructure, applications and AI?

Our Gartner speaking sessions
Three complementary conversations exploring one increasingly
important CIO challenge: how to accelerate innovation while retaining
the control, resilience and trust the business depends on.
| Date | Time | Session title | Speaker & Session details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday, November 9 | 4pm-4:30pm | Innovate Without Losing Control: Lessons From Modernising Europe’s Airspace Airspace Solution Provider Session CIOs must modernise legacy estates, exploit AI and cloud, and accelerate innovation without compromising resilience, security or control. Drawing on EUROCONTROL’s transformation of mission-critical air traffic management supporting 12.4 million flights annually, learn how to balance cloud, AI, cybersecurity and sovereignty, decide where greater control matters, avoid new lock-in and preserve future choice. |

Xpo Theatre Session Frontier AI is changing both the attack surface and the tools of defence. Learn how CISOs are securing AI adoption, using AI to strengthen defence and evolving security operations for machine-speed threats. Explore 3 principles for adaptive cyber resilience: where autonomy makes sense, where control must remain, and how security and sovereignty can enable trusted innovation without slowing the business. |

| Wednesday, November 11 | 11:30am-12:15pm | How Far Can You Scale AI Without Losing Control?, moderated by Atos CIO Boardroom AI ambition is easy; scaling it without losing control is harder. Join this facilitated peer discussion on moving AI from pilots to production while securing data and IP and managing sovereignty and critical dependencies. Together, CIOs will explore agentic AI, cybersecurity, speed and cost – and ask: what should we change, why, what else will it affect, and will it create enough value? |
