Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 conference
Why Atos at Gartner?
As organizations scale AI from pilots to core business operations, CIOs face a hard question: How fast can they innovate while retaining control, security, resilience, and trust?
At Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026, Atos will bring together three strategic priorities that increasingly need to be addressed as one: Agentic AI, Cybersecurity and Digital Sovereignty. We’ll share our perspectives and experience from mission-critical, highly secure and regulated environments where reliability, resilience and control really matter.
Three priorities, one conversation 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?

important CIO challenge: how to accelerate innovation while retaining

| Tuesday, November 10 | 3:45pm-4:05pm | Frontier AI Changed the Threat. Has Cybersecurity Changed Fast Enough? Xpo Theatre Session Frontier AI is changing both the attack surface and the speed of cyber risk. As autonomous agents and open-weight models accelerate adoption, attacker, operations and governance clocks are moving at different speeds. Hear practical lessons from Atos on closing these gaps, controlling machine-speed decisions and building cyber resilience without losing human control. |

| 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? |

What if the best place to start with AI isn’t AI at all?
For Atos CTO Florin Rotar, it should begin with a more human question: what are we trying to make better – and for whom?
Hear from Florin in this video and join him to take it further with EUROCONTROL’s Tony Licu at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026.
What should executives be asking about Agentic AI?
How do you turn Agentic AI into business value? How much autonomy is enough? In this video, Jennifer Ferrara, Global Head of Agentic AI Transformation at Atos, explores the questions every executive should be asking now.
Join Jennifer to discover more on agentic AI, cybersecurity, speed and cost, what should we change and why.
How much AI can you really scale before control becomes the problem?
Who controls the data and IP? How much autonomy is enough? Where must human oversight remain? Jennifer Ferrara, Global Head of Agentic AI Transformation at Atos, and Michael Kollar, Head of Cloud & Modern Infrastructure & Digital Workplace at Atos, share their views on these questions.
Join Jennifer and Michael to continue the conversation with Pierre-Yves Jolivet, EVP, Eviden & Cyber Services, during a peer discussion in our CIO Boardroom session titled: “How Far Can You Scale AI Without Losing Control?”
What can you not afford to lose control of?
Digital sovereignty isn’t about controlling everything. It’s about knowing what you can’t afford to lose control of. Michael Kollar, Head of Cloud & Modern Infrastructure & Digital Workplace at Atos, explains why sovereignty needs to start with your business priorities, dependencies and risk.
Discover more with Michael at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 how organisations can innovate without giving up control, resilience or choice.
