Power and protect AI interactions.

A machine is increasingly your first customer and your first point of contact. It doesn’t want a page — it wants an answer. Agents don’t browse or click; they chain and instantly make decisions thousands of times per second. 

Your infrastructure wasn’t designed for this. It wasn’t built for real-time AI applications or the agents calling them, and it certainly wasn’t built for the real-time threats that come with AI. 

Akamai’s AI Summit is your chance to discover how to meet these demands head-on and ensure your infrastructure is capable of powering and protecting real-time, agentic AI. 

Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Location: Oracle Park, 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 

Time: 12:00PM - 7:00PM

Why should you attend?

You’ll leave with actionable insights about AI infrastructure, including:

• Where inference performs best and its ideal architecture.
• How to adapt your security model for AI agents and their interactions.
• Perspectives from AI engineers from NVIDIA and Akamai, who will deconstruct a live AI application.
• Why a millisecond matters and how your infrastructure can deliver that advantage.
• An interactive discussion, hosted by Dave McCarthy of IDC, on why inference is going distributed.
• How AI changes your operating model, with guidance from best-selling author and technology visionary Salim Ismail.

Join CEOs, CTOs, VPs of engineering, chief architects, platform leaders, and technology leaders. If you are evaluating AI application performance, modeling egress costs, or determining where inference should live, this day is created for you.
