Off the Record with Futurum: Spring Conference Debrief

A string of major conferences, dozens of announcements, but what actually matters?

Spring conference season just delivered a concentrated dose of industry-defining moments—from Barcelona to San Jose to San Francisco to Amsterdam to Atlanta. The industry doesn’t pause to let you catch up. That’s why we’re bringing our analysts together.

In this inaugural episode of Off the Record with Futurum, four Futurum analysts provide an unfiltered debrief on spring conference season.

• The agentic AI moment is here — ready or not: Across MWC, GTC, RSAC, and KubeCon EU, one signal is clear—AI agents have moved from roadmap to reality. Vendors are shipping fast, and security, infrastructure, and development are converging. Where are enterprises actually in adoption—and how fast is this accelerating?
• The infrastructure arms race: Nvidia is positioning itself as the builder of AI factories, not just chips, amid $1T in projected demand, while Kubernetes evolves to support agentic workloads at scale. Who wins as inference becomes the new battleground?
• Governing agents before they govern you: From non-human identity sprawl to agent-driven threats, governance is now the core challenge. Security is shifting from access control to action control, while infrastructure moves toward policy-as-code. Are guardrails keeping pace?
• Observability becomes the control layer: Observability is evolving from monitoring into enforcement—emerging as the foundation of agent control planes. What happens when visibility becomes governance? 
•  The end of data plumbing: Microsoft Fabric signals a shift from fragmented pipelines to unified, AI-native data systems—moving data teams from pipeline builders to governors of agentic intent. Does this unlock scale or introduce new risks like semantic lock-in? 
•  The 6G roadmap takes shape: An AI-native 6G coalition is forming with 2029 deployment targets. How real is the progress—and what needs to happen next?

Who should attend:
If your job requires you to understand where technology is actually going — not just where vendors say it's going — this conversation is for you. Whether you're a technology or business leader, enterprise architect, CISO, product or marketing strategist, or investor, Off the Record with Futurum is built for the people who need signal, not noise. No slides, no sponsored talking points — just Futurum's analysts saying what they actually think about the announcements, the trends, and the decisions that will shape the next 12–18 months.

Live Q&A is a core part of every episode — not an afterthought. You'll have direct access to the analysts to ask the questions your team is already debating internally.
