AISE 2026 Unveils Full Two-Day Program: 40+ Global Speakers Across 4 Tracks
Asia's most anticipated AI gathering returns to COEX, Seoul this August 19–20. Day 1 covers AI Frontier, Agentic AI, and Connected Intelligence; Day 2 dives into AI Transformation, Sovereign AI, and AI Infrastructure — with four afternoon tracks and simultaneous AI interpretation available for all international sessions.

From Models to Reality: Seagate's Colin Presly on What It Takes to Run AI Reliably at Scale
As AI moves from experiments to production, the data layer — not just models and compute — decides performance, cost, and scalability. Seagate's VP of Customer Engineering shares what "AI-ready" infrastructure practically means, drawn from global cloud and data-center operators.
Premium Inference: Why Speed, Cost, and Tokens Are the New Battleground of Enterprise AI
Inference is becoming the real bottleneck of production AI. SambaNova's Reggie Lu introduces disaggregated inference — separating prefill, decode, and orchestration — as the blueprint for delivering fast, secure, cost-efficient intelligence at enterprise scale.
The Sovereign Machine: Why Your Enterprise's Next Competitive Edge Isn't a Smarter Model
Enterprise AI is shifting from a reactive tool you prompt to a stateful, always-on corporate asset. Mercedes-Benz Principal AI Scientist Milind argues that lasting advantage now lies in the governance and institutional memory of your own AI systems — and offers AI leaders a phased playbook for scaling autonomous agents safely.
Decisions vs. Tasks: DHL's Prerit Mishra on What Agentic AI Actually Means in Operations
Agents that do tasks are automation with a chat interface. Agents that make decisions change how the business runs — and demand different data, governance, and operating models. DHL's Director of Data Quality gives leaders a clearer lens for where to invest first.
Plug & Play, Work Smart: Agentic AI Your Enterprise Can Deploy on Day One
Most enterprise AI projects stall in months of setup. BI Matrix's Gyuhwa Jeon shows a different path: a Plug & Play methodology and ontology technology that put agentic AI to work straight from a database connection — understanding your data, rules, and business logic from the start.
Early Bird Registration Closes June 30 — What You Need to Know Before You Book
With over 2,000 attendees expected from 40+ countries, AISE 2026 is on track to become APAC's defining AI event. Here's a breakdown of pass types, pricing, and what's included.
Jensen Huang in Seoul: Why NVIDIA Is Betting Big on Korea's Sovereign AI Ambitions
NVIDIA's CEO spent the week in Seoul meeting Korea's AI builders — from NAVER's plan to scale sovereign AI infrastructure toward gigawatt capacity at its GAK Sejong data center, to a new AI agent platform launching in Korea later this year. The message: Korea is now one of the world's centers of AI.
SK hynix and NVIDIA Team Up on Next-Gen Memory for the Global AI Factory Buildout
A new multiyear partnership puts Korean memory at the heart of the world's AI infrastructure expansion — from frontier model training to agentic and physical AI. It's a powerful signal of Korea's role in the global compute supply chain, and a theme running through AISE 2026's infrastructure sessions.
Why Agentic AI Is the Only Topic That Matters in Enterprise Right Now
From multi-agent orchestration to autonomous decision-making, agentic systems have overtaken generative AI as the boardroom priority — and they anchor AISE 2026's Day 1 program, with practitioners from Mercedes-Benz, DHL, and beyond sharing what actually works in production.
Physical AI Goes Mainstream: Robots, Mobility, and Korea's Next Industrial Leap
AI is changing how vehicles, factories, and robots are built — and Korea's mobility and robotics giants are at the center of it. From smart factories to autonomous driving, physical AI is set to be one of the most-watched themes on the AISE 2026 stage.
Sovereign AI: Why Every Nation Is Now Racing to Build Its Own AI Infrastructure
From Korea's national AI push to Singapore's sovereign compute strategy, governments are treating AI capability as critical infrastructure. AISE 2026's Day 2 sessions dive into the geopolitics of AI ownership, data residency, and compute sovereignty.
Korea's AI Startup Moment: Why Global Founders and Investors Are Looking at Seoul
Korea has grown from roughly 200 scaleups a decade ago to over 2,100 today, with AI, robotics, and deeptech leading the surge — and Gangnam and Pangyo as its beating heart. For international companies eyeing APAC, Seoul in August is the place to build those connections.
