2026 Symposium: All Things AI

For qualified IT, AI, and Cybersecurity professionals. Business email required for registration.

Tuesday, October 27 | JW Marriott Anaheim

Nth Symposium is designed for leaders who need to cut through the noise:

TECHNICAL + PRACTICAL

Move AI from isolated tools and pilots into secure, governed, production-ready environments

REAL WORLD STRATEGIES

Building secure, scalable, organizational-ready AI

Avoid Lift-and-Shift Déjà Vu

We learned it once with the cloud: when placement happens by default, the way in is cheap, and the exit never is.

AI is repeating the pattern: data gets uploaded wherever the tool lives, and the architecture gets decided for you.

Join us to plan your AI estate with purpose: what runs in the cloud, where your data already lives, and the governance and guardrails that travel with your data wherever it runs.

Learn how to orchestrate GPT, Claude, and Gemini in one control plane and avoid vendor lock in.

Turn every frontier release into an upgrade.

• A new Claude or GPT becomes another option flowing in

• The platform gets stronger with each launch instead of being obsoleted by it

• The durable asset is the layer, not the model

• Models commoditize; the data map, governance, and institutional memory compound

Chatbots make a person faster. AI Infrastructure makes organization stronger…

…and smarter, more efficient, compliant, resilient, consistent, governed, accountable, portable, auditable, durable, adaptable, sovereign, and secure.

A thousand individual tasks don't add up to AI enterprise capability.

The full value of personal AI productivity is at risk the day that person leaves. Enterprise AI capability stays and just keeps learning and getting better.​

AI That Grows with Technology and Your Organization

Hear about AI that builds a living map of your data and where it sits, giving agents an ongoing understanding of your organization.​

AI Governance and Shadow AI

Balancing Rapid Adoption with Content-Aware Data Governance across your Agentic Perimeter.

Learn about operationalizing AI TRiSM to mitigate prompt exploits and IP leakage in organization-wide deployments.
