Why Most AI Agents Never Make It to Production (And What You're Doing Wrong) [RSVP REQUIRED]
This event requires an RSVP; to attend, submit form here
Everyone's building AI agents, but most organizations are doing it entirely wrong. They are treating agents like advanced chatbots; building fragile toys instead of resilient business infrastructure. The gap between a flashy demo and a system that runs reliably, governs itself, and generates ROI is where enterprise AI initiatives die. In this session, Stride Partner Ken Judy tears down the flawed assumptions keeping your agents stuck in the lab. He shares the production-readiness framework Stride uses to construct the Agentic Enterprise and deploy autonomous systems in 90 days. You'll learn the five failure modes killing deployments before they ship, why "human-in-the-loop" is a core architectural mandate (not a checkbox), the harsh reality of production-grade governance, and how to build a bulletproof business case to escape pilot purgatory. For leaders who are done with demos and ready to ship.
