AI Reliability in Production: Balancing Innovation, Governance and ROI

LIVE DINNER
20 November 2025, Canada 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm EST

Dinner Location: Modus Ristorante

As AI moves from pilot to production, executives are confronting the hard realities of scale—balancing innovation with governance, mitigating risk, and bridging the talent gap. Many organizations are discovering that running AI applications, assistants, and agents at scale introduces new complexities around compliance, reliability, and ROI that early experimentation never revealed.

To succeed, leaders must rethink how they manage data, infrastructure, and accountability. Emerging approaches such as Private AI, Virtual Private Clouds, and “Anywhere Cloud” architectures enable enterprises to retain full control of their data and IP while deploying secure, fully managed AI solutions behind
the firewall. These models reduce operational friction, improve governance, and make enterprise AI more sustainable.

Join Cloudera and a select group of your peers as we discuss how to deploy AI reliably and securely at scale, align governance, risk and compliance with practical execution and drive measurable ROI through smarter, right sized AI strategies.
