# Event Details - **Event Name**: From AI Hype to Public Impact: Can Your Agents Be Trusted to Deliver? - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 26 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 am – Wed, 26 Aug, 2026 at 11:10 am - **Event Description**: Philippines Standard Time 8:00 AM - 11:10 PM (GMT+08:00)About this EventThe New AI Reality:• AI pilots are everywhere, but production impact remains limited.• AI agents are moving from assistants to active workflow engines.• Fragmented data, weak governance and legacy systems are slowing scale.• Cost, security, control and trust now define whether AI can deliver real value.The challenge is no longer adopting AI. It is controlling, governing and scaling it across the organisation.“The winners in AI will be the organisations that turn intelligence into secure, governed execution.”-OpenGov AsiaFrom AI Hype to Public Impact: Can Your Agents Be Trusted to Deliver?Across the Philippines, government agencies and public institutions are accelerating AI adoption to improve productivity, citizen experience, compliance and operational resilience. Yet many remain caught between promising pilots and wide-scale execution.AI is evolving beyond chatbots and copilots to agentic systems that retrieve knowledge, analyse data, trigger workflows and support decisions. But without trusted data, guardrails, secure infrastructure and cost discipline, they can create as much risk as value.For leaders across government, the priority is clear: move AI from experimentation to controlled execution.How Leading Organisations Are Responding:• Governed AI Agents: Deploy agents with monitoring, policy controls and accountability.• Trusted Data Foundations: Connect fragmented data to improve accuracy and confidence.• Secure AI Operations: Balance speed with privacy, compliance and cyber resilience.• Cost-Efficient Scale: Optimise AI infrastructure, models and workloads for sustainable growth.• Industry Workflow Impact: Apply AI to customer service, KYC, fraud, healthcare, procurement and operations.Without the right foundations, organisations risk scaling AI faster than they can secure, govern or measure it.Key Takeaways for Public Sector AI Leaders:• ADVANCE AI from isolated pilots to wide-scale value• SAFEGUARD innovation through stronger governance, security and operational oversight• ESTABLISH AI agents in modern workflows• STRENGTHEN trusted data, infrastructure and controls for scalable AI adoption• EMBED AI across service delivery processes to drive productivity, efficiency and ROIWho Should AttendChief Analytics OfficersChief Data OfficersChief Digital OfficersChief Information OfficersChief Innovation OfficersChief Technology OfficersChief Transformation OfficersDirectors of Analytics and Information ManagementDirectors of ApplicationsDirectors of DataDirectors of Data ScienceDirectors of Technology Capabilities and InnovationUntitled agenda?: 07:00 AMPrivate VIP Pickup from Your Home or Office   ?: 08:00 AMRegistration and Breakfast?: 08:55 AMGroup Photograph (Yes, we will share this)?: 09:00 AM - 09:15 AMAudience Introduction?: 09:15 AM - 09:20 AMOpening RemarksHost: Mohit Sagar, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, OpenGov Asia?: 09:20 AM - 09:40 AMPower TalkHost: Unni Pillai, Head, Financial Services Tech, AWS ASEANInfo: The AI Execution Shift: From Pilots to Governed, Agentic Execution As AI moves from experimentation into core operations, organisations must rethink how intelligence is deployed, governed and scaled. The rise of agentic AI creates new opportunities to automate workflows, improve decision-making and accelerate service delivery, but it also raises important questions around trust, data readiness, security, cost and control. • Moving from AI pilots and copilots to governed agents • Building trusted data foundations for accurate, secure and scalable AI • Balancing model choice, infrastructure cost and governance requirements • Applying agentic AI to real workflows with measurable outcomes ?: 09:40 AM - 11:00 AMAudience Interactive DiscussionInfo: (This hour-long interactive session will pose strategic questions to the audience to spark participation and deeper dialogue.

By creating an environment that enables and enhances true collaboration and knowledge exchange, OpenGov enhances the experience which provides true insights from lessons learnt. These insights are delivered from, and by the many leaders in government agencies from around the world that attend these events. These events cover ICT, Health, Education and Crisis Assessment Response Effectiveness (CARE). Our team has been past winners of the \"Best CEO Level Conference in Asia\" award.\r\nIn speaking with over 500 Government ICT officials this year, we have detailed the challenges many government CIO’s face. Due to the ever changing digital environment, CIO's struggle to keep up with all these changes. To assist these CIO's, OpenGov has embarked on a journey of exploration, finding solutions and best practice examples to assist CIO's in bridging this knowledge gap.\r\nOpenGov has organised many types of events. These events being small training seminars, large scale conferences and industry based exhibitions. They specifically focus on Government, in the areas of Public Sector ICT, Health care and Education. To add further value to these events, we have included private sector representation, which has further expanded on our knowledge based and understanding in the delivery of services to our citizens.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n " } ] } ] ```
