But a bigger shift is already happening: customers and partners are using AI to research, evaluate, and make decisions before any human interaction. In this session, Andy Halko explores what it means when AI becomes the first decision system your products and platforms must satisfy. Drawing from real-world product experience, he reframes this shift as a systems and architecture challenge—not a marketing one. Attendees will learn how AI is reshaping buyer behavior, where ambiguity and inconsistency become failure modes, and what changes when AI becomes the first layer of trust.?: 03:00 PM - 03:30 PMFireside Chat: The Era of Hidden ShiftsHost: Pat Dutta, GTM Lead, Rackspace TechnologyInfo: AI is moving from experimentation to production—and the real challenges are no longer tools, but operating models, governance, cost, trust, and readiness. In this fireside chat, Ben Blanquera joins Michael Fulton to unpack insights from Ben’s Forbes article, “The Era of Hidden Shifts: Non-Traditional Tech Trends to Prepare For.” Together, they explore the structural forces shaping the next phase of Cloud &amp; AI: data discipline, engineering rigor, platform engineering, security, AIOps, and AI fluency across roles. This conversation cuts through the hype to focus on scaling responsibly and building foundations for lasting impact.?: 03:30 PM - 04:00 PMBreak + Networking?: 04:00 PM - 04:30 PMPanel Discussion?: 04:15 PM - 05:00 PMSilicon Heartland Sessions LIVE!Host: Sean Erikson, CEO &amp; Co-Founder, Cloud NirvanaInfo: Join us for a live recording of Silicon Heartland Sessions featuring Andy Halko, CEO of Insivia and author of The Buyer-Centric Operating System and The Omniscient Buyer. In this conversation, Andy and Sean explore how AI is reshaping how customers and partners discover, evaluate, and decide—often before any human interaction occurs. They’ll discuss the rise of the AI-augmented buyer, how trust and clarity change when machines evaluate first, and what leaders and practitioners must understand to avoid designing for yesterday’s buyer. Recorded live in front of the Cloud Nirvana community, this session blends real-world experience and systems thinking for a grounded look at competing in an AI-shaped market.?: 05:00 PM - 06:00 PMClosing + Happy HourHost: Jim Gehring, CEO &amp; Founder, Foundatia
