IBM is preparing for its TechXchange 2026 conference, scheduled for October 26–29 in Atlanta. The event will focus on enterprise AI orchestration, specifically addressing how organizations manage agents across existing data, applications, and infrastructure.

Bruno Aziza, group vice president at IBM, emphasized that companies must master hybrid environments, including hybrid data, operations, and automation. The company's AI operating model aims to connect agent orchestration with data integration and hybrid cloud infrastructure.

A key component of the model is the Sovereign Core, which incorporates over 200 compliance frameworks. This system is designed to help enterprises manage sovereignty across data, technology, operations, and regulatory requirements.

The conference will feature practitioner-led sessions with representatives from organizations such as Citigroup Inc., CVS Health Corp., and DoorDash Inc. These discussions are intended to help leaders share experiences on implementing AI in diverse business environments.
