From Infrastructure to Impact: Building Cloud and DevOps Strategies That Enable Resilience, Trust, and AI Readiness
Thursday, October 29th | 6:00 PM CT
 

Every technology leader wants to move faster. Few have built the infrastructure to move faster safely — and that gap is what separates organizations ready for AI from those still catching up.

Jalen Byford, Chief Information Officer at Humana Healthy Horizons, brings his cloud, infrastructure, and DevOps expertise to the table with "From Infrastructure to Impact: Building Cloud and DevOps Strategies That Enable Resilience, Trust, and AI Readiness."

In this session, executives will discover:

  • How cloud and infrastructure modernization support mission-critical operations, not just cost savings
  • Why DevOps should be tied to business outcomes, not just speed and efficiency
  • How to build resilient, scalable systems with security and governance at the foundation, not bolted on after the fact
  • What it actually takes to prepare an organization for responsible AI adoption through stronger infrastructure and data practices
  • How technology leaders balance innovation, compliance, and operational reliability without sacrificing one for another

As the #1 short-format tech event for executives, TechTalk Summits brings you an intimate evening of substantive dialogue, high-value networking, and premium dining with peers navigating the same infrastructure decisions.

Secure your spot now.
