TechSommet sets virtual summit on agentic process orchestration for Oct. 15

TechSommet will host a free virtual summit tomorrow on how enterprises can move AI agents from pilots into governed production workflows. The event comes as new research shows broad experimentation with agentic AI, but very limited deployment at scale.

Why it matters: - Enterprises are still struggling to turn AI agent experiments into production workflows that are governed, auditable and connected to core business systems. - Camunda’s 2026 State of Agentic Orchestration and Automation report found that 71% of organizations use AI agents, but only 11% of agentic use cases reached production in the past year. - The gap matters because enterprise leaders are now deciding how to scale agents safely across operations, rather than whether to try them at all.

What happened: - TechSommet will host a free virtual summit on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM CET. - The event is titled “Future of Agentic Process Orchestration: Connecting AI, People & Enterprise Systems.” - The summit will focus on how enterprises can connect AI agents, people and enterprise systems in orchestrated workflows. - Registration is available through the webinar page, and the event page says the session will also be available on demand. - The event sponsor is Camunda.

The details: - Camunda’s report was based on a survey of 1,150 senior IT and business decision-makers. - The same research found that 73% of decision-makers see a gap between their vision for agentic AI and what they have today. - The report also found that 85% say their processes are not yet mature enough to implement agentic orchestration. - The summit will be moderated by Ayodeji Ogunmola, chief technology officer at Aquifert. - Featured speakers include Julia Kielar of Capita, Max Körbächer of Liquid Reply, Arka Dutta of ISS STOXX, Sathya Srinivasan of Camunda and Pawel Andre of NTT DATA. - The discussion will cover the shift from automation to orchestration, enterprise system integration, multi-agent workflows, human-AI collaboration, governance, process intelligence, infrastructure for scale and impact measurement. - The event is aimed at senior leaders in AI strategy, enterprise transformation, automation, digital operations, technology, process excellence and intelligent enterprise initiatives. - Target attendees include CIOs, CTOs, chief AI officers, COOs, heads of automation, enterprise architects and leaders in finance, procurement, HR, supply chain and risk. - Camunda describes its platform as an enterprise system for agentic orchestration with built-in governance, auditability and human oversight.

Between the lines: - Analyst warnings suggest the market is moving from hype to scrutiny. - Gartner has predicted that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 because of rising costs, unclear business value or weak risk controls. - Gartner has also warned about “agent washing,” where vendors rebrand chatbots, assistants and RPA tools as agentic AI. - Gartner estimates that only about 130 of the thousands of vendors making agentic claims offer genuine capabilities. - At the same time, Gartner expects agentic AI to be part of one-third of enterprise software applications by 2028 and to make at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions autonomously.

What's next: - The summit is expected to push the conversation from experimentation toward operational controls, measurable outcomes and enterprise-scale deployment. - TechSommet said the session will be available on demand after the live event. - TechSommet said it organizes virtual executive briefings, specialist panels and industry summits focused on emerging technology and enterprise transformation.

The bottom line: - The event lands at a point where enterprises are eager to use AI agents, but still need a practical playbook for governance, integration and scale.
