The 2026 AI Summit aims to bridge the gap between model capability and data structure. Independent data strategist Alan Morrison argues that the industry must move beyond standard retrieval methods to embrace knowledge-first approaches, particularly to support the rise of Agentic AI. The sessions are designed to move beyond theory, providing attendees with blueprints for building explainable, auditable systems that satisfy both business stakeholders and regulators.

Over the two-day event, industry speakers will detail their experiences in governance and infrastructure design. The agenda splits into two primary tracks: the first day focuses on establishing trust and ROI, while the second day centers on technical implementation and maintaining systems in high-stakes environments. Graphwise, formed from the merger of Ontotext and Semantic Web Company, intends the summit to serve as a practical guide for organizations looking to stabilize their AI investments and reduce technical complexity.
