TRANSFORM comes to the Post Oak Hotel in Houston, Texas on September 15, 2026 and the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera in Frankfurt, Germany on October 22, 2026.
As companies move from experimenting with AI to production, many are realizing that production environments pose problems that traditional cloud architectures cannot address. Connectivity constraints, security requirements, disparate hardware, and the realities of managing systems across thousands of locations are reshaping the way enterprises think about their AI infrastructure.
With the theme “Intelligence at the Edge: Where AI Meets the Physical World,” TRANSFORM explores how organizations can build and operate intelligent systems in real-world environments. The event will feature technical sessions, customer stories, expert panels, and discussions focused on the practical realities of large-scale AI deployments.
“AI is getting closer and closer to where decisions need to be made,” said Said Ouissal, CEO and founder of ZEDEDA. “TRANSFORM is designed for builders, operators, and innovators taking on the challenge of running AI in distributed environments. The conversation will focus on what organizations are learning from production deployments and how those lessons will shape the future of edge intelligence.”
The meeting agenda will consider topics such as:
- Edge intelligence and autonomous operations
- Physical AI and real-time systems
- AI infrastructure, inference, and agents
- Edge orchestration and fleet operations
- Security and resiliency in distributed environments
- AI acceleration and heterogeneous hardware
- Scale Edge AI from pilot projects to production
- Fusion of OT and IT
ZEDEDA’s call for proposals is currently open to practitioners, technology leaders, developers, and industry experts with direct experience in deploying and operating AI in the field. The conference will prioritize customer case studies, technical deep dives, demonstrations, and panel discussions demonstrating measurable results from production deployments. Selected speakers will receive free event access and the opportunity to share their expertise with a community of industry leaders, developers, and enterprise technology teams.
