| 8:40 AM - 9:10 AM | Perforce Strategy & Vision As organizations move faster, the challenge is no longer just velocity. It is maintaining governance, security, compliance, and trust while operating at AI speed. Our vision is centered on a simple idea: speed without control doesn't scale. Join CTO Anjali Arora as she shares Perforce's strategy for the AI era and why we are uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate this shift. With capabilities spanning Code, Quality, Data, and Infrastructure, Perforce provides the foundation enterprises need to build and deliver software with greater speed, scale, trust, and control as development becomes increasingly driven by AI and autonomous systems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9:10 AM - 9:40 AM | Cross-Portfolio Customer Panel: AI Beyond the Hype - Wins, Risks, and What Comes Next AI is rapidly reshaping how enterprises build, test, secure, and deliver software, but the reality is far more nuanced than the headlines. In this candid cross-portfolio customer panel, technology leaders from across the software delivery ecosystem will share where AI is delivering measurable value, where expectations have fallen short, and the operational, financial, and organizational challenges emerging along the way. From ROI and rising costs to workforce impact, investment priorities, and the risks that keep leaders up at night, this discussion will explore what it truly takes to navigate AI at enterprise scale. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 10:00 AM - 12:15 PM | Perforce Agentic Gateway Join Shane Evans, Director of Product Management, and Deepak Giridharagopal, CTO for Platform Automation at Perforce Software, to explore how Perforce Agentic Gateway enables organizations to safely connect AI agents with the tools, data, and workflows that power software development. As AI agents become more deeply embedded across the software lifecycle, enterprises need a consistent way for those agents to access capabilities and take action while maintaining security, governance, and control. Perforce Agentic Gateway provides a common gateway that connects AI agents to capabilities across the Perforce portfolio, enabling teams to bring agentic workflows into their existing development processes. This session will explore how Perforce Agentic Gateway uses MCP and agentic workflows to connect AI with Code, Quality, Data, and Infrastructure, helping organizations move from individual AI assistants toward more connected and autonomous software development while maintaining the enterprise controls they need.
| Perforce Autonomous Testing Join Stephen Feloney, VP of Product, Continuous Testing at Perforce Software, to explore how organizations can keep pace with AI driven development through Autonomous Testing, the validation layer for modern software delivery. As AI accelerates how applications are designed and built, testing must evolve with it. Autonomous Testing uses application context and requirements to generate tests, provision compliant production like environments and data, and continuously execute and adapt testing as applications change. Powered by capabilities across BlazeMeter, Perfecto, and Delphix, this session will explore how organizations can automate more of the validation lifecycle and build confidence in what they ship, even as software development becomes faster and increasingly autonomous. | Perforce Unified Compliance Join Ron Hoffner, VP of Product at Perforce Software, to explore how organizations can stay in control as compliance requirements become more complex across the software development lifecycle. As regulatory requirements expand and technology environments become more distributed and interconnected, maintaining compliance is increasingly costly and difficult, especially at the pace of modern development. Unified Compliance creates a centralized trust layer across the software lifecycle, enabling organizations to consistently apply and enforce policy across code, infrastructure, testing, and data while continuously collecting evidence and maintaining end to end traceability. Built on capabilities across Puppet, Delphix, Perforce IPLM, and P4, this session will explore how organizations can move from fragmented, manual compliance processes toward continuous compliance, reducing the burden on development teams while strengthening visibility, auditability, and control. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM | Networking Lunch: Product Line Breakout Room With Introductions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM | Breakout Room 1: Code Join us for an engaging breakout session focused on the evolving role of Version Control and IP Management in the AI lifecycle (AILC). We’ll explore key areas including how to run AI agents with governance, auditability, and reproducibility. We’ll discuss our vision for IPLM governing agent inputs while P4 governs agent outputs. Along the way, we’ll cover the importance of measuring AI productivity, complying with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act Article 53, and enforcing immutable audit trails. Throughout the session, we’ll exchange perspectives, explore new ideas, and connect with peers tackling similar challenges, leaving with practical takeaways and a stronger understanding of what’s ahead. | Breakout Room 2: Quality Join us for a collaborative breakout session centered on the future of testing and quality in an AI-driven world. Grounded in your priorities, we’ll kick off with a discussion around what your organization is aiming to achieve over the next year, and how testing strategies are evolving to support those goals. We’ll then dive into a discussion around Autonomous Testing, exploring what capabilities exist today and what’s on the horizon across BlazeMeter and Perfecto. From current state to future direction, we’ll focus on how testing is becoming more intelligent, adaptive, and aligned to modern development practices. Throughout the session, we’ll gather your feedback, exchange perspectives, and surface what matters most as testing continues to evolve, helping shape the roadmap while uncovering new approaches to drive quality and speed. | Breakout Room 3: Data Join us for an interactive breakout session designed to shape the future of data, together. Throughout this session, your insights, challenges, and priorities will help inform the direction of Delphix innovation. We’ll explore key areas including the Agentic Data Platform and its role in powering AI-ready data workflows, the evolution of Continuous Compliance across structured and unstructured data, and emerging approaches to Synthetic Data for AI training and testing. We’ll also discuss ephemeral cloud databases and Continuous Data, and how these capabilities are transforming modern data operations. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to share perspectives, react to new ideas, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges, walking away with fresh insights and a clearer view of what’s ahead. | Breakout Room 4: Infrastructure Join us for an interactive breakout session focused on how organizations can achieve continuous compliance across all infrastructure, from traditional environments to the edge and beyond. Your perspectives will help shape how Puppet continues to evolve in an increasingly complex, distributed world. We’ll explore how teams are maintaining control across air-gapped environments, sovereign cloud requirements, and connected devices, from retail point-of-sale systems to industrial operations. We’ll also look ahead to managing compliance in Kubernetes environments as organizations transition from VMs, and what’s next as AI agents become part of the infrastructure landscape. Along the way, share how you’re approaching compliance today, where challenges are emerging, and what capabilities matter most as environments grow more dynamic, so you can keep systems secure, compliant, and ready for what’s next. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
