The program will cover topics including the potential of AI agents, leveraging AI in IT management, secure implementation, and proactive IT maintenance through customer examples.<\/p>

After the program, the evening continues in a relaxed atmosphere with good food, drinks, and networking. <\/p>

The event is free and targeted at IT decision-makers.<\/p>
