**RSVP HERE: https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4906300/rhexpressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000495463** While LLMs have unlocked powerful conversational capabilities, enterprise IT requires more than text generation, it demands AI agents that can safely reason, act, and collaborate across complex hybrid environments.

Featured Speaker: Jonathan Edwards — Senior OpenShift Technical Account Manager & HPC Engineer, Red Hat Jonathan works directly with major financial services institutions to implement and tune large-scale OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters, with a dedicated focus on AI automation and enterprise tooling.
