The 18th GIO Roundtable

Events Introduce
The 18th GIO Roundtable will take place in Shanghai on September 17, 2026. Agentic AI is redefining the industry landscape. With its ability to make autonomous decisions, break down complex tasks, and execute end-to-end operations, it is moving beyond traditional human-machine interaction and emerging as a core driver of transformation across industries. While the market is expanding and technology is evolving rapidly, fragmentation in architectures, standards, security governance, and ecosystems is holding back large-scale adoption. This roundtable brings together leaders from industry organizations and enterprises to address these challenges head-on. Our focus will be on practical, actionable discussions around standardization, industry collaboration, and ecosystem building, with the goal of charting a path toward sustainable, high-quality growth for agentic AI.
