CoreShift 2026 is Back — Bigger, Bolder, and More practical than ever
Join business and technology leaders to explore how enterprises are building Data + AI foundations that deliver real outcomes — across manufacturing, asset operations, and digital transformation imperatives worldwide.
Why CoreShift 2026 Matters Most (& Why Now)
2026 is the year Data + AI stops being a lab experiment — and becomes a business expectation.
But adoption doesn’t equal impact.
Most organizations are still stuck in pilots due to disconnected data, low trust, limited governance, and solutions that don’t scale.
That’s why CoreShift exists, to help you build and operationalize Data + AI that delivers measurable outcomes.
And with agentic AI accelerating, execution matters, Gartner warns over 40% of agentic AI projects could be canceled by the end of 2027 if value isn’t proven.

FAQs for CoreShift 2026
CoreShift 2026 is a free, global virtual summit on Data, AI, and Digital Transformation, taking place 15–16 September 2026 (14:00–17:45 CET). Registration is completely free and provides access to the full two-day program, including live demos, real-world architectures, and practical playbooks. For those seeking a more guided approach, registrants can also book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss their Data + AI roadmap.
CoreShift 2026 focuses on how enterprises are building Data + AI foundations that deliver measurable outcomes, particularly across manufacturing, asset operations, and digital transformation initiatives. The timing is critical; 88% of organizations now report regular AI use in at least one business function, yet many remain stuck in pilots rather than achieving scaled impact. CoreShift exists to help teams transition from adoption to execution, especially as AI agents accelerate. Gartner warns that over 40% of agentic AI projects may be canceled by the end of 2027 if value is not clearly demonstrated.
CoreShift 2026 is structured as a focused two-day summit with two practical tracks:
- Day 1 (Functional Track): Manufacturing and asset operations outcomes; business solutions for manufacturing excellence (including predictive maintenance, OEE, quality, HSSE, and automation); governance using accelerators; and enterprise agentic process automation, all supported by live demos.
- Day 2 (Technical Track): Microsoft Fabric ontology solutions, real-time intelligence architectures (Fabric RTI, Azure IoT Edge, Azure IoT Operations, and time-series streaming), and guidance on how to implement agentic AI safely and effectively, with demonstrations.
This structure aligns with Gartner’s expectation that 40% of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents by 2026, making real architectures, governance, and execution essential.
CoreShift 2026 is designed for business and technology leaders responsible for scaling real outcomes from data and AI, particularly in manufacturing excellence, asset performance, and enterprise transformation. It is especially relevant for leaders addressing common blockers such as disconnected data, low trust, governance gaps, and solutions that fail to scale the same issues that cause many AI initiatives to stall despite widespread adoption. The summit is also highly practical for teams building modern platforms (e.g., Fabric, real-time intelligence, IoT, and ontologies) and operationalizing agentic AI responsibly.
Early registration is the easiest way to stay ahead of everything announced before the summit goes live. Early registrants receive advance access to partner announcements, customer transformation spotlights, demo previews and agenda updates, and the option to book a free 30-minute consultation. This helps de-risk planning, especially as Gartner highlights both the rapid rise of AI agents and the high cancellation risk for agentic AI initiatives without clear value and controls.
