Event Description

Organizations are navigating a critical inflection point in endpoint strategy. Windows 11 migration, device refresh cycles, distributed workforces, and the growing pressure to support AI workloads are converging at once, often without a clear, unified roadmap.

This executive discussion will explore how IT leaders are approaching AI-ready endpoints, strengthening device-level security, and simplifying lifecycle management across distributed environments. We will examine how to balance performance, manageability, and cost while delivering a consistent employee experience at scale, and how to modernize endpoint strategy in a way that prepares the organization for long-term AI adoption without increasing operational complexity.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises, AMD & Dell invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

Discussion Topics

  • Many organizations are facing simultaneous device refresh, Windows 11 migration, and AI-readiness conversations without a unified strategy.
    • How leaders are prioritizing investments across hardware, OS, and AI capability
    • Where organizations are consolidating versus expanding their endpoint stack
  • The pressure to adopt AI at the edge is rising, but many teams lack clarity on what AI-ready actually means for devices.
    • What practical AI workloads are emerging at the endpoint
    • How leaders are evaluating next-generation silicon such as AMD Ryzen AI processors to determine what AI workloads truly belong at the endpoint versus the cloud
  • Security risk continues to expand at the device level as work becomes more distributed.
    • How endpoint-level security is evolving
    • Where hardware-based security reduces downstream complexity
  • Managing a distributed device fleet has become more operationally complex and more expensive.
    • How organizations are leveraging enterprise device portfolios such as Dell Latitude, Precision, and OptiPlex to simplify standardization, lifecycle planning, and hybrid workforce support
    • Balancing standardization with user flexibility
  • User expectations for performance continue to rise, even as budgets tighten.
    • How leaders are measuring employee experience at the device level
    • What trade-offs are being made between performance and cost
